    Does deposing me in two cases I knew nothing about, 
    dropping off dead agent material saying I was a criminal to 
    all my neighbors, visiting my elderly parents, attempting to 
    kidnap my niece and nephew, beating up my friends, accusing 
    me of being a child molester and trying to frame me for 
    threatening to kill someone I've never even met, count?

    Quoting the "opinions of others" is part oif that inalienable
    right.
