EMAIL CORRESPONDENCE WITH JEFF CAPEHART RE: SCOTT WEST'S COMPLAINT TO
ARRL NFL SM
Email 1: - Jeff sends me an email making big deal about Scott
complaining about me in an email that he'd sent to the ARRL SFL SM. Then Jeff
withholds a copy of Scott's email from me claiming that he's not wanting to
"inflame the situation". But then, that's why he told me in the first place.
Right?...So that I wouldn't get upset?...

Well, I'm trying not to inflame the situation. This has already been
dealt with. Drudging it back up won't help anyone or anything. I
don't expect anyone to take Scott seriously the way he composed his
email. I just wanted to give you a heads-up that Scott may be trying
to stir things up. I'll just summarize a few of his Scott-isms:
Your name is 'Tood', Scott wants people to 'ack like an adult', and
says he wouldn't 'step this low' (stoop), but that's 'after
the dusk settled' (dust). I'm sure its just his blackberry keyboard
that is the problem. (AHEM!)
Basically he wants ARRL to do something about Melissa for that email
that caused you to send the cops on him.
So if it helps him achieve his goal, and if that's your goal too, then
it sounds like Scott wants to do you a favor. But he isn't clear
about what exactly he wants done. He just wants "corrective action"
taken by ARRL and N. Florida so he sent it to Joe.
I'm not sure what damage control he is trying to do, or how it gets
you involved other than the bit about calling the cops on him because
of that email.
But he can't open that door without opening the door to his own wrong
actions.
He doesn't say anything specific about you that he wants done.

Ok. Will send.
Hey, what was the article in the paper for today? Didn't see anything

Here's the email from Scott where your name is mentioned.
Notice the numerous typos, grammatical errors, mistakes, and
self-contradictory statements.
Do you still have the original email that you got? I don't think I
ever saw it.
