Yom Kippur Day Of Atonement And Repentance And The "New And Improved" UUA Board Of Trustees - What's The Connection?

How about this very first "electronic communication" aka email that I sent to the "new", and hopefully improved... UUA Board of Trustees yesterday, just hours before the 2013 observance of Yom Kippur aka The Day Of Atonement began?



How About Some Yom Kippur Repentance By The UUA?

Friday The 13th, September 2013,


Dear UUA Moderator Jim Key and UUA Trustees,

As a result of the previous incarnation(s) of the UUA Board of Trustees during former UUA Moderator Gini Courter's "Reign Of Error" abjectly failing, or indeed quite obstinately refusing. . . to respond in responsibility to the Spirit that bloweth where is listeth, I am hereby calling upon you to respond in genuine responsibility to the letter and the Spirit of the "electronic communication" aka email that I sent to the UUA Board of Trustees eight months ago on Friday January 18, 2013, which is forwarded to you below.

It has come to my attention that the UUA Board is currently in a Board retreat* with UUA staff. It thus seems to me that, since the observance of Yom Kippur aka The Day Of Atonement begins at sunset this evening and continues until sunset on Saturday, this particular UUA Board retreat might be a particularly appropriate occasion for the UUA Board of Trustees to freely and responsibly enter into into an examination of its collective conscience and to move towards sincere repentance and atonement for the UUA Board's past failures, and apparent refusals, to honour and uphold Unitarian Universalist principles and ideals in its rather inhuman human relations with me and other people who have dared to file formal misconduct complaints against "less than perfect" UU clergy and-or "less than competent" UUA staff, such as recently "retired" UUA Executive Vice President Kathleen "'Kay" Montgomery to name but one. . .

Please take the time to enter into a free and genuinely *responsible* search for the Truth and meaning of these "electronic communications" towards the end of properly honoring and upholding the Second Principle of Unitarian Universalism which calls upon UUs to affirm and promote justice, equity and compassion in human relations. The UUA's incredibly hubristic decision to falsely accuse me of the archaic crime of blasphemous libel for blogging about some UUs who have actually been convicted of engaging in "such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" is foolish beyond belief and I hereby call upon the new UUA Board to take steps to ensure that the Peter Morales' administration formally withdraws this completely bogus criminal accusation against me, and profusely and publicly apologizes to me for having the hubris and audacity to bring this and other highly questionable accusations against me via its Canadian attorneys Stikeman Elliott LLP Barristers & Solicitors.

You may affirm and promote the inherent worth and dignity of this person by having the human decency to formally acknowledge receipt of this email in a timely manner. Previous incarnations of the UUA Board of Trustees have not so much as acknowledged receipt of my "electronic communications" for years now. . .

Sincerely,

Robin Edgar aka The Emerson Avenger


P.S. Here is a new The Emerson Avenger blog post about the most recent "electronic communication" that I sent to "less than lucky" UUA President Peter Morales and Stikeman Elliott attorney Maitre Marc-André Coulombe.

Without Prejudice

Freya's Day January 18, 2013

Dear UUA Trustees,

Congratulations!

As seems to be your wont aka habit, you are doing a truly spectacular job of validating this well known saying that is (perhaps erroneously) attributed to one Edmund Burke-

"All that is required for evil to prevail is for good men to do nothing."

Or indeed the following well documented words of one Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. -

“The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.”

and

“Not only will we have to repent for the sins of bad people; but we also will have to repent for the appalling silence of good people.”

Not to mention these words attributed to Abraham Lincoln aka "Honest Abe" -

“To sin by silence, when they should protest, makes cowards of men.”

And last, but by no means least. . . these words attributed to Albert Einstein.

“If I were to remain silent, I'd be guilty of complicity.”

Please be assured that I am beginning to have serious doubts about UUA Trustees being "good people" in light of your past and ongoing abject failure, and apparent obstinate refusal, to "do the right thing".

If by the close of the January 2013 UUA Board of Trustees meetings, the UUA Board of Trustees has not formally censured the "less than perfect" Rev. Peter Morales' UUA administration for engaging in the outrageously hypocritical legal bullying that I have brought to the Board's attention in previous emails, such as the "electronic communication" forwarded to you below and various other emails sent to the Board before and after that email, I will consider the UUA Board of Trustees to be complicit in the legal intimidation in question, not to mention the egregious UU clergy sexual misconduct, and non-sexual "conduct unbecoming a minister", that this shameful and hubristic UUA legal bullying seeks to cover-up and hide from public view on the ever so interconnected, and indeed interdependent, web of existence known as the internet.

For those few new UUA Board members who may not be fully "up to speed" regarding this U*U mess, which is now over seven months old in terms of the truly blunderful cease and desist demand letter that the UUA so foolishly, and outrageously hypocritically, hired Stikeman Elliott litigation lawyer Maitre Marc-André Coulombe to have me served with in early June of 2012, you are hereby invited to engage in a free and truly *responsible* search for the Truth and meaning of what I have posted to the interconnected web in these and other The Emerson Avenger blog posts -

Suffice it to say that my (to date) comparatively few "allegations to the effect that ministers of the Association engage in such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" are by no means "unfounded and vicious" as the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations and its Canadian legal counsel, Stikeman Elliott attorney Maitre Marc-André Coulombe, so disingenuously aka "less than Truthfully" *pretend* in the UUA's "less than honest" cease and desist demand letter.

Besides censuring the Rev. Peter Morales' UUA administration, including censuring UUA Executive Vice President Kathleen 'Kay Montgomery who is personally responsible for coordinating the UUA's legal counsel, and thus must bear a high degree of personal responsibility for this Big Fat U*U Fiasco. I additionally demand that the UUA Board of Trustees must takes steps to ensure that each and every individual UUA leader, and each individual UUA staff person, who bears some responsible for this immoral and unethical legal bullying, which makes a total mockery of UU principles and ideals and shamefully betrays Unitarian Universalist religious history, faces real accountability for their personal role in creating this situation.

Needless to say, if the UUA Board of Trustees fails or refuses to acquiesce to my reasonable demands which, unlike the UUA's  shamefully cynical and hypocritical demands towards me, are entirely consistent with the claimed principles and ideals of Unitarian Universalism which, amongst other things, call for Unitarian Universalists to affirm and promote justice, equity and compassion in human relations, I will feel morally obligated to govern myself accordingly by censuring the UUA Board of Trustees, amongst other perfectly legal things that I can and will do if the UUA foolishly continues to refuse to formally withdraw its false accusations against me and to sincerely and very publicly apologize to me for having the audacity to bring these false (if not perjurious) accusations against me.

DO GOVERN YOURSELVES ACCORDINGLY

Friday October 19, 2012 aka Spirit Day 2012 

Dear UUA Trustee,

As much as I am deeply appreciative of the extraordinary honour and privilege that the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations chose to bestow upon me by falsely accusing me of the archaic crime of blasphemous libel on the unfounded basis that I have made "unfounded and vicious allegations to the effect that ministers of the Association engage in such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" I believe that it is in the best interests of the UUA and the greater Unitarian Universalist "religion" to formally withdraw that false accusation and to publicly and comprehensively apologize to me for having had that bogus criminal accusation brought against me by one of your "less than perfect" Canadian attorneys from Stikeman Elliott LLP Barristers & Solicitors, namely Maitre Marc-André Coulombe. In fact I firmly believe that the UUA Board of Trustees would be very well advised to take steps to ensure that those staff members of the Rev. Peter Morales' UUA administration who are responsible for hiring Stikeman Elliott LLP solicitor Maitre Marc-André Coulombe to draw up (if not dream up. . .) the highly questionable cease and desist demand letter, that is dated May 29, 2012 and which was initially sent to me via email on June 1st of this year, are help fully accountable for their "less than competent" and "less than ethical" to say nothing of "less than intelligent" behavior which makes a total mockery of many if not most of the purported principles and ideals of Unitarian Universalism. 

UUA Executive Vice President Kathleen "'Kay" Montgomery "supervises all senior UUA staff" and, perhaps more to the point. . . "coordinates the work of the UUA's legal counsel" which logically includes coordinating the work of any and all attorneys working for Stikeman Elliott LLP Barristers & Solicitors who claimed to be "the Canadian attorneys for the Unitarian Universalist Association" in the cease and desist demand letter that Maitre Marc-André Coulombe sent to me in early June of this year. I thus have very reasonable grounds to believe that Kathleen "'Kay" Montgomery is responsible for oversight and even approval of the highly questionable content of that legal document. Allow me to remind UUA Trustees that, in her capacity as the supervisor of the day-to-day management of the Unitarian Universalist Association and the coordinator of the work of the UUA's legal counsel for the better part of three decades since being appointed to that position in 1985, UUA Executive Vice President Ms. Kathleen "'Kay" Montgomery is very well positioned to know perfectly well that my (to date) comparatively few "allegations to the effect that ministers of the Association engage in such despicable crimes as pedophilia and rape" are anything but *unfounded* as the UUA has falsely, if not outright perjuriously, alleged in the cease and desist demand letter that it hired its Canadian attorney Maitre Marc-André Coulombe to have me served with. In that Kathleen Montgomery was responsible for supervising the negligent and effectively complicit manner in which senior UUA staff Rev. Dr. Tracey Robinson-Harris and Rev. Beth Miller arbitrarily dismissed my unbecoming conduct complaint against Rev. Dr. Victoria Weinstein aka Peacebang, and thus effectively okayed Peacebang's "sodomy fantasy" amongst other insulting and abusive behavior, "'Kay" Montgomery is similarly well positioned to know perfectly well that Peacebang's "sodomy fantasy", which obscenely (and indeed quite Sadistically) imagined Republican South Dakota state senator Bill Napoli "anally impaled on the Statue of Liberty's torch", is rather more worthy of being described as "threatening and defamatory conduct amounting to sexual harassment" of Republican senator William M. Napoli than my subsequent The Emerson Avenger blog posts which criticized and mocked Peacebang's "sodomy fantasy" and criticized senior UUA staff members Congregational Services Director Rev. Dr. Tracey Robinson-Harris, and MFC Executive Secretary Rev. Beth Miller, for pretending that Peacebang's insulting and abusive behavior was "outside of her professional role as a minister serving a congregation." 

Above and beyond this, UUA Executive Vice President Ms. Kathleen C. Montgomery has coordinated UUA Amici Curiae briefs including one which asserts that ALL blasphemy laws are unconstitutional. Indeed I would not be surprised if it was as a result of supervising that particular Amicus that "'Kay" came up with the cynical and just plain foolish notion to have the UUA's Canadian attorneys accuse me of the archaic crime of blasphemous libel which is still "on the books" in the Canadian Criminal Code. These and other outrageously hypocritical double standards exercised by Ms. Kathleen "'Kay" Montgomery on behalf of the Unitarian Universalist Association aka UUA are very well documented and they call into question the moral and ethical integrity of not only the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations but the greater Unitarian Universalist religious community which the UUA ostensibly serves and represents. I thus hereby demand that the UUA Board of Trustees must take steps to ensure that the role of UUA Executive Vice President Kathleen Montgomery in Stikeman Elliott attorney Maitre Marc-André Coulombe's aggressive, arrogant (if not outright hubristic), shamelessly hypocritical, and indeed just plain foolish legal intimidation is thoroughly investigated and that "'Kay" Montgomery is held fully accountable for her personal involvement in this utterly shameful and quite frankly embarrassing act of legal bullying on behalf of the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations.

DO GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY
