Well, I filed a complaint against my neighbor this afternoon with the local PD. Officer Ulmer the same officer who cited me for trespassing on the public right of way when I returned some signs (at his direction, by the way) two years ago, took the report. He has, in the past promised that he will review other damage done to my property which included the moving of a licensed survey stake. Despite repeated calls by me, he never followed through or called my surveyor and my $500 survey was wasted.
Consequently, it is with some skepticism that I believe when he tells me that he will speak to the neighbor or advise her that any continuation of the behavior will be harassment. He has told me that before. So I am recording this event here as a record in addition to the other records I have been forced to maintain. Will let you know if he follows through or keeps his word this time.
UPDATE: A police car was seen visiting the neighbor this evening. The neighbor has bragged publicly, in the paper in fact, and elsewhere that the DA will handle my complaints about her specifically. I am not sure what this means exactly but if the DA or the police are treating my complaints differently than anyone else’s because of the statements of a private citizen then my civil rights ARE being violated and I AM being denied equal protection.
My property was damaged again today. There was a witness. I have pictures as before. When will the PD cite this person and stop the endless stream of harassment my family has been subjected to? All of you who support the police and criticize me for speaking out would be just as angry as I am if you had been treated the same way.
“Gossip generally refers to talk of scandal, slander, or schadenfreude relating to known associates of the participants, and discussed in an underhand or clandestine manner….
While gossip forms one of the oldest and (still) the most common means of spreading and sharing facts and views, it also has a reputation for the introduction of errors and other variations into the information thus transmitted.”
You have made several poor and deliberately negative assumptions about choices I may or not have made, my character even my motivations. You have printed those assumptions here which technically qualifies as gossip and you have admitted to discussing me with others… gossip. I am so tired of being judged by people who don’t care enough to ask the other side of the story but care enough to spread gossip about me and my family.
After three years of this meanspirited gossip, ridicule and harassment I have been FORCED to fight back to protect my children… you and your friends, the “us’ refered to above can soon entertain yourselves reading the pleadings at the courthouse. My family and I just want to be left alone.
magix, I try to stay above most of the comments about people. The only reason that I commented the way that I did was because of being called a troll by one of the bloggers.
And you are right in the fact that I do not know you very well.
The reason I didn’t come to court back in july I was called by the d.a.’s office and said you all of a sudden pleaded guilty at the last minute and my testimony in the case was not needed, so I didn’t. I wish I would have now.
I do not repeat lies because it is not constructive to anybody.
I do not gossip about things I do not know.
All I want is everybody to get along but in this world of ours I know everybody will have differences of opinion.
But please do not take this the wrong way, all I want personally is to be paid by the courts. That said all you have to do is pay them which you probably already know, but have chosen not to for some reason.
As far as not speaking to you personally, I have not seen you even though I have been told by people around you what to look for. Some of it good,some not.
Like I said before I am not a troll and I do not gossip about which I do not know are the facts of said case.
Thanks for your time.
tell me rayjay, since you obviously do not know me how you are so well informed about me. Tell me why you feel free to make these types of statements about someone you have never bothered to speak to.
Why is it that so many Coquillians are so eager to repeat lies about someone they don’t even know? They repeat lies and accuse others of lying. Please advise me of your sources of information
You may not be a troll but you are a gossip
For one thing, except for being born in the 60’s before bay area hospital, I have lived in Coquille all of my life.
I am not new to coquille just to some of the blogs that don’t make any sense to me because most of the ones I have seen do not tell the truth.
I know who some people call the troll on the corner and that description of said person couldn’t be more false. And by the way it does not do any good to call people names because it doesn’t solve anything.
I am pretty sure who you are Magix so please pay the courts so I can be paid. If not you have your relations pay for you. Because most of us know already that you don’t have enough money to pay the ones the courts told you to but you have enough money to hire lawyers for other stuff your are involved it.
By the way I am not a troll. Enough said
Thank you for your comment rayjay,
Sometimes, for purposes of polite discourse it is appropriate to leave names out of posts. However, this particular issue is now public knowledge and the neighbor spoken of above is Philippa Benson.
Sorry for any confusion
rayjay4166, maybe you are new to Coquille, I thought everyone in town knows who the troll on the corner is.
If you’re new, you’ll find out soon enough! If you are a troll, well, it takes one to know one.
I know this may sound petty to some people but sometimes it just would be nice to name who you are or who you are talking about. Sometimes it is hard to understand your comments because the comments are all over the map.
She has no real friends… just acquaintances or fellow users. People who perpetuate lies particularly about children without ever trying to learn the truth are pretty low. Note none of her ‘friends’ have the courage to identify themselves and many of her more upstanding acquaintances have started avoiding her like the plague.
On the flip side I am reading a funny book to my daughter about the Wicked Witch in Oz. It is written from the perspective of the witch and how her unfortunate birth, abusive parents, cruel friends, etc… led to her mental state and world famous meanness. Sort of an ‘abused child’ defense. Can’t help but think about neighbor as I read this book. Real friends would see that she got help.
Envy goeth before a fall……………….
How sad to be at the end of your life and have nothing, absolutely nothing left but meanness, envy, and hatred. What a pathetic life. And to think, her friends must be encouraging her, shows how little they really think of her, doesn’t it? They must be laughing their heads off at her behind her back, is what I hear.
Remember the story about the Billy Goat Gruff? There was a troll living under the bridge there, too. Clippity Clop. Or maybe it would be bam, bam bam with a hammer, doesn’t matter, makes me want to sing: Ding Dong the Witch is…………….
She would be wise to remember:
WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND.
Her hate will come back to bite her on the butt, just like HER dog did. But then, she lied about that, too.
She is a bloodless, dessicated old hag trying to suck the life blood out of living, breathing beings. Her public display would tip off any normal person but despite being caught in multiple lies, a couple of major lies, people still want to perpetuate her myths. ie over at BlueOregon. I can only say that they tread a very slippery slope
I’m so sorry the police won’t stop this woman. I have seen her public displays of pure hate, myself, first person. And I was shocked the city counsel allowed it, she seems to have some sort of “hold” over the city officials. I would think a demand for action is long, long overdue. This woman seems dangerous to me. Like I said, I was speechless (a very UNCOMMON occurance I might add) just listening to her hateful, vindictive, public rant, oh, then she walked outside and Mrs. Chief hugged her, warmly. Humm…..
