Keystone-Pundit is NOT related to Keystone_Pundit on Twitter !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To whom it may concern

It has come to my attention that some people on Twitter have concluded that I am somehow the owner of a Twitter handle Keystone_Pundit.

Consider this public notice that I have NOTHING to do with that Twitter account.

Unfortunately one of the many people aggrieved by the real troll who owned the Keystone_Pundit Twitter account - has taken it upon herself to wage a campaign of slander against me, assuming that I am that person.   Also, a friend of the aggrieved party has also been sending anonymous emails to my business interest inboxes with the same unfounded accusation.

From what I can gather the vile comments that were made by Keystone_Pundit - he/she is deserving of being exposed as a troll.  However, I have absolutely NOTHING to do with this Twitter account.

The hardship that this campaign has caused me has already proven very costly.  I have been forced to spend valuable time, money and resources trying to defend against something that I did not do - against a person and people who have no evidence to link me to this offensive twitter account.

I am currently evaluating all of my options regarding the damage that has already been caused to my reputation and it's effect on my many business interests, as well as charities that I serve.Early next week (2/27/17)  I will be meeting with counsel and with fellow board members of an organization I serve to discuss next steps because now they have also been brought into this campaign of slander and they must also determine how to respond as well.

At this point - I would humbly ask that those who are responsible for this campaign to please cease and desist from this campaign of character assassination.

Those involved in this campaign know how to contact me based on their research - I invite them to please do so. I would appreciate being given the courtesy of a conversation.  Since I have nothing in common with the actual Troll who caused this mess - you can rest assured that the conversation with me will be respectful and civil from my end.

Respectfully

Brad


Update Monday 2/27/2017

Here are some of the Tweets that have been exposed to thousands of followers.  These have been quite effective in generating exposure and feedback to the organizations I am associated with. My Linkedin profile views are up over 650% as a result of this campaign.

..and as people see this - they pile-on as well




 As far as I can tell - no one of this persons friends on social media has  asked this person how she KNOWS that the Twitter Troll Keystone_Pundit is me - no one.

A friend of mine took it upon himself to suggest to this person ( via Twitter ) that she is incorrect in assuming that I am the Twitter Troll and the logic of the response is very odd - especially given all of the activity noted above. 



So - a person goes on Social Media and accuses someone of being a Troll - based upon the fact that he happens to have a personal and inactive blog by a similar name and then claims that his knowledge of the attack proves yet again that he is guilty?   When she sent the email to the College I am affiliated with ( see Tweet confirming this above) - would that not have made me aware ?

Another clue would be this email that was sent to my company inbox. This email is what alerted me to this issue. When I tried to respond to this email it bounced because the account has been deactivated.

Subject: Brad Morgan = @keystone_pundit?

 
I tried to leave this comment on your website, but it doesn't appear to have taken. If it did, please forgive the redundancy.  

I believe that Brad Morgan, your CEO, uses the Twitter handle "@keystone_pundit." I could be mistaken, but someone did some fairly thorough research to come to this conclusion. Feel free to fact check.  

What is certain is that @keystone_pundit has been spewing hateful and violent comments on Twitter, including a quite lovely "@RCErler @violetconflict @JulieDiCaro I'd love to bend you over while wearing my #MAGA hat, feisty hockey mom." He has since deleted that specific tweet, with a note "@RCErler I decided to delete the "bend you over" tweet as you're married and it was not very classy. You're welcome."  

Yes, because we should thank a jack-ass like this for taking back a threat of rape over a comment on someone else's post. No comment of any sort should result in a reply like this--threatening rape, even in the cyber-world, demonstrates his underlying opinion of women and his need to resort to physical dominance and violence, even conceptually!, when he doesn't agree with an opinion (or is threatened by a differing opinion, or an opinion asserted by a woman???).  

And it's because she's married that it was "not very classy." Yup. If she were 23 and single it would have been completely acceptable.
 
By the way--those two tweets only scratched the surface of his awfulness. 

No, I'm not RCErler. I am a woman who witnessed this and is horrified by this type of aggressive misogynistic attitude being displayed on a daily basis by tens of thousands of self-righteous men like @keystone_pundit. If I worked for slime like this, I'd want to know. 

If this is not your boss--and I leave open the possibility that it's not, but have enough reason to believe that it is or I wouldn't be sending this--I apologize for the disruption to your day. 

If it is, I highly encourage you to get away from him and/or to report him to the authorities if any of his real-life behavior mimics his tweets. What if you say something that he is threatened by? And even if he wouldn't act on this in real-life, it's clearly exposing some part of him. Is that something/someone you want to work for? Maybe he'll be horrified to be exposed like this. I guess that would be a bit better, but the underlying attitude is still there. Even if he asserts that the tweets don't reflect him, he still felt okay (empowered?) putting them out there for the world to see. 

For the record, I have NEVER left a comment to a company without leaving my name and contact info. I don't generally believe in hiding behind anonymity--if I have something to say, I stand behind it. But given the threats @keystone_pundit made against @RCErler and others, I am remaining anonymous. 

I wish you the best.
