We all have fallen victim of others' actions or unfortunate situations. When we stand up to those who we consider have "harmed" us in any way and speak out, that is when we stop being "victims."
When I started writing this blog in 2013, my intention was to give my side of the story of what happened with a lawsuit in which I was involved. I will not be writing anything about it specifically, as that case is resolved and I have promised I would not discuss it publicly again.
This post is dedicated to Andrea Dolbec, a "writer" mentioned in one of the posts of this blog. Please read Deceit. I have been told by her and her "friend" who at first I thought was an attorney, that if I do not remove her name from the post, Andrea will publicly give her side of the story.
On July 8, 2020, I received an email from Peter A. Smithson.
I did not respond. On July 10, 2020, I received a second email from the same person who I later learned is NOT an attorney.
I replied to this second email offering to take her name off the post if she refunded the money she took, OR if she apologized for her deceitful behavior.
Andrea Dolbec could have simply apologized and her name could have been removed -- no monetary exchange. However, apparently she feels she has been "victimized" and believes my post is "libelous."
Today, August 28, 2020, I received another email from her non-attorney friend.
Basically, they are threatening to make her side of the story public. She considers herself a VICTIM of my "libelous" post. It is not surprising that she chooses to "defend" herself by slandering me in the process.
Just a couple of hours ago, I received a long email from Andrea Dolbec. The truth is that I did not read the whole thing. It goes on and on and on. The spacing and font size change arbitrarily throughout the email making it laborious to read.
What I understood is that she claims to be so generous for not disclosing all the "dirty" details about my "pitiful" life experiences and how I need to "buy" friendships, how I need serious therapy and how I treated her as a "slave." She even hints at having more private information about me that she would be making public. She believes it would hurt me.
She claims that she won the case and that the judge said she could get more money from me. Her claims are actually laughable. She seems to forget that her case against me was DISMISSED. Proof of the dismissal can be easily obtained by requesting official court documents. She is such a big liar or has some serious memory issues. Well, I will give her that -- memory issues. This happened a long time go. I believe I have an advantage over her since my memory was fresh when I wrote the original post 7 years ago.
I honestly do not care what her opinion of me is. She is entitled to believe whatever she wants. I will not even refute her outrageous allegations and opinions. Not because they are true, but because they don't deserve any additional time or consideration. What I will say is that she is NOT a legitimate writer. I don't believe she has written anything that would justify financial compensation. It is just my opinion and belief.
I had shared the email she sent to me when I originally wrote this post. However, per my arbitration settlement agreement, I am not to publish anything that mentions V.A. or the case in which we were involved. Therefore, I have removed the screenshots.

Update August 30, 2020 - I received another email from Andrea Dolbec today thanking me for posting her generous and compassionate "peace offering" on line. She also informed me that Peter Smithson is NOT an attorney. She accuses me of twisting facts for believing her friend is an attorney. Why would I believe the contrary? He clearly stated "MY CLIENT." So what type of client is she to him? Who is twisting facts here? She claims Peter is a "manager." It is not the role of a manager to write demand letters or to threaten with any type of "action." I talked to a REAL attorney and he confirmed that this "manager" became a participant in the threats and harassment when he sent those emails to me.
Below is the last email I sent to Andrea Dolbec and her friend Peter. I cc'ed my friend Vivian so she can act as a witness. Hopefully I will no longer be harassed, threatened and blackmailed by these two people.
I hope Andrea has a legitimate job now that pays enough to cover her rent. I also hope she gets some psychological counseling, stops being a victim and finds peace in her life.
The world is experiencing such challenging times with the extreme measures to contain COVID, the collapse of global economies and increased violence. Whatever happened seven years ago with Andrea Dolbec should be left where it belongs, in the past. PEACE.
