But how can they be cleaned if they are either in on the conspiracy (high rank) or useful (loyal) idiots (low rank)? Their loyalty (blood oath) is to the order, not to the flag, correct? Consequences for being a whistle blower - 187?

I wonder how the blue lodge members feel about their symbolism being attached to nefarious acts? Are they even aware?

 

It's like Catholics - the congregation consists of Christians, but the Vatican is child-raping satanic cesspool. How to reconcile?

UNREPORTED

IN THE COURT OF SPECIAL APPEALS

OF MARYLAND

No. 2281

September Term, 2013

JARROD W. RAMOS

v.

ERIC THOMAS HARTLEY, et al.

Wright,

Graeff,

Moylan, Charles E., Jr.

(Retired, Specially Assigned),

JJ.

Opinion by Moylan, J.

Filed: September 17, 2015

*This is an unreported opinion, and it may not be cited in any paper, brief, motion, or other

document filed in this Court or any other Maryland Court as either precedent within the rule of stare

decisis or as persuasive authority. Md. Rule 1-104.

โ€” Unreported Opinion โ€”

The appellant of this pro se appeal is Jarrod W. Ramos. The appellees are 1) Eric

Thomas Hartley, formerly a staff writer and columnist with The Capital; 2) Thomas L.

Marquardt, the editor and publisher of The Capital; and 3) Capital Gazette Communications,

LLC.

The factual background to the defamation action is that on July 26, 2011, the

appellant entered a guilty plea on a charge of criminal harassment in the District Court of

Maryland sitting in Anne Arundel County. Judge Jonas D. Legum initially imposed a 90-day

jail sentence but then suspended the sentence and placed the appellant on supervised

probation for a period of 18 months with the additional requirement that the appellant

continue with his ongoing therapy and that he refrain from any further contact with the

harassment victim or her family.

Five days later, on July 31, 2011, the article in issue by staff writer Eric Thomas

Hartley appeared in the Sunday issue of The Capital under the heading "Anne Arundel

Report." The article was entitled, "Jarrod wants to be your friend." The article, in its entirety,

read:

"If you're on Facebook, you've probably gotten a friend request or message

from an old high school classmate you didn't quite remember.

"For one woman, that experience turned into a yearlong nightmare.

"Out of the blue, Jarrod Ramos wrote and thanked her for being the only

person ever to say hello or be nice to him in school.

"She didn't remember him, so he sent pictures. She Googled him, found a

yearbook picture and realized they apparently did go to Arundel High

together.

โ€” Unreported Opinion โ€”

"He was having some problems, so she wrote back and tried to help,

suggesting a counseling center.

"'I just thought I was being friendly,' she said.

"That sparked months of emails in which Ramos alternately asked for help,

called her vulgar names and told her to kill herself. He emailed her company

and tried to get her fired.

"She stopped writing back and told him to stop, but he continued. When she

blocked him from seeing her Facebook page, he found things she wrote on

other people's pages and taunted her with it, attaching screenshots of the

postings to some of his emails.

"She called police, and for months he stopped. But then he started again,

nastier than ever.

"All this without having seen her in person since high school. They never met

until they came to court a couple of months ago.

"Last week, Ramos, a 31-year-old federal employee, pleaded guilty in District

Court to a misdemeanor harassment charge.

"Judge Jonas Legum, who called his behavior 'rather bizarre,' suspended a 90-

day jail sentence and placed him on probation, ordering him to continue in

therapy and not contact the victim or her family in any way.

"The case is extreme. But it provides a frightening look at the false intimacy

the Internet can offer and the venom that can hide behind a computer screen.

"'I read about this all the time, where Facebook conversations, email

conversations, start out fine and then take a turn where they become nastier

over the course of time,' said Ramos' lawyer, Christopher Drewniak, 'And this

is apparently one of those situations.'

"The victim, who asked that her name not be printed, said she lived in fear for

her safety for months.
