I also appreciate the emails from website wizards that assisted me this summer. I had no idea that the likes of the cogosphere thought I was trying to draw attention to a blog. I thought it would be months before I got this up and running.
Basically, I am online making a complaint against my former attorney. Here, why don't you nosy bastards read my materials for yourselves!

Dear Mr. Segadelli,
Thank you for representing my interests in the matter of the charge of criminal harassment against me filed in the Barnstable District Court in regard to The Barnstable Police Department . You may be aware that I assisted Ms. Taryn Thoman during the effort to recall President Janet Swain Joakim from office. I also collected signatures for the Open Meeting of the Voters held in Hyannis last spring at her request. Ms. Thoman requested my assistance developing a legitimate lobby and political action committee last January. We were introduced through a mutual acquaintance, Lou Gonzaga of Hyannis. Mr. Gonzaga is currently serving as an official constable here in Barnstable and has long been involved in municipal politics.
When Taryn Thoman was charged with criminal harassment, I recommended that she consider retaining your counsel. Ms. Thoman is responsible for developing obscene graphics of President Janet Swain Joakim and forwarding them from her computer terminal to a number of websites. In addition, Ms. Thoman assisted me in the development of my website, www.barnstablesafetynetwork.com. Taryn Thoman knew my passwords and personal data and ran my website on her server and off her website, taryn@tarynsmirror.com. Thoman continues to blame me for harassing a number of parties and continually posts scurrilous comments about me on local blog sites. Please review her current blog postings on local political websites. Clearly you can see from Thoman’s comments that she intends to post controversial and threatening materials in regard to me on her newly constructed website, www.barnstable411.typepad.com .
Please be aware that Ms. Thoman has publicly blamed me for developing the disturbing graphics of President Janet Swain Joakim. Ms. Thoman is aware that I was photographing Councilor Greg Milne at the All-America City Parade under her direction and working at 4pm at the Kennedy Gallery on Main Street subsequent to the parade. My employer and co-workers were present and in my company throughout the day. Ms. Thoman stated that she was at a barbecue at the home of Mr. Tony Pelletier of the Hyannis Civic Association and has alleged that I am at fault for continued harassment of Janet Joakim and her neighbors on Mountain Ash Road.
Tony Pelletier denied that Taryn Thoman was invited to his home on the Fourth of July. It is on the fourth that these graphics were developed and emailed to my website. Ms. Thoman has a history of mailing related obscene graphics to members of Barnstable’s blogosphere. Ms. Thoman’s neighbors, Christine and Ron Howell confirm that Taryn Thoman and her sister Therese Marinelli were home all day on the fourth of July.
You defended me in a criminal harassment charge. Your current client, Taryn Thoman is a former associate of mine. Thoman is blaming me for her actions of criminal harassment. You should be aware that there is ongoing convolution of these matters with local and federal law enforcement. Please consider the blog postings placed on an Internet site by your client. Clearly, Ms. Thoman is suggesting that she has information in regard to my court case and is suggesting that she may post such items on a website. I have contacted the Massachusetts Bar Association and filed a complaint. I am unsure as to whether our conversations and matters were covered by attorney client privilege. It seems that Ms. Thoman is suggesting that you have not maintained an agreement of confidentiality and is threatening to post matters on her website.
Is there not a conflict of interest? I have forwarded these documents to Justice William O’Neill of the Barnstable District Court.
Sincerely,
Mary Clements
Cc. Justice William O’Neill

Dear Mr. Segadelli
Materials pertinent to the investigation of Taryn Thoman have been forwarded to local law enforcement and federal authorities. I have forwarded a number of documents to the families involved in the matter now before Barnstable District Court in regard to Ms. Thoman. Ms. Thoman was aware that I retained your counsel for the matter of criminal harassment and I suggested that she attempt to secure your counsel in this matter several months prior to the charge.
I worked with Ms. Taryn Thoman on matters pertaining to the recall of President Janet Swain Joakim. Ms. Thoman assisted me in the development of my website, www.barnstablesafetynetwork.com. Ms. Thoman also provided me with minimal assistance in the setting up of an email account. Taryn Thoman read my email, collapsed my website, and blamed me for developing obscene graphics of the sitting town council president. Ms. Thoman threatened me and my family physically, and suggested that she would accuse me of harming her child, Aidan Wilcox. Thoman stated that I would be placed permanently in a home for the mentally ill and she would be subsequently able to sue my family for their assets.
I have continued to forward matters pertaining to public safety to attorneys and others with interests in public safety in Hyannis and Barnstable. This includes Mr. Peter Manso and Mr. Christopher H. Worthington. I reminded Ms. Thoman during our six month working relationship intended to remove Joakim from office that matters pertaining to the ongoing compromise in public safety had precedence over the recall of Joakim. Ms. Thoman never understood the convolution of such matters with her actions and jeopardized not only my safety and well-being, but compromised an ongoing criminal investigation in regard to impropriety with multiple departments. I advised her that my telephone line may be tapped and that our conversations were not secure. Ms. Thoman threatened to hire convicted felons to break into the Joakim home on said non-secure telephone line and materials confirming this were forwarded to Joakim.
Although my case in Barnstable District Court has been long closed, materials pertinent to an ongoing investigation have been forwarded to federal authorities. I declined to speak with local law enforcement per an agreement with Judge Joseph Reardon. Because of the stipulation made my Judge Reardon, I have instead forwarded any and all materials including the offensive actions of Taryn Thoman to appropriate authorities. I was contacted in regard to this case by Detective Mark Delaney. Your client, Taryn Thoman harassed me over the Internet referring to me as “crazypants”. I have been identified as a material witness in an ongoing federal investigation. Ms. Thoman’s behavior and actions may have compromised me and henceforth obstructed justice in said ongoing investigation. As you know, you were a witness to the dismissal of an Assistant District Attorney before Judge Donald Carpenter. I continue to forward all materials to the Office of the Attorney General and associated federal agents.
Your decision to represent Ms. Taryn Thoman may constitute a conflict of interest.
Sincerely,
Mary Clements

Dear Mr. Still,
There are significant developments and complications in regard to the current recall effort designed to remove President Janet Joakim from office. You may be aware that a number of attorneys with interests in public safety are examining the convolution of human services with law enforcement. I have been advised that the information forwarded to multiple parties has proved to be credible. In addition, I have been asked to remain in Barnstable in regard to an ongoing matter.
Parties with interests are utilizing conventional means to record impropriety in Barnstable. This includes monitoring all communication including Internet and telephone. Unfortunately, recall initiator assistant Taryn Thoman has engaged in gross illegality that included suggestions of “breaking in” to President Joakim’s home and removing her computer system. Thoman was attempting to confirm the identity of the author of www.barnstablebeatblog.com. Ms. Thoman stated that this would be easy to do as she does not have the “surveillance cameras” that “she does”. She suggested that it would be easy to hire “a couple of thugs” to cheaply break in through a window of Joakim’s home at 206 Donegal Circle. As far as I know, this exchange was recorded. Ms. Thoman abruptly terminated this telephone conversation when I became extremely upset. I emailed her later that day and printed and maintain a copy of the correspondence. Thoman emailed me in return and I saved her written response. I am sure that you now understand the urgency by which I was trying to establish the identity of “TJ”. Taryn Thoman suggested that you confirmed that you graduated from Barnstable High School with TJ, and that he was your age. Thoman has contacted the school library and has asked to see the photographs of your graduating class. She states that you are forty-one years of age and graduated in 1985. She also suggested that I go in and research this matter. She stated that she would make arrangements.
I noted that Thoman was leaving my name to postings one day from a public computer terminal that she suggested that we use to protect anonymity. I discovered that she registered several sites to my name. She was harassing Janet Joakim and Christine Howell. She insisted on setting up my domain name for www.barnstablesafetynetwork.com and kept all of my passwords, private information, and credit card numbers handy. She insisted on obtaining my social security number and stated that she would be also confirm it to set up my website. Much of the start of my website was done from the Centerville Library.
Ms. Thoman set up my email accounts and retained the passwords. She insisted on asking me each time I changed my password to let me work on my site. She was reading my email and posting onto the site.
On Sunday night, I noted that the passwords kept changing on my email site. My sister logged onto my blog and discovered that the blog had moved to a “registered viewer only” site. She changed the information on my email account so that I cannot access my email. She had previously floated disturbing and obscene graphics onto my site and stated that I should post them. She claimed Seth Rolbein of the Cape Cod Voice emailed them to her site and that they were being floated around as a joke. Thoman suggested that Rolbein stole her satire ideas for the O’Keefe graphic after the outstanding job she had done on the Osama Bin Laden graphic. I contacted the Cybercrimes Unit of the Attorney General’s Office and reported the offensive graphics to Trooper Corey Daelhstadt. I also forwarded them to Chief Paul MacDonald and gave him the contact number for Ruth Weil’s Office.
Arlene Crosby reviewed them with me and expressed how disturbing they were to her. My younger sister viewed them and stated that Thoman must be sick. She transferred them onto my family’s desktop and they have been forwarded to my attorney. President Janet Joakim was warned that disturbing graphics were being floated around the Internet. Thoman suggested that I use this to gain support for Joakim’s inability to negotiate and reneging on her promise to meet with me to discuss topics maturely. Much of the scurrilous libel of me was precipitated by Joakim.
Ms. Taryn Thoman had me collect the majority of the signatures for both “Open Meeting” and the recall effort. At times, she was extremely aggressive and did shove the clipboard in the face of an elderly lady and left and went to the car. Her daughter had “power of attorney” and happened to call as we were at the door. The lady forgot about the clipboard and finally signed stating she was blind. I suggested to Thoman that we remove this signature. She refused.
Ms. Thoman was shaking and intimidated by you at one point as you had accused her of harassing Joakim. I assumed as much fault and blame as possible as Thoman kept claiming that her child was harmed by these events. I recall writing to you and claiming responsibility for Thoman’s actions.
I told Trooper Daehlstadt of the Attorney General’ Office that I would not turn on Thoman as she is obviously a distressed mother. I reviewed the comments posted on www.sevenvillagesblog.com last February and saved President Joakim’s site on removable hardware before she was told to sanitize it. I saved and printed my own website and have made multiple copies of the site.
Taryn Thoman completely collapsed my website on Monday morning without my permission or knowledge. I have contacted Cybercrimes Unit of the Attorney General’s Office and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
Mary Clements

Gee, Christine, I sure do know how to fire these people up! Looks like there was a complete blogwar on cclbs yesterday and Lopez knows enough to shut down comments. Evidently Lopez and Thoman have had a falling out. The comments posted by Thoman should be sufficient to prove that there is a conflict of interest in regard to her attorney representing her in the matter you have before the courts. You can thank your new ally, Elizabeth Allen, for this. Materials are now on the way to the judge. I don't mean to delay the trial, but Segadelli cannot represent her if he already represented the defendant that she is accusing.
This will really put a dent in her day, and Segadelli gets paid to know better.
This one must have gotten past them because I can hardly follow this stuff myself. Elizabeth has to be somebody who knows you or has a child in school with you because I don't have the first clue what it's about. All I know is that there are a ton of deleted comments, and I thought it was you guys. All I know is that my name appeared on their website and someone gave me a quick call. What a bunch of idiots!
