Detente? Not so much.

As the deadline has now passed, an hour ago, I'll make a short statement to add perspective.

In this and the last blog post you can see that we almost came to an equitable settlement that would have ended Noel Bednaz' 14 year-long stalking of me. So what happened? She backpeddled, made excuses, and ultimately backed out of the deal she had previously agreed to.

To her credit, she was off to a good start. She had removed all the idiotic, mendacious blogs about me and was very close to fulfilling her obligations under the agreement. But then, at the 11th hour, she attempted to keep one blog up, and back out of the admission of guilt/apology, despite the fact that she had already agreed to delete that blog and write that public apology.

Am I surprised? No. I have never known Noel Bednaz to be truthful, or to keep her word.

Even during a lengthy conversation we had, she tried to play me. She claimed that many of the blogs were written by others, and that she might not be able to get them removed, or at least, not in a timely manner. Then she removed them all in a timely manner. She threatened to start a rumor that the two of us had some sort of online fling as a means to harm my marriage if I didn't accede to her demands. That one made me laugh out loud, as she made the threat in a public forum and I have a copy of the whole conversation. And when she backed out of the deal, all the blogs were restored within minutes. Apparently all those faceless, nameless people who write those blogs on her behalf (in her exact writing style, complete with information from many years ago and the same errors in grammar and syntax) were all watching the impromptu conversation, held on an obscure Facebook page, and acting in unison.

Or it was just Noel being Noel.

The good news, however, is she can no longer claim that I'm the stalker, or that she's not the stalker. She admitted to enough wrongdoing in that conversation (which I saved, of course) to remove all doubt as to who she is and what she has done. She also showed her true colors - quick to anger, unwilling or unable to keep her promises, blaming her actions on unnamed others, making demands after the deal was already agreed upon.

She had no credibility going in, and even less coming out. And she revealed her true (lack of) character.

She also admitted that the things I write here (ie, the truth) often anger and upset her. That's good, because you ain't seen nothing yet, cookie.

You could have ended your crimes against me and made this whole thing go away forever. You chose not to. And now, the gloves are off.

To Yael Bas Avroham: Thanks for trying.

I've just had a lengthy conversation with Noel Bednaz, and we've come to an agreement.

She's going to take down all of the things published on the internet about me and those close to me, including but not limited to blogs, Facebook pages, websites, and the like, and write one last blog post to set the record straight.

She also mentioned that not all of the blogs against me were written by her, and she has no access to those that weren't. She wants me to ask, on her behalf, that if you've written a blog against me, you delete it. You do not have to take my word for it. Ask her.

When that's done, and all the sites, blogs, pages etc. have been permanently removed, this site/blog, and the related sites (the mirror on Blogspot, the Facebook page...) will come down.

And that's it.



If she starts it up again, this site will be restored. If she doesn't, it won't. Simple as that.

We didn't set a time limit, but I expect this to happen as soon as possible. There's no point in prolonging it.
