I was forwarded this email from a
convicted dope-dealer-turned-Jesus-freak named Mathew.
Apparently he's learned a thing or two about shaking down
honest, fair-minded companies from Reverend Jesse
Hi-Jackson. Matthew is a self-proclaimed Minister
of Christ from The Cannabis Friendly Church
who believes that reality is a charade perpetrated by a
cabal of evil demons who are turning the world into Hell!
Hoo-boy... There must be GREAT dope coming out of Kona
lately....

My friend is overweight and he told me you do not allow
anyone overweight to come work out at your gym, or anyone of
color either; is this true!??!
email: matthewXX@XXXXX.com
name: Rev. Matthew
phone: 303-388-8402
BTW: Don't try the phone, it's
disconnected! Or as the humble Minister says, "I have VOIP
that only costs 2 cents a minute" and like Christ he
needs a low-cost phone plan that only makes outgoing calls!
WPPWJU? - What Phone Plan Would Jesus Use?
A subsequent pronouncement by
the Pot Padre - from an email titled "Subject: ANTI-GYM
prejudice file." - reads in part, "This is a serious
complaint... this could be the golden ticket I've been
looking for... if you're innocent you have nothing to fear,
right?... "
I responded to his crass shakedown
crap with this:
From:
marquand@nochubbies.com
Matthew,
My name is Marquand Dufey, an associate of Mr.
Karolchyk.
Your request for information was forwarded to me along
with a number of other emails that either had
non-functioning return addresses or disconnected telephone
numbers.
If you did not send the following message: "My friend
is overweight and he
told me you do not allow anyone overweight to come work out
at your gym, or
anyone of color either; is this true!??!," please excuse the
rest of this
email, as someone MAY be posing as you and harassing the
AntiGym with denial of service tactics and spurious
hate-emails.
If, however, you did send this message, you should
question your "friend" carefully regarding his allegations
which are serious and may be actionable. The AntiGym is an
Equal Opportunity employer and welcomes ALL people
(employees AND clients) regardless of race, creed, gender or
SIZE. The AntiGym is particularly dedicated to helping
overweight, obese and morbidly obese individuals regain
control and health through vigorous exercise and
scientifically sensible diet.
If your friend lies, you may want to re-consider
his/her friendship. If your
friend is mistaken; you may want to re-consider his/her
counsel. If your friend
is confused, you may want to take the bong away until he/she
is straight enough
to tell the difference between a lie, a mistake or being
`faced.
In trying to assert whether your email was valid or
not, I visited
http://www.hishousemedia.com/ and saw that you are
indeed a Cannabis-friendly
Reverend. The AntiGym - and especially Mr. Karolchyk - is
outspoken in his
support for cannabis use as evidenced in Last month's
feature article in 5280
magazine and last week's front cover article in WestWord. I
suggest you read
these articles and Google search "Karolchyk + AntiGym"
Aside from having "people of color" as clients and
employees, Mr. Karolchyk's email signature block contains a
Malcolm X quote which I also suggest you read and digest.
Given your fearless ONLINE activism, you may benefit from
the inspiration of REAL WORLD activists, their bravery and
commitment to change. As far as I know, no-one has ever been
attacked by a keyboard, so enjoy the relative safety of
sitting at your computer and spewing venom through a modem.
http://www.iamm.com/links/missions.htm lists you as the
contact for the Cannabis Friendly Church. Surely Mr.
Karolchyk - having openly identified himself as a target for
anti-marijuana legislators and law enforcement officials -
should be respected (sainted?) for his activism and zeal.
(I noticed that the organization listed below yours was the
"Church of the Gerbil." Please note that the AntiGym, Mr.
Karolchyk and I do NOT support, endorse or recommend "carnal
pleasures" that involve gerbils, woodchucks or other
burrowing and/or arboreal rodents.)
Your "Google Group Post" at:
http://groups.google.com/group/warmerica is odd in that
as a so-called "Man of Peace" you are calling for armed
insurrection, e.g, "If you do not comply immediately,
starting a serious program to phase out the Federal Reserve/
IRS Money laundering racket and getting our currency back
onto the precious metal standard required by our highest
law, the constitution, then We the People will bear arms
and we will take Washington by force and run it
ourselves. We have the internet, we can poll ourselves, we
can regulate our own medicines and grow them for profit in
our yards as the founders did."
Such a threat would undoubtedly be of interest to the
Secret Service and the Office of Homeland Security. You may
want to tone it down a bit.
I also found it interesting that
despite being laden with numerous conspiracy
theory links, your home page also points site visitors to
The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance - a clearinghouse
for government aid and grants.
My advice would be, "Take care not to bite the teat
you're sucking on."
If you have any other questions or unfounded
accusations, please contact me
directly.
Yours in Truth,
Marquand Dufey
Expeditor, AntiGym
marquand@nochubbies.com
BTW: One "?" will do nicely next time you make an
accusation. "!??!" is an emoticon that represents a woman
with BODACIOUS titties.
