More letters, threats and intimidation: author responds - by N.L. Belardes
Nick Belardes, again off the record. I never called anyone a
fruitpicker or a Chichano where did you get that, I made a metaphor regarding
marketplace decision making. I will be circulating this whole exchange
unless there is a full retraction and a backing off, i have already
contacted attorney Dickerson and Law and you will be hearing from them if
this matter is to continue, again please back off. Mine and my families
feelings are in jeopardy if you regard me as a Nazi General. I would
suggest an apology. Media conglomerates are both far and wide, as you know
Opinion is fine, i dont deny you your opinion
It is just that your taste is to be decried, and it has been noted
Again, we are monitoring the situation, Nick
Though my father is retired, he spent 21 years at the Bakersfield
Californian Newspaper
Nathaniel Berg
PS. I have plenty of lawyer allies if you want to waist your time.

Dear Supposed Nate Berg:
Backing off? I believe you’re the one who wrote to me first today. I am only writing in response to your letters. Since you don’t seem to get it: once again, per your previous agreement via email, no email from you is ever considered off the record and is publishable. If you would like, I can send that email back to you for your records... so, if you don't want your words published, then cease writing to me.
Off what record anyway? I'm not a journalist. I'm a blogger. I am not held by journalistic standards... I have no contract with the Californian that says what/how/what language I should use to write. In fact, I have in writing from the Californian that my content will not be managed...
And, for that matter, I am providing no further apologies, for I did not, nor ever would degrade your great grandfather... A Nazi general? I called you a Nazi general? Which Nazi general did I call you? I'm sure you are taking that out of context, whatever you are reading... Any Nazi word is in relation to the context of Jerry's Pizza personnel as alleged intimidators of downtown businesses with a baseball bat, which Nazi's were intimidators. While you're at it, why don't you go and sue Seinfeld for using the term, 'Soup Nazi'...
Give me a break. You ever read Chaim Potok's works? I have. He was a great Jewish writer. His books are ingenious works about tolerance...
With affection,
Nick Belardes
