as a blogger, you do not actually have to engage with people who give people pause, just as is the case with every other human on the planet. but hey, by all means be contrary and harass me.

I am so not in the mood this week. Today it started with the above comment. The person was simply removed from my blog’s Facebook page. No muss no muss, nope not with this guy and it is quite curious as to why he is reaching out to me at all. Next came the comment on this website:

For those of you whom have a hard time reading screenshots, this is verbatim:

I understand that you are a “blogger” and control your blog and your facebook page as being “privately” managed but for public dissemination of information. I also support your right to restrict, block, ban and delete comments at your option. I was merely trying to respectfully engage with you regarding your public statements on your facebook page regarding Octorara School District, myself and Officer Falgiatore. For whatever reason you chose to avoid a public discussion. Again, I don’t have an issue other than attempt to be reasonable with you here. I am unable to DM you. I publicly stated that I no longer own the website http://www.culturalcontrarian.org. I also stated that I don’t believe you acquired that domain either. I would love an opportunity to converse with you about your previous posts and what information you might be able to share with law enforcement. If you are not interested in speaking about the case publicly, that is totally fine. It’s your page and your comments and posts are a public record and I’m sure that you stand behind all of those.

Ryan Miller (www.culturalconrarianpma.org) by the way I am the Copyright Owner of © Cultural Contrarian.

Let’s be clear: there are no “conversations” with this guy if you have followed this drama of his creation over the past couple of years. It started when this guy showed up at an Octorara School Board Meeting with some sort of weapon, right? He also has a relationship with a school board member who is with East Whiteland Police Department as a Sergeant (not an officer, hey get the rank correct, right?)

I have written about Miller TWICE here on this website (2023):

octorara and east whiteland are not generally two places you find in a sentence together…yet here we are….sadly

So that’s it. A few times maybe on the blog’s Facebook page but it was in the news, on YouTube, etc. I was never breaking new ground or having any aha moments. It was already out there. I mentioned in May that he let his website lapse and someone took it over. This is his old website: https://www.culturalcontrarian.org/ – it has new content but it’s still about this whole Octorara barrel, not can, of worms.

So one would think with a rational human being, that would be the end of it. But no, not this guy, he pops up a little website to literally doxx and harass me. And he throws in the name of a police officer in East Pikeland for that matter.

STOP

So yeah, just your average Thursday, right?

I wondered what prompted his contact, and I wondered was it simply media won’t talk to him, so bug a blogger? Or was it his Checo Court of Common Pleas cast which has pre-trial in September? Here is that docket:

docket 92524Download

Now his Federal case was tossed in the spring:

https://casetext.com/case/miller-v-nelling

Everything about this whole bizarro world enchilada has been on social media, You Tube, some newspapers, court dockets etc. for two years or so. I followed it to a point, but not particularly intensely. I don’t know what his end game is, but I will not be harassed and doxxed because I don’t want to speak with him. I am also not hiding from this and what he is trying to now do to me because it’s wrong. He’s wrong and I can have that opinion. He will have his day in court, it has nothing to do with me. Mr. Miller also has other to reach out to, but he has decided I am a new target?

I am not playing this game. Below is just some of the stuff out there in the public domain about this. I still do not get why people think they can bring any kind of weapon to a school board meeting, let alone a school boar meeting way the hell out of their district.

One thing about being a blogger, it can be interesting. Sometimes you do actually have to file police reports, sadly.

Thanks for stopping by.

Octorara School Board Lawsuit: A Legal Update and Superintendent’s Debut

when politics gives me pause

Posted on by

Octorara School District. It’s way out there in Chester County. And something I am struggling with is one of the candidates there and it’s not because of them per se or that I know them personally as I do not, it’s because of what their day job is and I don’t see how you can be a politician and a police officer.

And truthfully, I never would’ve paid attention, except their candidates page seems to be using the day job as a marketing tool for the political campaign, and I’m just not sure how that sits with me.

I’ve had family in law-enforcement over the years. I’ve had many friends in law-enforcement. Many of them had businesses on the side and side gigs but none of those side gigs involved being an elected official and a school board member is an elected official. A school board member is a politician.

And this one seems tied up with that contrarian person and their litigation if not formerly but by association? And then it seems like somebody sending weird letters to the contrarian person and I guess the police/ school board guy and why would somebody do that? That is WRONG no matter what you think of their politics. Doesn’t whomever get those things are always found out? And then you wonder, is it a political tactic that those letters are happening or is it somebody really doing something bad? Either way, it’s horrible and it’s wrong. These people have families.

I guess what I’m also asking is this anonymous letter thing is psycho by design? I’ve actually been the victim of things like this in the past and I remember when the postal inspectors came to pick up the questionable mail back then. What was sent to me went through all sorts of tests at I believe, a federal lab. It was no joke. These things are taken quite seriously and investigated thoroughly.

I am not now, and never have been anti-police, but it gives me pause in this situation when I stop to wonder how does their belief system affect their work potentially? I’m sorry if anyone thinks I think too much, but how do you not think about this?

I just don’t see how you can be both a politician and an officer of the law. I just don’t. I would also note what else gives me pause is this is someone who is also endorsed by Klanned Karenhood.

Anyone endorsed by that Stepford Wives for Totalitarianism you have to look twice at no matter what your politics are because the only way we’re going to get anything done in this area, in this county, in this country, in our individual municipalities and school districts is if we find a way to meet in the middle and those people aren’t about meeting in the middle. And the largest objection I have for them is they are based out of Florida they are NOT a group that is from Pennsylvania, these are people from outside our state, wanting to mess with where we call home and I think that’s wrong. They are an extremism group by their very nature aren’t they?

So there now to all of these candidates who wonder why I have such a problem with these endorsements understand why, even though they should be intelligent enough to already know why.

Anyway, if anyone has thoughts on the topic, I’d be willing to hear them. If anyone attacks me for posting this, I will file a police report.

I am asking legitimate questions I am not slamming anyone. But at the end of the day my feeling remains the same: police officer by day, and politician by night doesn’t work. Also, how do we know night job doesn’t bleed into day job?

Sign me pondering. Thanks for stopping by.
