Yellow House,
I'm not sure who's advising you about posting in this forum, but I can't possibly imagine it would in any way, shape or form help your case. Your posts here don't particularly endear you to the public and seem to lack focus or intent.
While its expected that certain users here would degenerate the conversation into mindless babble, few (if any) are staring down losing their possessions and spending time in prison. From several of your comments here, its bizarre that you would continue to engage in this type of conversation and that you haven't been counseled to stop. Do your lawyers know that you continue to post aggressive, anti-establishment messages on this forum? Wanting to protect your family and yourself is one thing, but these actions seem self-destructive and wholly out of touch with your best interests.
So again, while I nor anyone here should second-guess sage advice from your attorneys, it seems to defy logic that you'd make an aggressive case in a (internet) forum that seems less functional, and more adversarial. If I were under the gun and was facing down both the end of my livelihood and spending time in a federal prison, I don't think I'd be acting so caviler and juvenile about it.
In pursuing your case and its various actions over the years, it would suggest that your actions on Larryville have no effect. Its probably time to grow up and treat this case with the seriousness it deserves, and forget the thought that posting these messages online will somehow benefit you.
Just being honest.

I certainly understand your opinion and reaction to yh's posting history, but i have found some of the posts and responses to reveal more than yh's side. Points have been made that reveal aspects of our local judicial culture that is more important than my or your feelings about yh (which are different), Its made me pay more attention to how our police interact and communicate with the community. They have become more and more insulated, the police, led by olin, are choosing which laws they enforce with very little interaction and exchange with the broader community feelings and priorities. Once a culture closes in on it self, rejecting feed back and exchange of ideas or criticism their vision becomes narrower and narrower. When I was at one meeting and observed how one discussion of how petty theft, robbery was handled. It was stated that there was no need of any discussion about that as the police had different priorities and the public had no idea of how things needed to be done.
I know of two cases that the police seemed biased by the social position of the victims and did not choose to investigate. One one case they made false statement that they did question and investigate. Then when it was proven that the police had not contacted any of the four witnesses, they said that was not how they investigated the case.
Self review of police policies and procedures is not a healthy or effective method. That is basically what we have now. For protection of the police department and the community there should be some sort of citizens review board with real power. While yh does seem to whine the comments that many of their complaints can not be investigated until the police have ended their investigation is alarming. It is like saying one can not remove the fledgling from the cat's mouth unless you can prove the cat has harmed the bird.
