A sends:
The following post has been deleted from my blog (www.slugsite.com) after much pressure on my webhost by Dean Scheu's cartooney, who seems to think you and I and cast of dozens are conspiring with some couple somewhere involved with Scheu in a custody battle. That was news to me; I could have sworn I was just connecting the dots on an interesting coincidence, but apparently Scheu sits at God's right-hand side, and I've been seduced by Satan to blacken the Chosen One's good name, et cetera, et cetera. News to me!
Evidently Messr. Lusitania, Esquire is determined to scrub every mention of his client from the interweb. Good luck dealing with the little weasel...

There's a nice and clueless cart00ney over at Cryptome this morning; it seems one Dean Scheu, an insecure mid-level executive at Charter Media was egosurfing the almighty Google and was sufficiently upset at his name appearing on a page with the words "psycopathic killers" in its title that he sent in the $100/hour attack bankruptcy lawyer to protect his "good name"... and sent him after me when I wrote about the Cryptome threat.
Dean, Dean, Dean, you silly, insecure, humorless, well-adjusted life-saver, shame on us for supposing media executives cared about free speech, eh?
Aside from Mr. Scheu's apparent unfamiliarity with all things internet, there's some highly interesting irony to Dean Scheu's baseless legal threats; it seems his not-terribly-common name (entirely coincidentally, one must assume) is often connected with a suspicious death -- that of a nineteen-year-old actress named Leigh Zurmuhlen, who died under quite interesting circumstances in New York in 1995. Doth the media mogul protest too much, one wonders? Might Mr. Scheu be a little hypersensitive to such mentions? It's not like I'm making this up; go read yourself about Ms. Zurmuhlen and "television producer... Dean Scheu, who slipped away from the hotel two days before her corpse was discovered."
A second piece of irony is the statement in the cartooney that the connection between the name Dean Scheu and the words "Psychopathic Killer" in Google are "damaging to [his] reputation in the workplace." Go search on "Dean Scheu" in Google; right now, the first site returned is about a filing for personal bankruptcy... I sincerely hope that Dean Scheu's lawyer got paid in advance for his cartooney -- or that it's a different Dean Scheu. (Then again, the West Legal Directory says attorney Walter R. Luostari practices, and evidently specializes in, bankruptcy law.)
Does attorney Luostari protest too much? In the quite threatening and somewhat illiterate "Demand Letter" sent me yesterday, he says:
The information contained on the site bares [sic] no truth or relevance to my client (Dean Scheu). When publishing and connecting a real person to a purported killing and/or murder raises various serious Federal statute violations (even in jest). [sic]
So, humorless threats from humorless people aside - a television executive
named Dean Scheu - whether it's Dean Scheu of Charter Media (a television
conglomerate) or not, I am not in a position to say - seems to be connected
in a fairly real way - to the death of a woman eleven years ago. I
say this not in jest, but as a fact. Whether the Dean Scheu who behaves
in a hypersensitive and somewhat irrational fashion about the merest connection
with the words "psychopathic killers" is the same individual mentioned in
the linked story above, I don't know.
So, there you go, Dean Scheu and Walter R. Luostari, Esquire.
I hope you're happy, now.
