If Steve has ACTUALLY read any of this web site------as opposed to "hearing about it from my wife" as he said on the phone a couple of weeks ago------then I challenge him to respond to this page.
Google "power of apology". The wealth of academic work on that is huge.
Liz McCusker has thought a lot of things about me, and has been continually proven wrong. She KNOWS she is wrong. But she just can't seem to admit it.
Let's think through a few of these:
1. And this one really IS Numero Uno.....she thought I wanted to "be with" [as she stated under oath] her husband.
But come on, Liz:
a) I sued your husband in Federal Court. I did not do this with the idea that it would endear me to him.
b) I encouraged him for well over a year to go back to you (this is a matter of record with the Court)
c) I loaned him money SPECIFICALLY so that you...YOU! ....could stay on Caitlin Road in your home. Not him, YOU.
It disgusts me that I did everything I could do to protect and help Liz. HER HUSBAND LEFT HER FOR ANOTHER WOMAN. But somehow I'm the bad guy here. I suppose she has to blame someone, and certainly she has proven that she cannot accept any blame herself.

The husband, Steve McCusker---he and I did like each other a lot, in a friendly fashion. Why ELSE would I have lent him tens of thousands of dollars?
Or a BETTER question------if I'm such a bad person, why would he have ASKED??????
During the PFH hearing before the now-disgraced Judge Moskowitz (a Maine judge now famous for not understanding the Constitution), I entered into Evidence an email in which I referred to my relationship with Steve McCusker as......well, "a relationship". Grammar-wise, that's what it is....a "relationship". He's a friend, and that's a relationship. People with whom I am an adversary------well, that's a "relationship" too. An adversarial one, but a "relationship" nonetheless.
Liz took that ball and ran with it. She took a pen and circled my word "relationship" in that email, put notes in the margins, and stated to the Court that the fact I had used that word meant that I had (or wanted) a relationship in the sexual way with her husband. She stated (in writing) that the fact I used the word "relationship" proves this! What a genius.

2. Liz insisted the Bankruptcy Judgment was for $24,000. She got angry at me during her deposition when I told her she was incorrrect.
The Judgment was for $60,000, which is a little more than 50 cents on the dollar for what Steve owed me. I did make him a sweet deal-----if he paid me $200/month for 10 years (interest free), I would FORGIVE the other $36,000.
This was obviously a very nice deal for the McCuskers. Did Liz ever thank me for that? No, she complained that they had to pay me anything at all. She also told me that I ought to simply "give [them] back" assets that I purchased from the Bankruptcy Trustee.
She then proceeded to create a facebook character for the sole purpose of making false statements about me.
Has she ever apologized for her actions? No.

3. Liz (and perhaps Steve) at one point asked for $5000 from me in order to settle MY lawsuit against THEM. In other words, they wanted me to drop the lawsuit, as well as pay them money.
If I did this, they would take down their vile and untrue statements off Facebook. This sounded like extortion.
All I wanted was a public apology-----an admission of wrongdoing that I could use in my business. I didn't want any money. But Liz couldn't bring herself to apologize for her wrongdoing, in spite of the fact that at that point she was very aware that what she had done was against the law.
4. Since at least 2012, I have been mentioning to Steve that I was willing to FORGIVE ALL THE AMOUNTS OWED TO ME. I don't know how many times I've said to him (including in writing), "You need to talk to me about this".
But he's said Liz will never apologize.
Liz somehow thinks she knows what I am thinking, and I can assure you she doesn't. She has never considered my point of view on what has transpired, and during her deposition said she was unwilling to ever do so!

I don't really understand what that means.
But it seems to me that even knowing that she did wrong, even knowing that she grievously hurt someone else, she feels above it all. I somehow hurt her so badly----by what, loaning money so she could stay in her home? By the mistake of still having friends from college? By encouraging her husband to try to make a go of his marriage to her?----that she cannot bring herself to see things from another person's perspective.
In my opinion people who aren't willing to do that are full of themselves.
