Hi Michael,

With all due respect, if you really want to help Mike, don't you think you
could do it in a little better fashion? If not, don't you think it is pretty
low to cut him so badly the day after he returns home? I am friends with
both of you and wouldn't want either one of you talking like this.

Best Regards,
Greg

Jim, Gary, Eric and all,

        No, it is NOT a joke. There is nothing funny about
This situation at all.

        I stated NOTHING in my post Mike has is not born
Out in Mike's own public statements. (though Jim informs
Me it may have been a different prescription drug he gets
Out of Mexico) - hell folks, where have you been? READ THE
STINKING ARCHIVES.

        If you all really cared about Mike's welfare you would
Be trying to support him in getting professional help, get on
prescribed medication and get stabilized.

        You are all having knee jerk reactions. Think about it. If
Mike were your brother wouldn't you want to see him get
proper treatment?

        Mike is home safe - thank God. While he was in danger I
Did everything possible I could to minimize any negative impact
On him. The list started yammering about it and I pointed out we
Needed to remain silent lest we make matters worse for Mike and
Rob.

        John Blennert gave the talk before the auction and we agreed
It should not be telecast, as John went through a very similar
situation in Oman a couple of years ago and Omani officials offered
him $235,000 to get Mike back on Omani territory (so they could
Incarcerate him). John TOLD Mike this upon his return and Mike
Acted like John was blaming him for John's incarceration.

        This is ALSO NOT NEW INFORMATION - but somehow
This group seems to think since Mike has been through a hard
Time of late we should pretend he doesn't have a problem.

        Mike isn't going to listen to me because I am strait with him
AND NO ONE ELSE seems to be willing to or they somehow just
Don't see the self destructive behavior right in front of their face.

        If you all think everything Mike does does not add up to a
Big problem for HIM, or, you just don't get it, or you just don't
Think it is your "place" to confront him with his self destructive
Behavior -- well, folks, I don't know what to tell you, but I can't
Do that to a friend. (Yes, I am sure Mike does not consider me
A friend right now - but as far as I am concerned, I am the only
One who is really relating to him as a friend).

        Oh, ya, you can tell yourselves what I have said is not friendly.
Well, what I think is not friendly is seeing a brother in trouble and
Being unwilling to deal with him about it.

        I am dumbfounded at people's reactions - do you think that just
Because he could have had his hands cut off or been in prison for
Years or even put to death that that means we should all pretend
He didn't put himself in that position AFTER it was clearly explained
To him by John Blennert that Oman was OUT TO GET HIM?

        - Going to a KINGDOM you HAVE BEEN TOLD is out to get you
        - Self medicating with serious prescription drugs
        - Being a business man who regularly bursts into ranting and
Raving at potential customers and co-businessmen
        These are all serious self destructive behaviors. So, Greg, Jim
And Eric, if you really give a damn about Mike's welfare Don't just
say, "Hooray! You got back safe THIS TIME.", help him get the help
he needs.

        Sincerely, Michael
