If we agree to use these "social" mediums for public discourse, we agree to selling the validity of public discourse for another's profit.

Reestablishing local, in person, spaces for public discourse seems essential to solving this problem. This seems like a good model: www.nyphilosophy.org/about

Nothing here is intended to, nor shall be interpreted as, a concession that any law has been violated by H-Net.

Additionally, there has been no admission as to any illegal activity, nor do we agree with your assessment that there is any evidence of fraud. H-Net has always and will continue to comply with all appropriate federal laws/rules.

Please note that a reference as to potential correspondence from a licensed attorney is neither a threat nor a reference to any legal action, pending or future.

Dear Alex, my reference to legal representation was purely to denote that I do not have the legal expertise required to respond to your allegations concerning federal and or state law.
January 15, 2026 at 3:34 PM
Again, Alex, H-Net has not received anything credible from actual legal representatives representing the State of Michigan or any other individual or institution. Expect to hear from our legal representatives.

Happy to talk with Emma, Alex, if that was the reason for the tag.

Hi Monika, as I have said previously, I would be happy to talk anytime. You know how to reach me, let me know what works for you as far as timing and mode of communication.
