"Somasi as a Service": Criticism Is Fair, Insult Is Not
A public reply by Rama Abdurachman mocked "somasi as a service". Some of it is a fair opinion about my practice. Some of it is not. This post separates the two, because I want a legal notice to hit only the second part.
This article does not claim that every sentence in the reply is unlawful. It says which sentences I accept as criticism and which I dispute. The full record is in the main post.
This is my account and my opinion. It is not a finding by any court.
What I accept
- Criticism of somasi as a practice. A somasi is a written warning. People can think a person who sends many of them is a nuisance. That is an opinion on a public matter.
- "Not a law firm, not a notary, no PKPA." Accurate. I act for myself as the aggrieved party, which is every citizen's right, and I do not present myself as a law firm. My own letter says I am not one.
- A blunt tone. Public threads are rough. I do not ask anyone to be polite.
What I dispute
- Slurs aimed at me, not at the argument. "Stupid EQ", "loser in life" and an expletive say nothing about whether a somasi is right or wrong.
- References to my health. A phrase meaning "mentally defective" and an instruction to "take your medications" are not about somasi. I explain why in a separate post.
- A claim of fact about the police. The reply says an investigator laughed and sent me home. That is a statement about what happened, not an opinion. See the police-report post.
A simple test
If you can delete the person and keep the sentence, it is probably criticism: "somasi letters sent in bulk waste police time". If the sentence only works with the person in it, it is closer to an insult: "he is a loser who needs medication". The second kind says nothing a reader can check.
What I cannot say
- That the reply is criminal. In my letter I say it fits certain articles of the 2023 Criminal Code. That is my argument, not a finding.
- That "it was a joke" is no defence. It may be one, and a court will decide.
- That he meant the health remarks about me. I argue he did, because the reply says "take your medications".
Where I am probably wrong
I am sensitive on this topic and may judge it harshly. A reader may think the legal response is out of proportion to a thread reply. That is a fair view and I have kept the door open to a settlement.
