Thank you. I should explain a few things, if it's all right:
1. Regarding the post title, Kenneth Kiraly isn't a friend. I did teach him to drive a car and to code in 'C'. He also lived with me rent-free for years. Kenneth is my brother. These are the sorts of things that I thought somebody was supposed to do for a brother.
The document includes a short biography of Kenneth that explains how things worked out. It will be expanded over time. There are some positive parts worth mentioning. Not many but I'd like the family history to present a complete picture.
2. I was told years ago that Kenneth was the man who had developed the Kindle. And he was interested in convergence as far back as the 1980s. Additionally, people I meet around Silicon Valley all seem to know him. Except me, of course.
But I was never able to confirm the Kindle story. He's been cautious about staying out of the limelight; not the way he used to be. Somebody who was curious and checked said there's little about his role on the Amazon Lab 126 webpages.
It appears that he did do the Kindle, though. The court papers seem to indicate this. Note: Since I've mentioned the court papers, I should add that I haven't been lawfully served. The whole thing is tiring and confusing. And more than a bit frightening. Gee, thanks, Kenny.
I haven't read that part of the court papers closely but I gather Kenneth is furious that I've sometimes referred to him as the Kindle Kid. I don't see what's wrong with calling Kenneth the Kindle Kid. I think I'm entitled. I'm the big brother who taught him to code in 'C'. I helped to teach him to walk and I remember the expression on his face when he took his first step.
There's other things I haven't mentioned. I think Kenneth may have forgotten about some of them.
I don't deserve to placed in a criminal database for saying Kindle Kid. That isn't the way Kenneth and Thomas (he's a VP at Humana) are playing it; but see the history of the case if you're curious.
3. Regarding the wheelchair remark I see in the post above, I should explain that I walk perfectly well most of the time. I'm just in the wheelchair occasionally. This was a gift last year and it helps in the apartment but it doesn't work outside. The story of how I received it is in the document.
I was forced to spend about 48 hours recently unexpectedly writing 32 pages; the document you've seen. Somebody has told me it reads like "Confederacy of Dunces". Note: I don't know if that's true. I've heard of the latter book but I haven't read it.
The 32 pages might provide a better jumping-off point for what I'd like to say than my original idea. I'd never have gone public about some issues but the decision has been made for me. And it felt right to write about some of the things that had happened.
So after I deal with the Kiralys (James, Grace, Thomas, and Kenneth) and hopefully after I recover from an illness, I'll look at the current document and see if I can shape it into something worthwhile.
The family history would go into it (possibly back to 1850). I'd add incidents from the lives of each of the Kiralys, more about Twisted Time, myself, and our peers, and a narrative that tries to make sense of it all; families, abuse, love and hate, success and failure, and the role that religion plays in our lives.
The Kiralys aren't going to like the idea much. But I think the project might work out. And after the events that you can presently read about at http://details.wikidot.com/ I am not sobbing on the ground, heartbroken by their sadness.
They're likely to try to take actions related to this. And I still face the first court hearing in a few days and there's no attorney. But if the current version is spread around a bit I don't think they'll be able to stop it.
Thanks and you're probably right. But I'm hoping to attract attention and conceivably find an attorney that way. Time is pretty short for conventional means as I didn't learn about the first hearing until shortly before it was scheduled.
In fact, I haven't actually been lawfully served but the hearing will proceed regardless. In just a few days. To be honest, I'm worried about the whole thing.
Additionally, there are some unusual aspects to the case. Kenneth Kiraly is apparently the architect of the Kindle. Thomas is a VP of Humana. Some of the allegations are serious but bizarre at the same time. And the entire exercise started when I asked our parents to work on a book. The book was going to touch on abuse and that's certainly a issue of some importance. If enough people see this, it's possible somebody will be interested enough to consider pro bono.
BTW I use the Crowley spelling most of the time these days. I don't see myself as related to these people. They aren't my family. Anybody who reads the document might understand why.
The family history is interesting, though, and I'll expand it. One person I talked to in the 1990s was an Admiral who ran Security for the Manhattan Project. And James Kiraly's mother (my grandmother) Ann Kiraly was a remarkable woman. Rose to the top of the insurance industry back in the 1940s. James didn't like her much, though.
I'm new here and I hope a detailed response is all right. The document explains why I write this way.
