It was 10 years ago this month...(Part 4)

On April 7th, 2006 Todd Ehrenfels announced that the Yahoo Chat Group had offically severed
ties with the SFABC(at the request of Philip DeParto) and that it was now called the SFSNNJ Yahoo Chat Group. It had also come out that PDP had revoked the memberships of Todd, Chris
Hasselkus, Ann-Marie Brown & her sister Josephine. I was completely shocked to learn this &
emailed Todd to find out what happened. I went to Phil's monthly meeting the next night and asked him point-blank what happened. He said he didn't want to talk about it but he would be making a statement at the offical beginning of the meeting. At that time he said that an serious incident occured on April 4th, 2006,which caused him to take this action. Slowly but surely I began to find out the truth of what had been going on since I had retreated from the group.
Apparently a woman named Samantha had been attending the SFABC Bookstore events and was "coming on" to many of the men in the Group, including Todd,who is gay. Todd asked the woman to stop. She refused. Ann-Marie saw what was going on and also asked her to stop. The woman responded by threating Ann-Marie in the parking lot & nearly running her down with her car. At this point Todd & Ann-Marie(with Chris & Jo backing them up) started asking Phil not to invite her to the bookstore events. He refused,stating that "I didn't see it,therefore it didn't happen"(During this period Pam had started to pull away from the club to care for her mother Helen,who is in the terminal stages of Altzheimer's Disease. It is my belief [based upon what I now know]that Phil started "two-timing" Pam with Samantha, simply because she was there for him when Pam COULDN'T be). This situation continued for a year and a half until April 4th, when Phil showed up for the Classics of Sci-Fi discussion group with Samantha on his arm at the Barnes & Noble in Paramus. Utterly disgusted by Phil's actions, Ann-Marie, Todd,
Chris & Jo left the meeting and went downstairs to the cafe. A little while later(after Samantha
who worked at that Barnes & Noble told Phil that she planned to file a restraining order against
Ann-Marie)Phil came downstairs, went over to where Todd & the others were sitting and "revoked" their memberships{offering to refund their monthly dues as well}. These actions
would prove to be Phil's undoing, as what happened next will show....
