This would appear to be a fishing expedition for 
all the dissidents/contributors in the area. Suddenly, we go from get the blogger, to silence the masses. And the court goes along, providing the horsepower.
Suddenlink is being compelled to disclose up to 10 identities of its customers, with most if not all totally innocent of the blog, merely contributors/readers.
Since contributing to the blog is a firing offense for Essent employees, what does that foretell for their customers? I would say a rapid decrease, if the company willingly complies. Even unwillingly. Have heard several business owners say they will be pulling their business should this go through. Both advertising and internet.
Since no federal agencies have entered into the fray, it would seem that no federal laws have been broken: No HIPAA violations. What Judge McDowell has done is act on a case without merit. Giving a stick to Essent to ferret out those making honest commentary.

Judge Howell and Ron Tidwell are treading on very dangerous ground, unless both feel that a certain silly document called the Bill of Rights can be superceded by corporate greed and paranoia.
Has SUddenlink sought legal representation to fight this, or are they going to roll over on their backs and pee like a whipped pup?
THANKS TO PARIS NEWS FOR THEIR STORYON YOUR SITE. I READED THE BLOG,JUST PEOPLE USING THEIR FREE SPEECH. NO WAY ANYONE SHOULD BE GIVE ANYONE ELSE,S IP ADDRESS OUT.AS FOR ME IAM HANK SANDERS IAM IN THE PHONEBOOK.I AM I ON THEIR "JOHN DOE" LIST,I DON,T LIKE THE WAY THEY RUN THINGS UP THEIR.PUT THE PEOPLE FIRST!!!! WORKS EVEYTIME. HANK SANDERS
I'm niether an Essent nor a PRMC employee, so Essent has no power over me. Should they want to go after Joe Citizen posting on blogsites, the best bring lunch and dinner, because they're in for a very long day!
I'll protect my First amedndment rights to my last breath and unbroken bone, and live for the day when Essent gets what they so rightfully deserve- closed down.
COnsider this tie verbal version of a middle finger aimed at Hud, Dicke, Duckboy, and every other stooge who sold their souls to Essent.
The reason there is a United States is because of the oppression caused by dictators of the past.
Our Forefathers wouldn't spit on hud or dick if they were on fire...
This is America...FREE SPEECH DID NOT COME FREE!
Me, a John Doe? Nope, not true. I revealed my identity when the Snooze printed a letter I wrote criticizing Duckboy and Essent. I'm not hard to find- matter of fact, just a little over an hour's drive away from Paris.
Hud, Dick, Duckboy- come on over & get me. Pack lunch and dinner, and kiss your spouses goodbye, 'cause you won't see 'em again in this life. I take severe offense when some half-ass business executive with spit for brains decides to sh!t on the First Amendment by mis-using the justice system. Unless you've just hired a bunch of illegal aliens (and if you have, I have friends at the INS that would love to talk to you), your employees are citizens of the United States of America, and are therefore covered under the Constitution and Bill of Rights. I totally agree that HIPAA regulations must be followed by all employees in healthcare and have little sympathy for those who are violating these regulations. Since this blogsite hasn't done so, I read & post here freely, as is my right as an American citizen.
You and the ass-kissing flunkies working for you should be ashamed of yourselves for trampling the basic rights of citizens through the use of ignorant lawyers and stupid judges who forgot about the Constitution. You shouls be, of course, but I am making an assumption that I am speaking to human beings instead of failed hacks who couldn't run a hotdog stand at a baseball game.
To hell with Wes Tidwell, to hell with the judge, and to hell with each of you. THIS American citizen isn't giving up his rights easily, without a fight. And if you push me, I WILL push back- hard.
Wess Tidwell, will take any case thrown at him, he has no reservations to what the case involes except the "All Might Dollar". That's where he comes from and thats where he will end up - go raise you cattle Wes and leave the lawyer stuff to real attorneys, not a wana be. Amazingly enough it is our right to post our feelings and thoughts and it most likely will put a lot of those dollars in your pockets so I feel assured you will turn your attention away from any Wess Tidwell comments and go directly to the Essence - issuses that will help you pay your country club dues.....Free speach is a right ! I fought for it in Viet Nam, you Think you got it from law school....Sorry you cant get the feel of freedom from school books...its an attitude, a feeling, something from the heart...Sorry but YOU wont understand this concept.
