Just provide evidence of your claims. That's all I'm asking.

Tom, please check out BJ Penn's Instagram page
https://www.instagram.com/bjpenn/. You'll see all the garbage he's posted regarding unproven, conspiracy theories about this issue and the Lahaina fire.
Thanks for posting the link, AaronS. I was too chicken to do it - Tom!
Enjoy reading the tin foil hat garbage that spews from Penn’s mouth Tom! And imagine what the people who believe him must be like!

inclusive of the "I'm your boss" one.
I saw that one too, I believe on a Honolulu news channel. Penn looked like a crazy man, but a crazy man who was possessed by several competing demons.
It's probably on TwitterX somewhere, but BJ isn't worth the 2 minutes it would take to find it.
I'd quit my job too, unless I was Bruce Lee or Chuck Norris (see internet memes) if someone was screeching at me like that.

Also, don't forget that Penn's claims against Ryan Watanabe and his company getting State Contracts can be very easily debunked. The legal sticky part is Watanabe is by definition NOT a public figure.
That could leave a defamation suit against Penn a very easy matter to win.

So what? Do you think anyone is going to file a defamation case against Penn? Not only are defamation cases complicated, they are expensive. Other than saying "I think..." as you've done in recent posts, can you please post something that supports your argument and the facts and evidence behind your claims?

That’s up to Watanabe. He is the one who has been potentially defamed and slandered. .
Not only are defamation cases complicated, they are expensive.
Having a 50 plus year old companies reputation harmed by baseless facts spouted off by some drunken thug at a public meeting and making social media posts could make any potential lawsuit worthwhile.

I posted my opinion as did you. Clearly the links AaronS posted were either ignored by you or you didn’t grasp them.
Here’s one for you Tom. Free of charge even:!

Ha ha ha! In the parlance of today's youth, I am dying!
Well Julie, I think that just about does it for you around these parts.
The welcome wagon has been ambushed and set on fire.

In accordance with my 14-year-old grandson and his "gaggle" of buddies, the more current parlance of today's youth would be more like:
OMG. Or WTF. Or as what you're trying to say would be simply tagged "DEAD"
The term "I am dying!" was so 1980's!
Well Julie, I think that just about does it for you around these parts.
Really? What, have I been banished to the outskirts of town? Am I supposed to challenge someone to a duel now? That's a very 1800's term now wouldn't you say?

First, I'd say that whatever point you're trying to make here is in poor taste with respect to the recent Maui fires, but I'd like to know who this "welcome wagon" is. Certainly, it's not you with only 16 posts since you joined in 2009. And who ambushed this "welcome wagon?" And how?
Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!
My grandson and his "gaggle" tell me my response should simply be "OK Boomer!" but to be honest, I find that might be a bit insulting, since I am a boomer as well. However, adding in "the lord" always makes things right! Right?

When you consider that Penn has a reported worth of 20 to 25 million, he could do something that could really benefit the displaced people of Maui other than demeaning and bullying government employees and issuing slanderous statements against an Hawaii company official as well as selling cardboard prints of his mug for 25 bucks a pop on Etsy.

I have no idea what that link has to do with anything. Does it show defamation? Not in my opinion.
