Thanks for the update, Chris.

The lawyer humorously writes in the cease and desist letter :

Your defamatory statements have already damaged Mr. Hickey’s good name and reputation ...

I think that Hickey damaged his own alleged good name and reputation.

Hickey's reprimand did not come from a blog post. It came from the school board.

The Board has found that your behavior toward district staff members, including the extent and volume of your communications, were perceived as overly personal, as well as inappropriate and intentionally intimidating. Your repeated display of lack of judgment and inappropriate interpersonal interactions over a significant period of time has jeopardized your leadership of the District, and for which you are hereby reprimanded.

You must use better judgment in your interactions with, and comments to, staff members. You must avoid any communication or action which might be perceived, in any way, as too personal, inappropriate, forward, or flirtatious; you must exercise even more caution if you must communicate with a staff member in a private setting or manner.

You must never make comments or take actions which might be perceived as intimidating or threatening.
