Be sure and pick up a copy of today’s El Diario of El Paso. On the back page of the “A” section is a half a page ad about Tom Fenton and David Crowder of El Paso Inc. and their lack of journalistic ethics. More interestingly in the ad is published, in full, a bizarre e-mail that David Crowder sent to me at 3:21 in the morning, April 24, 2010. It appears that David Crowder has “issues” that his wife may be unaware of. Also keep in mind when reading the e-mail that Crowder has twice been arrested for drunken driving.
Here is what Crowder wrote to me and what is published in the Diario today:

“Theresa

I was watching a silly science fiction movie a while ago. Vegging out, when the crazy thought occurred to me that I would like to meet you for a human conversation. We have been batting each other around for years, swirling in opposing orbits, picking up strange impressions of each other. I’ve never liked it, any part of it. I remember years ago, 2001 I think, Gary Scharrer wrote your sister a personal reply. It got him in a ton of trouble. I may be doing the same thing, but I don’t have to worry about the Times management bitching me out now.

What I am suggesting is just a simple meeting and an off-time, off-the-record, candid conversation that might help put us on a different footing because we are both going to be around for a while…you longer than me. It could be here at my house or at yours or…I don’t care, just not public, for a period of truce, if you will, after which the world will go on, perhaps slightly changedc.

Do legitimate professionals seek private, in-home meetings with women they don’t know on a personal level? Would Crowder send such an e-mail to a man? Would you like such an e-mail sent to your wife or daughter by a reporter? If your husband did this, what would you do? Why not meet in public? What is wrong with a public place if your intentions are honorable?

Methinks Crowder also burned Gary Scharrer, former reporter for the El Paso Times.

I will also be posting a full copy of Crowder’s e-mail as an attachment to this blog later.
