07/06/2005: "Mistaken Identity"

The following exchange, as well as the post before this, are illustrations of the types of 'conversations' that occur between me and others who have mistaken my identity. 'Chuck' is a common name in the South. And I reckon 'Baldwin' ain't that uncommon. Fortunately for me I was the first to nab the domain name www.chuckbaldwin.com. You would think someone with a political radio show would think to buy it, but likely in a penny-wise pound-foolish decision, another decided to buy chuckbaldwinlive.com.
Nonetheless, I am happy with my name and have no intention of changing it or selling it.
So, if you are trying to contact a Chuck Baldwin, make sure you are emailing the right one. I cannot be held responsible for replies I make to unsolicited email. Well, at least I don't think I can -- I haven't checked with my lawyers.

As a courtesy to the other side of this conversation I have x'd out his name and website where it appears.

Yow! You ARE a different Chuck Baldwin! Mind you, I don't think he is a
total nut case, but he does get tiresome...and repetitive...and off the
wall...and.....well, maybe he IS a total nut case.

I glanced through your web site quickly and saw that you are clearly one
hell of a lot more intelligent than Chuckwagon Chuck.

Click on the following for my latest, which went to my list today:

You might find me to be more of a nut case than Chuckwagon, though I doubt
it.

I don't know how you're gonna do it, but you've got to sue him for divorce,
or something...too bad you can't force a name change on someone else. Hey!
Since the Supremes now say they can take your home and give it to a
developer to turn into a strip club, maybe next up would be the forcible
taking of names, going to the highest bidder.

I'm a different Chuck Baldwin, one without confederate flags flying on my
website. But as the owner of chuckbaldwin.com I get a LOT of nutcases
writing to my email address in error. Some I respond to, most I ignore.
Sorry to bother you. I was trying to get rid of this "chassieman" who seems
to be writing you too, and hit Reply All to be as thorough as possible. I
thoroughly enjoyed your response, though I'm not familiar with your writing.
But based on your reply I am quite interested to see what you do.

Please add c h u ckb lo g @ chuckbaldwin.com to your weekly missives' list. If in fact
I find it as repulsive as the Reverend Doctor's I'll unsubscribe in earnest.
In the meantime consider it a case of mistaken identity.

Chuck Baldwin

I also got a stark "lol"; a "Sorry, I don't have you on any list..."; and a "Please un scribe me from YOUR lists."

Well, all in a day's work defending the name Chuck Baldwin. I had my fortune told to me last night by a mystical typewriter at the Musee Mecanique on the Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. It said that my "behavior is beyond reproach."

As G.W.'s god is telling him to bomb Iraq, mine are telling me to keep on track, too.
