In an example of some of the stupider sides of advocacy long time autism rights advocate Joe Mele is defending Dr. Nick Dubin who was recently arrested by the FBI for being a pervert.

For those that do not yet Dr. Nick Dubin a long time autism self advocate was recently arrested by the FBI for downloading sexual imagery and videos of underage children often performing sexual acts. The acts are vividly described in the criminal complaint against Dr Dubin which is widely available – but too graphic in my judgment to be posted on this website. In a statement on an autism advocacy list serve online Joe Mele made the following statement regarding the arrest of Dr Nick Dubin.

But since underage children are not sexual objects like animals it shouldnt be a big deal if they are naked.

The above statement was made by Joe Mele after he read the full article and alligations, as well as the reports of the admission of guilt by Dr. Nick Dubin. Joe Mele also made the following statement of which I strongly disagree

This should not diminsh his work btw as well

Like hell it shouldn’t. In my opinion Dr Nick Dubin’s medical license should be immediately suspended pending investigation, and a condition of his bond should be that he is not allowed to continue advocacy work for disabled individuals or children. Dr. Dubin is not only an advocate but a recently licensed medical professional. Medical professionals should be held to a high ethical, moral and legal obligations that does extend into their personal lives.

I am fully disgusted by the Autism Rights movement who quickly jump to defend guilty individuals such as Dr. Nick Dubin, guilty by admission hacker Gary McKinnon and others. These people are demanding equal rights and opportunities for people on the Autism Spectrum but jump to the defense of someone on the spectrum who goes a muck and commits crimes. Part of having equal rights and opportunities is the responsibility of completing punishment when you commit a crime.

Dr. Nick Dubin was one of the countries leading autism self advocates after being diagnosed Autistic in 2004. He has paid special attention on how bullying affects people on the Autism Spectrum and has published several books including Asperger Syndrome and Anxiety: A Guide to Successful Stress Management and Asperger Syndrome and Bullying: Strategies and Solutions

Joe Mele Files Law Suit

Autism Advocate Joe Mele has filed a law suit to cover up his behaviors on covering up a child porn scandal by Dr. Nick Dubin

AspieWeb.net was taken offline due to this.

I've created this page so people know the truth.

Autism Advocate Joe Mele Threatens People to Cover Up Illegal Underage Porn

Today I received a notice from the company that hosts AspieWeb.net that Joe Mele tried to have AspieWeb taken offline with an improperly filed and erroneous copyright violation complaint… which also accused me of sleeping with my sister (even though I don’t have one!) When I was out an about I received an email from my host that there was someone claiming that I’m violating their copyright.

Upon review it became clear that it was Joe Mele being upset about me covering Nick Dubin’s arrest for child porn, as well as how Joe Mele, Andrew Ackner and other Autism advocates are defending him. But this is not a normal DMCA take down request – it also accuses me of sleeping with a sister I don’t have! This is just like the large number of comments that are not approved from Andrew Ackner calling me a ‘Moron’, calling other users a ‘douchefag’ while telling them to suck his genitalia and then telling me to “Knock Knock. Go #### Yourself” and that he was “gonna start my own giant Aspieweb website… with hookers”.

So without further to do… here is the DMCA takedown notice. The notice is blockquoted and my responses are italicized.

Hi

Autism 'Advocate' and defender of child porn lovers Joe Mele

Um hi I guess?

I need to odge a complaint against one of your clients. aspieweb.net – the owner or webmaster zach lassiter has stolen and use a copyright image without permission. I own the copyright. It is taken from www.joemele.info and you can see it here part of another picture he made. http://www.aspieweb.net/autism-advocate-defends-dr-dubin-joe-mele-andrew-ackner/

What is odge? Do you mean lodge? I have not stolen a picture… I have used it under the fair use provisions of copyright law. Copyright.gov clearly states that the following falls under fair use – “purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.”

But beyond that. Mr lassiter is a horrible person. He uses this site to slander me and others. the case in point is dr dubin. I only asked to reserved judgements until the law runs its course. So mr. lassiter accuses me of defending him and implicating that I support child pornography. He has on this site threatened to kill himself more than once. The more clicks he gets the more he makes in ad revenues. Sad but true.

I’m the horrible person? Your the one that’s horrible. Your the one that is defending an admitted lover of watching children perform sexual acts! Yes I struggled with suicide, because I gave my daughter up for adoption (because it was best for her.) I’m told thats quite a normal response to such a circumstance and it also makes me very sensitive to people who abuse children. As far as ad revenue – I barely make enough to pay for this website. I have only quoted from the court records on the case of Dr. Dubin as well as gave my oppinions on. I have also commented on – and provided evidence of your and others actions in attempts to defend the actions of a person who has admitted to downloading video and imagery of children in sexual situations.

The irony is – is that mr lassiter is the only one found guilty of a crime. Which he surprisingly detailed on his blog last year. He slept & impregnated a mentally challenged underage girl who was his step sister.

Joe, I don’t have a step sister. The only girl I have ever impregnated was twenty one and had an IQ of eighty seven. An IQ of eighty seven is pretty much so normal – just three points below it. So what you just told my web host would qualify as slander though – correct?

Please at the very least enforce my copyright. Take down his site until he rectifies the copyright violation.

Not gonna happen. Sorry, its called fair use. The situation does not need rectification. However if you consider to accuse me of sleeping with a developmentally disabled step sister that I don’t have I’m going to have to rectify that situation. Kapish?

Sincerely,
Joe Mele

Joe, I don’t want your phone number. I don’t think it would be healthy for me to associate with people that defend people who abuse children. It would be one thing if your his lawyer – but your not.
