Update, June 30, 2026. Four days after this was written, the State Bar of Georgia issued decisions on six of the seven cases listed here: the reconsideration was affirmed and five grievances were dismissed, all on one day. The seventh, my June 8 complaint to the Bar’s Human Resources office, has no answer as of September 5, 2026. The June 30 letters are here: June 30, 2026: The Decisions.
They Read It. The State Bar of Georgia’s own read receipts show who opened each message, and when. I am logging the ones they read and never answered.
June 26, 2026.
I sent an email titled “42 Days of Silence.” Three of the State Bar of Georgia’s most senior officials opened it within 45 minutes. None of them replied.
The read receipts came back from their own mail system:
| Who | Opened (ET) | Replied |
|---|---|---|
| Deputy General Counsel | June 26, 8:39 AM | No |
| President | June 26, 8:55 AM | No |
| Chief Operating Officer | June 26, 9:24 AM | No |
The Chief Operating Officer’s receipt shows she opened it on arrival, the read time and the delivery time logged in the same second.
This is not one email. The Bar’s own read receipts show the same thing on the grievance I filed against the ADA Coordinator, and on the list of outstanding ADA compliance questions: opened within hours, sometimes within minutes, and answered by no one. The board below is the running count.

Nine times the State Bar of Georgia's leadership opened these messages. Substantive replies: zero, as of June 26, 2026. The State Bar of Georgia's own read receipts, times Eastern.
A read receipt is proof the message was opened. The silence that follows is not an inbox someone missed. It is a choice made after reading.
It is also the other half of a picture. On the same days, some officials posted away messages (see Out of Office). The rest were here, reading, and chose not to answer. The office was not unreachable. It was present.
Read the emails and letters: the full State Bar of Georgia story, and this day on the Timeline.
Status: when this was written, none of the nine reads logged above had drawn a substantive reply.
Patterns on this page: read-no-answer. A recurring pattern in the State Bar record. I am noting the timing, not asserting a reason.
Corrections: this is built from documents I received. If any fact here is incomplete or inaccurate, identify the page, the sentence, and the supporting document, and I will review and correct this page.
If you have been through something like this, you are not imagining it, and you are not alone.
