Bob communicated the threat directly to Seidman via email. Anonymously or not, it was a direct communication. That’s worse than what Spechler did on a blog. Bob was lucky that JQC recommendations were still accepted back then. Now its a rarity that the higher court doesn’t stiffen the punishment or remove them outright for unbecoming behavior. I would guess in today’s world Bob would have been removed. That’s only my opinion.
Spechler gets 45 day suspension

I GOT MY EYE ON YOU
The price of threatening a Judge is going up. 45 days. Diaz got 2 weeks for threatening Seidman.
45 days is not long enough for this conduct by a former judge.
Diaz would have been disbarred if he was a mere lawyer when he did that to a sitting Judge.
Judge Diaz was fined $15 large.that must hurt bad off a chicken feed paycheck.

Judge Diaz’s anonymous threat to a public servant like Judge Seidman.
Holmes ain’t a Judge and Hawkins ain’t getting paid.
