Post Sale of The Light
After the sale, Mitchell initially worked as a consultant to The Light, but he and Plotkin soon got into litigation with each other over a variety of issues. The dispute began with Plotkin in February 2006 accusing Mitchell of attacking him in front of The Light’s office. Mitchell was not charged with any wrongdoing and on his blog cited statements the witnesses had made to Marin County sheriff’s deputies. All said that neither man had been violent but had merely shouted at each other. In court filings Mitchell claimed that what was at issue was that Plotkin was trying to break the consulting contract.
In January 2008, the two men announced they had reached an out-of-court settlement to all their litigation. Both said they were happy with the agreement but had agreed to keep details private.
Mitchell, 65, is retired and lives in Point Reyes Station, a rural town of 750 people 40 miles north of San Francisco. He spends much of his time on wildlife photography and on commentaries about the small towns of his area, which he publishes on his blog.

Famous quotes containing the words post and/or sale:
“Fear death?—to feel the fog in my throat,
The mist in my face,
When the snows begin, and the blasts denote
I am nearing the place,
The power of the night, the press of the storm,
The post of the foe;
Where he stands, the Arch Fear in a visible form,
Yet the strong man must go:”
—Robert Browning (1812–1889)
“I keep thinking that what I need
to do is buy my leg back.
Surely it is for sale somewhere,
poor broken tool, poor ornament.
It might be in a store somewhere beside a lady’s scarf.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
