I can't believe this place!

A friend of mine linked me here when he said he didn't know I was a member and wanted to know what I did to get blamed for eveything. I had no idea what he was talking about so I came over and find he's right. You asshats have got some bawls to go around blaming me for every half-baked idea and stupid n00b comment you make.

I have been using this name for a long time now on several other sites and have acquired a reputation with it that extends to my personal life. This is the name that most of my friends [yes, you know, those people outside the box you stare at all day] use to refer to me, even in public, and it is the name which I use when introducing myself to a new person in the real world [again, that place outside your monitor.. if you can drag yourself to the clear thing in the wall you can catch a glimpse of it] and as such, this site is guilty of lible and Defimation of Character. My lawyer will be happy to intervene if this does not stop immediately.


And speaking of lawyers, there is a memeber here that has stolen my intellectual property, removed the (c) information and claimed it, intrinsically, as his own. That will be removed as well or the same lawyer will be in touch. I will not abide theft AND DoC. What kind of site are you people running here?

You people need to sack up and take the blame for your own mistakes and assinine actions instead of trying to pawn them off on me. Grow up. What is the average age here? 15? Did mommy buy you all pwetty wittle Dells for christmas so you all come here to play "uber-kewl computer type geeky guy" after "skewl"?


I ­Ã‚Æ’ucking hate punkass n00bs....

Loose the uppity n00b attitude or loose your membership. We can ban your IP range too.

would you like a quarter to call someone that cares? because you have obviously mistaken me for someone who does. take you punk-assed little self to the local general store and buy yourself a REAL nickname. there is no reason to respond, because your plights have fallen to deaf ears, and do you realize that if you were on fire at the side of the road, i wouldn;t even stopp to pi$$ on you to save your life. i might hit you with my truck though....anyway you are dead to me, there is no reason for you to go on....stupid noobs....

OH AND BTW.....Fluffy made me say it....

LOL, calm down dude. It's the dog in my avatar, orginally from Godfoot's.

Next thing y'know, we call the dog Fido then someone named Fido'll come around b!tchin.

And yes, there's an auto-censor to keep it PG-13.

EDIT: and actually bothering to read some of your post, there's no defamation of character or any other legal crap because the name Fluffy was used far before you came here. Sowwy

If you had taken the time to actually sit down, and look through the threads about "fluffy", you'd know that we're all refering to a dog... yes, a dog.. it's in a couple people's avatars, and the origional picture is somewhere on the forums...

oh, and as for your threat of lawsuit for defamation of character.. we had that cleared up a while back... unless you were pre-defined as being the fluffy we were discussing, and thereby linked as an actual person to this nickname, you have no case... it's all anonymous...


That said, relax, cool your jets and have a soda, if we were talking about you, you'd know it...

Here's a post that I submitted recently in a different thread for the same type of baseless legal actions threats that you are making now...

Quote:
Well, I think you might have it wrong there, buddy.

Defamation of character involves two types, libel and slander. Slander is the spoken form and as such, doesn't exist in this case. Libel is the written form, such as publications. On the other hand, the possibility of libel MIGHT exist in this case.

For libel to exist, you have to prove a variety of things...

1. Publication
2. Identification
3. Defamation

Well, the first point is pretty obvious ("No DUH!", as my niece would say). The third...well, I think the following confirms that.
Quote:
"ignorant"-Highperf15

"Drunk, High, Mentally Retarded".-Arkangyl
A sexual perv-Fu3lman
"What a ****ing loser".-BigAkita
"Is it a full moon or just that time of year for the "special" olympics.
Scratch that, even the kids that compete in the S.O. are more intelligent."-godfoot


However, you have a small problem with the second requirement and that is identification. Unless your name is Mr. Spaztic B. Driver (middle name Bus) or have a commercial enterprise with that name "spazticbusdriver" before or at the time of the alleged offense, you have a problem.

You see, the Internet is a very tricky subject when it comes to the law. Where do you file your suit? What jurisdiction? Do the same laws apply where the offense was created or where it was destined? Is the defamation published every time someone views it? Do you file suit in every jurisdiction where it was filed? What about other countries and their laws on defamation?

Final word is that unless you were fully identified in this forum by your legal name PRIOR to the actual libel being committed to all those who committed the alleged "Defamation of Character", then you don't have a leg to stand on. The courts recognize the anonimity of a user name and as such, unless the user name is identical to your legal name and you have stated as such within the forum and so acknowledged by the alleged offenders, no damage has taken place to you, your character, or your standing in the community in which you live. You were not identified in this forum (or at least no place that I can find) and to those accused prior to the alleged defamation and any U.S. court, whether it be county, state, or federal, will simply rule the exchange as nothing more than free speech, currently protected by the First Amendment.

Have a nice day.

Rob

I'm sure that you get the gist of it...just remove the other person's name and insert your own. As far as claiming legal right to the name "Fluffy", again, you have no legal ground to stand on UNLESS you can prove, by a registered copyright on file with the U.S. Treasury, that "Fluffy" refers to you as a person. Spike Lee tried it when TNN decided to change their name to Spike TV and he lost that battle.

If you decide to go before a judge with a libel suit, he or she might laugh about it on a good day. There are literally millions of internet users that visit forums every day. To lay a propriatary claim to a nickname is the same as my trying to lay propriatary claim to the name "Rob", which, by the way, is my legal name. If you want to pursue action against this web site for libel (which, by legal definition, doesn't exist in this case as you haven't been identified by legal name), I've got quite a few house pet sites you might want to visit. Why not go sue some 80-year-old grandmother for posting that her Fluffy p*ssed on the couch again?

Have a nice day...

Rob

Go away, son, you bother me.

But if its not here we go.....
What exactly was your "Intellectual property" in use here on PimpRig. And why exactly do you think we give 2¢ who you are, What your Rep is, or what you have to say. Call your lawyer I hope he laughs his arse off when you tell him that someone is slandering your good name Fluffy... and for the Record.. Fluffy "Destroyer of Worlds is a DOG a$$hat!....

Having said that I have most likely posted to someone playing a rather sh!tty practical joke but who cares.. I dont generally make it a point to post to ppl acting up on the board but I felt froggy... and I jumped.. so THERE!!!

Yeah, my first thought was, "Godfoot(c) playing a practical joke?"

Then I realized that he's a pimp that wouldn't play like that without a P.S. saying it's a joke. Besides, I know that he wouldn't have committed the ultimate no-no by bypassing the word censor. Sorry for thinking it was you, GF buddy.

Hey, Fluffy(c), why not tell us what image you have copyrighted?

Crazy J(c)...(I do have permission to use that nickname, right?), you're crazy, man.

I'm sure that Duck Warrior(c), GlitterKill(c), Big Akita(c), KayinStorm(c), or one of the other moderators of PimpRig(c) will take care of him.

I've been called Crazy_J since my freshman year of highschool. This name spread so quickly, within the first week of school, I became most popular kid in Highschool. Sadly enough, nearby towns quickly recognized me too

Fluffy, you just broke copyright by sticking your own (c) on there. Why? Because all content is Copyright Pimprig.com and that picture was definitely posted far before you got the chance to stick a little c on it.

Yeah, i skimed over this, figured it was a joke, with the whole fluffy made me do it thing this morning, figured it was someone speaking as the dog, but this guy seems really pissed off. But yeah, Rob, your right, libel and slandar are civil matters, not criminal, basically you have to prove that monetary damage was done by what was said/printed. Weither direct or indirect, damage has to be proved. This guy doesn't have a legal leg to stand on. Can we get a mod to close this thread? Oh wait, he might sue us for that... But seriously, this is the second person making threats of a libel suit in as many days, what have these jeroffs panties in a bunch all or a sudden?
