2) Libel in the US is ruled that "Truth is always an absolute defense against a defamation suit in the United States." So he is bluffing and he knows it. +1,000,000,000. I do agree we should not link to his site nor give him any free press. However those who are being infringed upon should not give up. Today I wrote to RPGNOW to point out the download section of his website. Since he could only have gotten some of those things from them and then he turned them into DOC files it means willful redistribution of copyrighted material and tampering with the watermarks probably makes it even more criminal. That seems wise too.

Although i cannot divulge the details, i can certify that the people's who's copyrights he has infringed have far from given up and, the only thing "that guy" has achieved with his gagging order is shooting himself in the foot. Not that "that guys" stupidity surprises me and i still stand by my words in everything i have said.
A few interesting points have arisen as the results of the investigations of that guy too. For example, did you know he's not affiliated with any Bar association in the US... Kinda suggests he's not a lawyer don't you think? That he has no legal friends, no legal thrull and not a legal leg to stand on.
So as much as i support Vin's actions to protect himself, i would ask that he would reconsider the matter of gagging. "That guy" only wants to cause divides in the community as a whole and splitting opinion in such veracious ways is a pretty good way of going about it. He probably figures, whilst we're fighting amongst ourselves, we can't take him on effectively...
... He was wrong as per the norm but that's not the point.

I doubt any of them would publicly offer opinions or perform actions in such an inflammatory manner for fear of being suspended, investigated and have their practice certificate revoked.

By the way Vin if we have not said Thank You lately, Thank You! I know you are busy on a lot boards but I'm glad you took, and take, the time to make Trollbridge feel special.

[PS - As soon as my Exalt-o-matic 2000 reloads I'm going to take aim at you. ;0 ]

By the way, just about the time I hope things start to cool down I get an e-mail from "that guy". Apparently someone "from the Trollbridge" has been leaving threatening messages on his answering machine. Please don't threaten anyone and their family, and please leave the name of the Trollbridge out of any squabbles.

That is a matter for the authorities who, when presented with the evidence, should find it easy to trace where the call came from and deal with it appropriately.

Agreed. That's why I had encouraged folks to no longer discuss him or his company. Somehow we still create a 3-page thread anyhow.

That person is about 90% of the T&T news... the other 10% is split between "8th is on hold again" and "What's the new solo out this quarter?"

It is really very funny. It also may indicate that he is still taking heat in sensative areas.
