Guy Making Vague Threats Against FSTDT

[tempus]

I'm not completely sure where to put this, so if a mod feels like it's in the wrong place, then by all means move it, but I thought I'd bring this to everyone's attention for the sake of laughs:

Richard Rosewater III

Hey guys...ya....this is the guy who wrote those words under the name...”Richard Rosewater III”. Who is the person that submitted this quote? You guys are in big trouble. This is defamation. On the surface, it appears that I am a bigot ...or whatever. However, The FTL BBS (the place where those words originate) is known for practising “Political Incorrectness”, and maybe the administrator of this website did not know that, but now you know, and now...you have no excuse. You have to delete this page from your website, and don't make me contact my lawyer.

Whoever posted my quote is being irresponsible, and I imagine this person does not have a real understanding as to what the FTL BBS is all about. The FTL BBS has an anti-racist policy, and if I was really being “racist”, then the mods would have banned me by now, but they have not.

So I would really appreciate it if the administrator delete this page, and quit libelling my name. I will be contacting the administrator of this website, soon. I would also recommend that the administrator refrain from publishing content from the FTL BBS, since it does not appear that the administrator has a quality understanding, concerning the actual nature of the FTL BBS.

Thanks.

Danke Tempest, I was wondering where I was going to cross post this:

I saw that about a week ago. I laft.

You know about that place? It comes across as some James Randi Jr. site. I hope they are not evil 4chan people, cuz... then I'll have to touch bases with my Russian mafia contacts, and things are gonna get ugly.

Your Russian mafia contacts?

Now, you may not pay a lot of attention to the geographical distribution of organized crime families, but I do. I can tell you, in my area they're nearly nonexistent. So go right ahead, see if they're willing to drive out here because you said something stupid and someone quoted it.

For everyone's enlightenment I'll share the email you sent to me:

Subject: Hey....you need to delete one of your pages

Hey Distind,

You posted some quote of mine that has to be deleted. The page address is:

www.fstdt.net/QuoteComment.aspx?QID=60893

I have included a comment on that page just prior to contacting you. My comment (#941457):

I am requesting that you delete this page. I've not known of your site until I came across it yesterday while looking for something under my name on google. I am not clear as to what your politics are, but I'm guessing you folk are atheist liberals. I would appreciate if you do not include me as part of your propaganda. The Libertarian/Anarchist scene is quite different from the "right and left" scenes. I do not expect you to accept the politically incorrect nature of our scene, nor am I in the mood to explain it....I would just rather that you leave me out of your political agenda. What you have published (under my name) has been taken out of context, and I would appreciate it if you would delete that page for me, as soon as possible.

Thank for your time.

I have a process for dealing with this, I check the source(which was deleted), I check the history(to find out you're an admin who could have easily deleted the post to cover your own ass), I confer with my mods if I feel the need(not even remotely at the moment, though they are getting a chuckle out of your email) and decide what to do.

For now, my decision has been to post here to see if you're actually fucking serious. See, my fiance and I take a bit of exception to what you said, I'm sure if you think about it a bit you may be able to guess why. If not, check the comments on the quote, she responded to you. Now, I'll note that it wasn't just me who approved this, but at least 25 people total who hit the approve button in our public administration system. If only 10 had thought this wasn't racist, it would have been deleted and removed from the site.

Now, I can delete it, I may, but here I am looking at an admission you posted it and a hissy fit over someone submitting it. Which isn't making it look all to terribly likely.

To address your email, there is a not so fine line between politically incorrect, and fucking retarded. In fact, for most of us it's pretty clear. A lot of us actually bother to be innocent before professing it, or check into the possibility of legal action before threatening it. Some of us even realize that making demands generally runs you straight up the "I'm a dink who needs to be dragged into a spotlight" flag pole.

Now, I'm cross posting this on my own forums, so deleting this won't help you all to much. But please, let me know what exact grounds you have for it's removal and I will actually consider it. I'm just seeing none at all, and remembering my plans for an idiot of the month page due to the frequency of people emailing me crap like this when they have no real backing at all. If you really want to know how much of a dick I get to be and how solid your legal arguments are get in contact with Stephen Choate, the prophet for profit as I call him. I'm quite tired of explaining that to people.

Not another guy who thinks he can sue a website for repeating his own words! How many of these have we had so far? It's gotta be at least half a dozen.

You too can follow the action here:

And here I was wondering what I was going to do to entertain myself during dinner.

[Admiral Lithp]

Some Fundie I was E-mailing earlier threatened to report me for harassment.

[Distind]

Well I'll be damned, seems he was acutally being honest when he said he was being misrepresented, in a twisted way.

I've killed the quote from the main page, and may actually manually delete it along with it's comments baring the guy maintaining idiot status and provoking my evil/bored side.

[ozznova]

if a guy acts like a racist jackass he should be treated like one

*is TimeLady there*

[Distind]

It's obvious he is rather stupid. But frankly there's enough stupid out there I don't think we need to catalog it. If you give me a pattern of it I'll consider reinstating it. But otherwise it, and hopefully this little flap, dies.

[ozznova]

Hey, there's a pattern of stupid involving him!

I believe it, he may cause me to add a new section to the site simply to mock him.

I haven't met someone this willfully ignorant since this afternoon on the CARM boards.

[ozznova]

oh, he's not really an admin there, either, he just has that as a pic that's part of his avatar . . .

he's not right in the head.

I hate people who start spamming legal threats when they don't get their way. Not everything needs to be, or can be, solved by lining the pockets of some unscrupulous lawyer* as those wankers who used to advertise on daytime TV here in the UK found out to their cost. Turned out the judges started getting a lot less sympathetic, more cases collapsed, no-win no-fee came back to bite them in the arse as they don't turn any profit if they lose and the recession finished the job.

* Not saying all lawyers are dodgy, for the record, but the ones who take frivolous cases are.

Please tell me it's not another chris /chan/

[malicious_bloke]

Heh, if this sort of hilarity keeps up, you could even have a "legal threats" exhibition on the front page.

It's always funny to see angry emails from tards when they get their idiocy exhibited

before he deleted them, he posted a bunch of videos of himself on YouTube wearing a black ski mask, opera gloves, and black shorts/pants going on weird rants about masturbation.
