Court decision--be careful blogging

I just saw this article about a model in NY who sued to compel Google to release the name of an anonymous blogger she felt defamed her in a blog. She won and Google now has to turn over the name of the blogger.

Just FYI. The article claims this could be precedent setting.

in your case, that may be true...

After putting Psycho-Boy on the Cyberpaths site, his second victim put him on DatingPsychos using my email address. Another exposed person from the Cyberpaths site wrote to JDog to find out who exposed him... paid him the $25 and JDog, mistakenly, gave him my email. I got numerous harassing & threatening emails. Then my email started being used by Nigerian scammers! Apparently this psycho I didn't even know sold my email! I had to call the FBI's local office and it took quite a while to get it all straightened out. JDog refused to work with me... the whole thing became a threat to my family. JDog's giving out any of his posters' information without their express permission is illegal and unethical. Lisa & I would never give out information about the members here for any reason - ever. In fact we've banned a couple suspicious people who've come here. Victims deserved to be protected. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLICK HERE: Articles & information for abuse victims - Updated Daily "Some women can fake an orgasm.

there is no problem here

we bloggers are all in the clear. The onus is on her to prove defamation by proving the blogger LIED. Most of our Ns & Ps know exactly who we are. I have even invited Psycho-Boy to come after me because allllll HIS lies would come out too. Additionally - that model is a public figure and the possible monetary impact on her career and life is enormous. We bloggers here have ZERO monetary impact (though I would love to sue for INTENTIONAL INFLICTION OF EMOTIONAL DISTRESS if Psycho-Boy tries to come after me - he won't though - I had a cease & desist issued on he and his wife. Can you say BUSTED?) And I never posted 'personal facts' that Psycho-Boye himself didn't either A) post on public casual-sex-wanted forums HIMSELF or B) say to me in IMs or Emails... which makes me a part owner of the information and able to approve its publication. Heck I only used his nickname, since he is so determined to continue using that nickname to cover his true identity... I have never published his address, phone or other information I have. Defamation is the term for a legal claim involving injury to reputation caused by false statements of fact and includes both libel (typically written or recorded statements) and slander (typically spoken statements). http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/risks-associated-publication Myself, James, Clover18, Jane and anyone else who blogs about their N/P ex is fine as long as they keep it to TRUTH and not things that could be used for identity theft.

He thinks he is so profound

I just wanted to give you some fun and inspirational qoutes from his twitter page. I didn't post his name or company bio, but I thought these were quite lovely, particularly coming from him. OMG, what a hypocrite! Enjoy and be inspired. This still gets to me a little; I admit it. Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don't keep it a secret. - Lifeinc. (wow, he sure kept it a secret from me) 4 things you can't recover, a stone after it's thrown, words after they're said, an opportunity that's past & time that's already spent. (He's right about that one) about 10 hours ago from Twitterrific It's truly amazing to see, when people cross that tipping point & begin to accept complete & eternal responsibility for their own happiness.- Lifeinc (Oh my, just like he took repsonsiblity) "There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true."~S. Kierkegaard 11:49 AM Jun 30th from web (I love this one, because it is so poignant for me to know about him) Ever notice that how you treat people in your life is the single, biggest factor in determining how people in your life will treat you?..Hmm (then he has some bad things coming his way) Kindness pays HUGE dividends, physically & spiritually always & 4ever! Live longer, laugh louder, be peace & Love ON! 4 a Life Incorporated 8:37 AM May 31st from web (my personal favorite) For all of his kindness to me and he actually uses the LOVE word. Something he knows nothing about. WOW! He thinks he is soooo profound.

Okay, I'm gonna hurl...sorry, this is such BS quote tripe. Oh, the irony too! How they can spew such crap with a straight face is beyond me. It would be funny to send quotes about narcs and psychos for him to see. Of course, he'd never get it.

Still mad about it

Somebody is going to find him out for who he is one of these days and it is going to cost him dearly. I found him out allright, but not until it was too late. I am just angry I didn't confront him sooner. I know it wouldn't have made a difference, but it would've saved me time and heartache and all the pitiful wanting him back. I actually sent him a sweet letter months after our breakup; I think in an attempt for him to respond, attempting to gain some closure. I know I have to let that go, but I am still a little angry at myself for seeming so damn pitiful. I cowered one last time. OMG that pisses me off. That's okay. My true revenge will be when I truly put my life back together and no longer am affected by him. GRRR! That day isn't today i guess.

stock phrases... the Narc's image

I really hope you put this dung beetle on the exposure sites... Psycho-Boy's twitter page has over 1000 people on it and his quote is "Highly Influential, Common Sense, Jewish Libertian" ROFLMAO -- http://www.cosmicwalk.co.za/games-phrases.html ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLICK HERE: Articles & information for abuse victims - Updated Daily "Some women can fake an orgasm.

Keeping it real

True, anything you blog must be able to be proven in a court of law. That’s why journaling and record keeping (documents) are so important and maintain throughout the process. If you embellish or mislead the truth that will come back to haunt you and possibly land you a fine. But we need to let others know about them unless others too become victims like ourselves. For me it’s my civil and moral duty too try to stop those who are nothing less then predators and emotional abusers. They are others ways to report them and still maintain it anonymously if one fears repercussion and will be put in harm ways. So please tell others in one form or another to try to stop their destructive and abusive rampage. There are others much like ourselves still unwise and unknowing about these type of people. http://datingpsychos.com/

exposing them is a moral & civic duty

For me it’s my civil and moral duty too try to stop those who are nothing less then predators and emotional abusers. I am in complete agreement here. FYI - I had a serious problem with JDog of Dating Psychos... http://www.complaintsboard.com/complaints/dating-psychos-dot-com-c180307.html ...looks like others did too. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ CLICK HERE: Articles & information for abuse victims - Updated Daily "Some women can fake an orgasm.

Thanks

Well for me personally I don't have a problem with whatever JDog does with this information which is why I use others sites for backups. As for my IP address, hey just ask and I will give it to anyone for free and save that person some money. http://james-personalitydisorder.blogspot.com/
