    Identity theft

    Be it known that someone is using my registered DBA and trademark (QFIT) to post on another forum pretending to be me.

    Normally, one must attain the stature of a legendary "Honest Abe" Lincoln or an Erik "Houdini" Weisz for people to adopt their "handles." I have not seen the posts you are talking about, but I trust we are not talking about the adulation of an avid fan.

    Please don't take this the wrong way, Norm. But why do you read that forum? Are you learning any AP moves over there?

    Moo, I have no choice. They are using my real name, hundreds of times, to post that I am a pedophile, terrorist partly responsible for 9/11, mass murderer, I defraud my customers, turn players into casinos, make money by hiding the “truth” about Ebola, and on and on. This is coming up on two years now. People use Google to look up prospective clients. I am the only person with my name in the country. Would you hire a pedophile? They are also personally harrassing me. Hacking my VBulletin account. Telling insane conspiracy nuts to contact me. Death threats. Three extortion attempts. Further, they are violating both my copyrights and trademark. Under the law, if you do not defend IP rights, you can lose them. One must do what one can to defend themselves and their family from evil. Frankly, I can't understand why anyone supports such an evil site by posting there.

    They are not men. They are evil weasels that have to form a gang to feel like men. They have no concept what being a man means. Usually the weak and cowardly do these types of things to feel strong or courageous. It is basic psychology. The rub is that only other weak, cowardly people do not see this as weak and cowardly. They see the world as a reflection of themselves (as does everyone else) and they do them same to compensate for their shortcomings so cowardly behavior seems courageous to them. A real man is capable of acting from a position of power and destruction but only does so when all else fails. A real man doesn't do that for sport. That is what you call a bully and bullies are almost always cowards and/or people that lack the skills to deal with situations like a man so they act like an animal.

    I've had posters threaten to cut my head off and gay rape me. It's the internet. I don't see any point in reading it. Who the hell cares what people are saying? Unless you're planning to take action and you need to document it, I just don't see why you want to put yourself through the aggravation.

    I agree. If there is any real damage being done to reputation or livelihood, it would be a legal issue and a legal remedy could be pursued. With all the threats against Ken, I don't think any real damage was done to either, although the psychic pain inflicted may have been the cause of his closing his forum. Bullies have resulted in some kids committing suicide, but we're talking about adults here, and I don't see any danger of Norm taking his life over lies and innuendo from non-credible sources.

    Sorry, but you are incorrect. Actual, serious, monetary damage was caused.

    This would require large amounts of money and years of effort.

    Could you describe the monetary damages (I'm talking about Ken)? Was the decision to cease operations due to the monetary damages, or was the decision to cease operations the monetary damage itself?

    I've not visited that site but why would they have that much hatred for you? More than one person?

    Before me, it was Ken Smith. And, they have restarted their attacks against Ken even though it's been something like three years since he shut off his forum. If I shut down, they'll likely turn their hatred on someone else. Two of them said "site wars are fun". That's just plain sick.
