Topic : 01/01 Revenge of the Exes

we live in America-like dr phil said, there are tabloids that write about him everyday, is he going to sue all of them,

this egotistical attorney is not going to win-he's fighting a losing battle with the first amendment freedom of speech and tasha's right, she didn't AUTHOR the posting

he needs to move on, get over it, no employer is not going to hire him because of some posting they got from a google website on dontdatehim.com-they won't hire him b/c he's not QUALIFIED-and he might be great attorney and in America, you can find an attorney to sue for anything-whether its frivilous or not=

I hope Tasha gets her attorney fees paid from him b/c she has to legally fight this ridiculous lawsuit

Question: did you read any previous posts? As an owner and operator of a site designed by you, you have a resposibility to MONITOR them whether you AUTHORED them or not.

Not sure, maybe we live in different places but HEADHUNTERS here, will not hire you based on findings, whether true or not, sad but true! For the people who think that employers don't make judgement calls based off internet findings, many do and this I know for a FACT!!

Wow...seems to be many scorned women here, you truly do set yourself apart by your posts:)

I'd just like to speak specifically about this man Todd and this case that he's claiming is causing him trouble and denying him happiness.

First of all, I'd like to address Dr.Phils question about being able to acknowledge the pain that this may have caused this man. It is very clear that this/these postings have caused this man Todd some pain. Whether or not they've actually caused him enough pain and sufferening that he's taking claim to is in question. I believe that these postings were stupid, un-noticeable, and easily deniable [as i saw no picture posted with his name]. Moreover, since he was smart enough to "Hire a private investegator" and find out who these women are/were then he should have gone after them to take these postings down themselves. If he is the upstanding man that he claims to be then these women would have probably done so and his name would not be publicized as it is now all over in the name of "defame".

Secondly, I see nothing wrong with this site. I've seen women do way worse things to get revenge. Venting on a website on the internet is a form of justice...hahahah I would like to see it used in a court of law as punishment. I think defining the term cheating and breaking it down is the true heartache here. If cheating were assigned the equivalent of a misdemeanor then this website would be of the like of sites which posts sex offenders in your area for your information. I believe in free domain when it comes to the internet. However, boundaries should be drawn so that it is fair to both sides. All in all, in this case this dude just validated the nature of these "untrue" and "ridiculous" statements by making such a big deal about them and bringing the nations attention to it and himself. Before today I had NEVER heard of him nor of this website. I was actually thinking of making such a website myself [although nothing ever came of the site because i didn't think people would concur lol boy was i wrong]. Since there are so many dating websties on the internet it would only balance the planet if the complete opposite existed as well lol haha Seriously :P

All in all, I don't believe that this man should get any money from this. He brought a large amount of the negative unecessary attention on himself. I think that the website should just be ordered to take down the statments which are PROVEN to speak specifically of him and if he feels he can't stop crying after the statements are removed then shall his picture be posted and a few comments of praise be written about him on the same site suggesting that he's a great guy after all ahahhaha :T

Take care all

I found that revenge is not as sweet as it sounds.  You make yourself sick with hate, anger and jealousy.  Who suffers?  certainly not the exe because s/he couldn't care less what you think or do anymore.  The only person you can change is yourself and how you react to and behave in the situation.  The best way to gain that revenge is to get on with your life and move on, don't wallow in self-pity, because it serves no purpose other than make you miserable while the exe is out having fun. 

Yes, I'm responsible thanks.  But i don't own or operate a website, either.

I agree that its a moral/ethical responsibility to edit these posts.  Obviosly you'd want to. I agree that she SHOULD edit it.

But does the law REQUIRE her to?  Does anyone know the laws regarding websites?  I'm just thinking out of the box here to see if she is indeed liable for this.

I am having a hard time with this one. On one aspect I agree with her but on another I agree with Todd. I believe that maybe she should  have her web site designed so that if you post something that is not true then the person posting it can be held responsible.

Let's stop and think about what happens when someone posts something that is not true... it can ruin their life over something not true. Think about it this way. You go on a date, you fall head over heels for this guy... he is not feeling the same way. He breaks up with you and you go on the site and post untrue things about him. It could ruin his life, his career and any further relationships... come on how fair is that. Would you like that to happen to you.

If what was posted about Todd being not true look at what it could do to him... he's a lawyer and it could ruin his career.

I believe that any web site should have someway to track the person who post's and hold them responsible for faults posting. One problem I believe is that people do not get to know the person who they are dating good enought before believing what they are saying and trust the person way to soon. Let's use common sense when dating.
