Topic : 01/01 Revenge of the Exes

 I'M 50/50 ON THIS TOPIC. I THINK TODD DOES HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE UPSET FOR THE POSTING AGAINST HIM. I ALSO THINK THAT TASHA IS NOT FULLY TO BLAME, HER SITE IS A GOOD IDEA, MAINLY FOR WOMEN THAT ARE LOOKING FOR A GOOD GUY. TODD IS A GOOD LOOKING GUY AND MAY BE USING IT TO HIS ADVANTAGE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF NAIVE WOMEN. THIS PERSON WHO POSTED THIS DID NOT DO THIS FOR NO REASON AND MAYBE HE FINALLY TO ADVANTAGE OF THE WRONG PERSON.. AND OBVIOUSLY DOES NOT LIKE IT.

DR.PHIL, JUST LIKE THIS MESSAGE BOARD AND OTHER SITES LIKE MYSPACE. ANYONE CAN POST THEIR MESSAGES AGAINST ANYONE. JUST LIKE OTHERS  ARE POSTING AGAINST TASHA, THAT SHOULDN'T MAKE YOU OR THAT OTHER COMPANY LIABLE.

TODD JUST NEEDS TO GET OVER IT AND MOVE ON.  MAYBE THE TRUTH HURTS

Tasha, the creator and owner of the website, dontdatehimgirl.com, has found a profitable loophole in our laws that otherwise disallows the press from printing slander and defamous information about private persons for profit.

True, the cyber net is not the press, but who can't deny that websites, blogs etc, have come to being as effective in broadcasting to and touching as many readers that our newspapers do?

Since the draw of attention to her website is based on the slander and defamation that is published, shouldn't there be a law requiring that those who publish such slander at least publish their identities as well? 

The press, with its power within America's media, is held accountable for its information because of its power over people's perceptions and opinions; shouldn't website's like Tasha's also be brideled as well?

It is the privacy, and the reputation of private people that are being taken and destroyed, and Tasha is profiting from these people's losses directly. 

its a shame what tasha has put todd through , that web site should be removed or someone should open up website "don't date her"

first of all when someone is upset a person doesn't think straight

i consider this slander and defamation of character

i don't understand how this can be legal

yes we do have the first amendment but a person needs to draw a line somewhere

i believe tasha is using this web site to release some anger from a past relationship

move on get over it

always remember what comes around goes around

The reality of the situation is that Todd is completely blowing this out of proportion.  Taking it to court and on national TV is only drawing attention to it.  I didn't even know about the website until I saw it on Dr. Phil.  So of course, I went and checked it out and got a good laugh.  Todd accused Tasha of keeping happiness from him because she would not remove the posting; but, many women that he would happen to encounter wouldn't have even heard of it if he wasn't using it for publicity.  Okay, so a woman calls you gay and says you have herpes.  I think if he wouldn't be on tv and in court it would die down, but he just keeps adding gas to the spark.  This is not Tasha's problem.  Its like sueing a bar for having your name on the bathroom wall...Todd, is there some truth to these accusations?  People will always have something to say about you.  In college, a guy I wouldn't go out with told another guy that I was interested in that I was a golddigger.  But that other guy got to know me for hisself.  I have been married to that guy for eight years.  Any woman worth having will not let this come in the way of getting to know you.
