Yet more (empty, hollow, blustering) legal threats

So, once again, I start to build a page, and the subject of the page threatens to sue the site in his opening email:

http://www.2012hoax.org/rants#toc33

Listen, Donny, you're not a lawyer. You may have had some success (and some failures) on YouTube with bogus DMCA notices, but this isn't YouTube. The content of the page is commentary/criticism of your claims, and as such is covered by the "Fair Use" exception.

His post:

I have been slandered and false statement have been written about me on this forum and within this site.

So he has proof that a Brown dwarf did get near Earth in 22 March 2012 and did flip the poles as he claimed?

Edit: He protect his site to prevent it gets in Google caches.

Who does he think gets HURT when people make these claims about the world ending? It is infuriating and insulting to hear "You hurt my feelings" from the person responsible for kids threatening and in some cases succeeding in committing suicide. If he ever found a judge brain-dead enough to actually hear his "case" I would make sure that there were a lot of parents in the jury and ready to be witnesses to "explain" to him just WHO is really being hurt.

Fortunately, only a few more months and he will have to go back to burning the fries at McDonald's.

These clowns continue to be a laugh-a-minute. I think there should be a comedy film starring Terral, Donny, Turn-Tail Trevor and Pane Andov. They all meet each other on Facebook and discover a hidden Truth after pooling their vast collective knowledge. One hilarious calamity follows another as they try to stay one step ahead of the Illuminati, while keeping their legions of mindless followers enraptured. Eventually, the quartet suffers a nasty split as Donny and Andov sue the other two for copyright infringement, and then Donny and Andov sue each other for quoting one another in the first suit. Later, when doomsday comes and goes uneventfully, they all discover that Nancy Lieder engineered the whole thing from the start. Nancy is the "Illuminati," and she wants their market share for her next scheduled doomsday.

You can add Earthplay to your cast for the film. Months ago he said he was taking legal action against being "slandered" by 2012hoax. Nothing has surfaced of course.

Well, as I recall, you offered to correct any errors/mis-statements, and were booted for your trouble.

What these jokers don't realize is that by offering to correct any errors we have set up an affirmative defense against any civil actions. We can show that we tried, by requesting additional information, to portray them accurately, and by their inaction or refusal to supply the requested information, that they helped to create the situation and/or prevented the situation from being resolved.

Their lawyers (should one of them ever actually get around to trying to hire one) would explain this to them in terms they would understand: "Dude, you have no case!"

Those are very good points. I'll read up on affirmative defense.

There is one thing he is very good at. By producing video clips and making sure that nothing gets transcribed into text does he avoid that there exists a history that can be traced by Google.

However I found this blog:

I give up. I get brain damage from looking at his clips.
What is really scary is that people actually follow this guy.

Just a waste of time to debunk him. He is not worth the attention.

His post:

So this site will get free exposure :-)

Yikes, seems like we've made Don-Don angry now haven't we? Legal action!? Pfft hah! That's a laugh I haven't had in a while, Freedom Of Speech anyone? I was just recently called by a doomsday nut after I debunked him on Yahoo news on a 2012 article. I was screamed/cussed out. My only response to him was.

Him:"If you're such a big f(bleep)ing big shot and you're "Oh so smart" then maybe you can come on down to Florida and I can kick your sorry ass!

Me: Well, I honestly have no intention of coming to "Florida" so you can physically harm me. I will say that we can resume this "threat talk" when I have the police present. You know, if that's what you want.

him: F(bleep) off…

and then he hung up. Laughable isn't it?

Eeyup, should have thought that one through a little more…Eeh, I don't care. I'm lucky enough not to have ever been threatened of death. All I've gotten are about 8 nasty emails. A virus hidden in an email. (Which I had to actually open up the command console to find and eliminate) and one phone call.
