Live Fast, Die Young: The Life and Times of Harry Greb

And a sad moment :(

I highly doubt any sort of Lawsuit will have any merit to be honest. I mean Klompton came on here in an effort to promote his book...well he didn't pay the site for any advertisement so I don't see how they're responsible if the free promotion for his book didn't go the way he had planned.

I would urge you to research prior case law.

I've just read through all the thread; it was pretty friendly until page 5 and it's not all that bad tempered compared to some threads/posts.

Thats because some of it has been edited.

You realize you are as much at fault for hurting the sales of your book for behaving the way you have as Il Duce would be right?

I would think a respectable Author, and reasonably intelligent man wouldn't have got into such ridiculous arguments consistently with Duce. It would be one thing if he came on here, and just insulted everything about your book for no real reason, but when you were drawing the insults out of him by taking the bait and participating in his incredibly stupid arguments you were every bit as responsible for them as he was.

You don't have a case.

[DaveyMac]

klompton - you researched and wrote a highly thought of book and you've allowed yourself to become upset by someone who went out of their way to upset you. That's not Box Buzzs or Johns fault, it's yours.

Put Il Duce on ignore or laugh off his comments.

You're coming across as a bit of a dick (don't sue me).

There is a difference between letting someone upset you and letting someone get away with spreading lies about your work that can affect its success. Had Duce simply offered a valid criticism this wouldnt be an issue. Instead he lied and did so without ever having read the book. Let me come to your work and spread slander about you. No? I didnt think so. It was brought to John and Buzz' attention numerous times and nothing was done. I have contributed to both this forum and website, trying to be helpful whenever possible. Duce has never done anything productive on this forum and has never contributed anything to the website. He has been solely a disruptive force spreading lies, trolling, and attacking anyone who corrects him. He continues with the slander towards my work and so now Im doing what I have to do. If thats being a dick then I would hope anyone in my situation would be a dick. Its one thing to insult me personally, thats fine, but to spread lies about my WORK is a completely different issue and one which is protected under the law. Simply sitting back and allowing it to happen because you are entertained by it could be perceived as being complicit, I dont know, we will find out soon though. Anyone who wants to shed a tear over my response obviously hasnt worked hard on a labor of love anytime in their life.

Agreed 100%

I think the free publicity argument hits the spot just about perfectly

I'll start taking legal advice from you when you attend law school, finish, and pass the bar. Until then I'll go with my attorney.

Without going into this too deeply all I have to prove is that Duce made a false statement about my book. Check. That the statement could harm the sales of my book. Check. That the statement was made without any prior research into the truthfulness of the statement or that the statement was knowingly false. Check. Pretty open and shut. Now go and look at all of the successfully litigated slander/libel cases featuring anonymous internet users on forums such as Topix, Reddit, etc. Including places that openly allow and foster self promotion (sorry but thats no defense). Anyone thinking I dont have a case has their head up their ass. Anyway Im done talking about it. Its pointless until things start moving along.

Ask Yelp if thats an adequate defense...

klompton! klompton! klompton!

[dberry]

Klompton, you fornicating cocksucker. I was about to order your book (thanks for posting your email address) until I read the last page of this thread, I will now rubbish you verbally to all who mention buying your book.
You have come on here and advertised your book, freely, too, I might add, and I'm pretty sure you would have used boxrec, again, at no cost to yourself, to research your book. No, after being upset by some faceless troll you threaten to sue the owner of said site as well as an unpaid moderator? Like a bratty child who can't get one's own way?! To even entertain that thought is despicable. If this is the real you than how can any one have enough faith in you to buy anything you write?
You could just as well have not come on here to scum free advertising , as you clearly have, instead buying an advertising space that is not open to reply, have a good,.hard look at yourself.

[Bobbyptsd]

Has anyone said: "Well, that escalated quickly" yet?

Because I haven't looked at the whole thread, and I want it to be cool and funny when I say it.

[Bobbyptsd]

I can't see the point of using an ignore button - the people I like to hear the less from are prob the people I ought to listen to more.

Sorry for going back three pages to fish this out, but I just wanted to say this is probably one of the most concisely insightful things I've ever read on Boxrec.

You fvcker.

[Clint Magnum]

Duce should be banned for life he is a trouble maker with no actual input except lies and wind up posts.

x2 He's a pudendum & oxygen thief.

[dberry]

Hang on a second, that pudendum, klompton should get the arse for threatening to sue the site, if it goes ahead, say good bye to this forum, if it financially hurts John Shep then it may well affect the future of the data base. Even if the total prick doesn't follow through, it may well affect the forum. And this bitch will have used the data base for research for his book, and has been using the forum as free advertising for said book. He gets trolled a little, attempts to go toe to toe, loses and throws all his toys out of his pram. Screw him, ban him for even threatening to sue the forum.

I doubt it's the first time this site has dealt with lawsuits or potential lawsuits though Daz. I think Mr F warren a certain boxing promoter over here in the UK has tried that tact before.

Yeah, Fwank has threatened it, sure, and look at the sanctions now on mentioning his name?! I can't even rightfully mention how he never paid my friend, Barry Micheal for his fight against Rocky Lockridge.
Now this goose is threatening this crap, even if he doesn't follow through he has proven to be a low prick, and this will affect the forum.

Does Il Duce not affect the forum?? Say what you will he (il Duce) certainly divides opinion!

Yes, you're right, he does, but not due to tightening of the screws by the owner, who apparently already thinks the forum is not worth the effort and headache.

[lefty]

Let's all sue one another. I'm gonna get one of those free claims lawyers on a no win, no fee basis....
