psy,
Would you be able to post your conversation with Mr. Huey in a separate thread?
Bob Peterson
It wasn't a written conversation. It was a conference call (i.e. telephone) between myself, Ginger, and Ken.
I can, however, tell you what was discussed if you ask me questions.
OK... how about this...
Did you or did you not call Ken Huey... or did he somehow initiate the call.
Can't remember. I think he suggested we should all talk after our email correspondence explaining our moderation policy. I suggested and set up a conference call.
When you spoke of these "philosophical" things, did you mention that you don't agree with the business he's running, that its unethical and a violation of the human and constitutional rights of the children in his care.
Yes. At length.
Did you explain that this poster may have had a justified reason to post these names, that he was trying to grant aid to these children by making their names available on google.
I explained that the poster was probably desperate, frustrated and angry but in my personal opinion, it was not justified, just as I have said publicly on the forum many times.
Did you or did you not first mention the DMCA?
At the time we had the call, he already knew about the DMCA, and indicated he would be sending one, so yes, in a sense, we had some forewarning.
Furthermore, this is one thing that I don't understand... when I spoke to you about a similar situation you were kinda a dick about it... at no time did you offer me any advice, let alone specific instructions, so why is it that you will give more respect and assistance to Ken Huey, our foe, than you will even consider giving to someone who should be considered your alli?
If you really want to bring that into it...
You had an issue about a statement of opinion about your Grandmother. You asked me to identify the poster (unless I misread). I refused before you could even finish typing. You suggested you would contact a lawyer and so on and so forth. I explained that what the person said, while insensitive and cruel, was clearly evaluative
opinion and not in the least bit actionable (though you were free to contact a lawyer who would tell you the same thing). You were too emotional to converse about much more at that point.
Need I go into detail. You demanded me to tell you a way to get the message taken down. I told you there WAS NONE and there still IS NONE. Just because the answer I gave you wasn't the one you wanted to hear doesn't mean I'm somehow at fault. I'm not your bitch to cator to your every want.
You should see the things posted about myself and my family. I don't get any special treatment either.
My opinion is that you went down like a $2 hooker, and you gave him all the information he SHOULD have spent thousands of dollars figuring out himself.
I understand you don't want a lawsuit on your hands, but you DID NOT have to give it up so easy.
Classy. Well. That's your opinion. I think both Ginger and myself have been tested on this issue many times. We
are not afraid of legal action. We made it clear to Ken that our position on the forum was not to moderate anything and that without a legal requirement, we could not remove those postings.
