You make it so hard to resist. I love people who obviously are on some type of vendetta. Guess what - I have spent some of my free time today doing - boning up on copyright law. Turns out that I work for a law firm that has one of the nation's best intellectual property law departments in the nation. Plus did a little research. Still a long way from an expert. And guess what - you are not the expert you think you are. Dr. Bob is actually quite right - this area of law is very complex - very much depends which court you are in and what month it is. And I am sure I can find an expert that will say just the opposite of your's -- you have seen it on TV -- a great case of dueling experts -- made for the courtroom. Which will the jury believe? In this courtroom -- that is Psycho-Babble - I bet mine will bring in the verdict.
You might be successful in driving a few people away from this site - but not many. Instead, you just make me and others more thankful for it - more thankful that Dr. Bob and stjames and Cam W. and SalArmy4me and elizabeth and on and on and care enough to try to help get some information spread about. Some of it is helpful, some harmful, all to be taken with a grain of salt.
As I said earlier, if you are so concerned, contact the owner of the site - which, as Dr. Bob pointed out, you are probably doing. Posting of these threats and big sounding words - what is it you are really trying to accomplish? From my viewpoint it does just look like some big, bad vendetta - obviously, you are not welcome here, but come again, and again to this site you come.
Cam W. is right - I should just ignore you. What was it back in grade school when a person was teasing you the teacher said? Just ignore the person and they would leave you alone. Well, that never totally worked - and this isn't quite the same, because I feel no shame. Instead, I just shake my head as I laugh.
At the same time I really feel sorry for you. Obviously, you are very angry at Dr. Bob for something. Here is another area I am no expert at (except my own problems) - but you are disturbed and need help - to be so obsessed to be on such a mission. Go help someone that is more in need. This site and these journals don't need your protection. Go be a big brother or big sister. Donate some of your time you spend monitoring this site at a homeless shelter. Take a meal to a homebound senior citizen. You will feel a lot better. And you know, stjames and I and the rest of us will still be trying to find the right meds to get our heads together, or trying to figure out if we can go smoke some weed without having the feds breathing down our necks to dull our nausea.
Good luck with your volunteer work.
