Whee. Love this stuff.
So, this guy shows up the other day and posts some weird, press-release sounding thread about some musician. It sounds like he's probably promoting something, it's bizarre, doesn't smell right, etc. And I've since found the same thing posted on other forums, so he's clearly just not some guy who wants to talk about this obscure musician.
Anyway, to be on the safe side, I remove it, but decide not to ban him. I got this email a few minutes ago:
Oh yes. You read correctly: COURT! I am going to be sued for exercising my right to decide what does or does not go on the message board I own. Brilliant. Here was my reply:
It's kind of unsettling how good a mood this has put me in.

Chris:
Before we end up in Court, explain why you removed my posting about [redacted].
My lawyer has been notified of your conspiracy. He is standing by.

I don't believe for a moment that you've notified "your lawyer," and I could not care less if you have. My website is private property, and you have absolutely no claim on what's posted on it. Like, at all. I'm sure this sort of bluster frightens some people into giving into your demands, but I'm afraid it won't work here.
I would've gladly explained why I chose to remove it, but since this is the route you've chosen to take (as opposed to simply, you know, asking), I don't think I will.
I'm looking forward to never receiving what would certainly be a completely toothless legal threat from your probably fictional lawyer.
Regards,
Chris
