Hot rod forums under attack!

[Dave Severson]

Wow!!!
I have not seen fighting like this since way back.
Give me some cause I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired, HA! HA! HA!
The last time I seen this much action was when HEAD said something about
Liquid Oxygen in 02-04-04.

Sure makes funny reading now though.
I think I may have said some thing's that were not very nice. Sorry Kurt.

Tell ya what, Kurt..... I wasn't scared til Don threatened to kick the Kat....Bill called the SPCA and Don hasn't been back online yet.... Hope Dan fed the cat!!!!!!

Dave;
Don’s probably to busy locking the doors, closing the curtains and disconnecting the phone’s.
Just in case Bill was not joking. HE! HE! HE! Kurt

[Centerline]

Sorry Uncle Bill, just had to air the other side of that story out of fairness.

BTW Centerline, not afraid to tell you my user name, it was Donsrods.

Don

No sweat. I actually edited that request out of the post but someone quoted it before I finished my edit.

I understand your problems with Jon but I don't believe there is anything in the wiki that isn't true. Some is opinion of course but for Streetbeast to file suit to squash information that is part of the public record (that we just compiled and put in one place) is a threat to all of us. The wiki is just like any forum and people's opinions are reflected there just as they are here. If the courts uphold Streetbeast's suit then just about any company will feel free to go after any forum where someone posts something derogatory about their product. They won't be able to get monetary damages but unless a form administrator is willing to invest a big pile of money to fight them the alternative is that whatever is posted will wind up being removed to settle the suit, which by the way is exactly why the suit would have been filed in the first place. This in essence takes away our right to free speech.

Just asking for you guys to support our fight to keep this from happening to anyone in the future.

Ok, I DIDN'T really kick the cat, I just tore some tags off of my pillows instead. Any minute I expect the FEDS to come busting down my door and dragging me off in shackles.

I'm a rebel, I tell ya.

.........I'm still laughing about the liquid O2..............

[Dave Severson]

It's nothing more or less then a civil litigation....a lawyer's involved version of small claims court.....

The 1st amendment deals with freedom of speech, religion, and assembly as it referes to people and groups vs. the government... No individual can deprive another of free speech, but when libel, slander, and defamation is alleged by one party or the other a civil court case can be a result... It really has nothing to do with any first amendment rights..... The first amendment and in general the entire Bill of rights concerns the people vs. the government, not people vs. people... Waving the flag and the constant mention of freedom of speech is a misnomer here, and IMO nothing more then a scare tactic using key words to incite others to donate to a cause that is only a civil matter!!!!!!!!! Neither the federal or state government has denied or seeks to deny anyone involved their freedom of speech.....

.........I'm still laughing about the liquid O2..............

Yup, the LOX thread was a real laugher!!! It sure did get a lot of mileage though!!!!!!

[Dave Severson]

Here's the 1st Amendment in the Bill of Rights, courtesy of a law revue article at Cornell University:


Bill of Rights
Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Dave your quite the statesman. I am very impressed by what you've said tonight.
Don always a gentleman we knew you didn't kick the cat, but the pilows, oh my!
No idea of who street beasts is. I'd like to think there is a major difference between stating an opinion like say Summit Rocks, or Dorman uses funky seals, but come through in the end, would be ok. Since it's an individual's perception.
On the other hand attacking anyones personal buisness is prone to get you sued unless your careful. Glad we all get along so well here!

[stovens]

Before starting the build of a 34 coupe back in 2005,I researched the various Mgrs. and all the forums .I found most forums input was negative toward Street Beasts. I decided to go another route.

Even after all that research MATT167 said my car looked like a Street Beast.

I ask,is it to late to sue Matt167? LOL,LOL

I admitted I made an amature mistake, calling your car a streetbeast, that was a while ago.. why bring it back up?
