You cannot be guilty of "libel" by giving your nastiest opinion about how a company treated you. Libel is when you knowingly convey *false* information that damages the reputation of a company. If you convey your own experience, from your own opinionated position, even if you're wildly abusive about it, that's not libel. *I can call your company all sorts of nasty names that's not libel, and I can say how horrible you are, that's not libel. If I say the president of the company murdered his first wife, that's libel. *If it's false. *It's not libel, if its true. Any other red herrings to throw out? |

Oh boy yet another Internet wannabe lawyer! While I make no pretense at being one (and reiterate that I am in no way associated with BookMasters, Inc. beyond being an ex-employee), the slightest amount of critical thinking might show: Libel is when you knowingly convey *false* information that damages the reputation of a company. If you convey your own experience, from your own opinionated position, even if you're wildly abusive about it, that's not libel. If ones own opinionated position consists of false (quoted or not) information then ... |

You might note that Kevin made some very specific accusations in the document that you are offering publicly. The intent to do harm could quite well be bolstered by the fact that he knowingly registered several domain names with the intent of spreading his falsehoods. |
|
While I have zero knowledge of Kevin's particular business, my knowledge of the people who own and operate BookMasters makes me think that he (Kevin) will never be able to prove the falsehoods he claims: That BookMasters fraudulently invoiced him for shipments and returns that they did not actually ship and receive. Because I am 99.9999999% confident that they did no such thing. Yes, he might get off by pleading ignorance (the inability to read and comprehend his contracts and statements). |
|
As I also said I seriously doubt if BookMasters would bother with libel action against someone like this. I do feel that Kevin's pubic spewing of falsehoods aimed at damaging a company could very well constitute libel, but I don't pretend to be an attorney. |

It is reassuring that so many here stand ready to buy a completely unsubstantiated story however, I leave you with an appropriate description: Have fun y'all, * -Tom |

My friends, "Tom" has taken it upon himself to register the .org of my domain name and, with no other complaint but this dialogue, to use this site to "warn" others of my many sins. Personally, I find it entertaining and not the least bit concerning. Bravo, man. Thank you for helping my cause!! |

People are really strange. |

Kevin, that sounds horrible. The website was a great idea. Perhaps you could do some 'programming' for them. |

Strange enough to think that a company can be blackmailed into hiring someone who has made it clear in a public (albeit small and obscure) forum that he intends them harm? Or simply strange enough to make thinly veiled threats of sabotage in a public (albeit small and obscure) forum? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3CHi_9sxj0 Carry on. -Tom |
