It looks like a case of "Pot ... Kettle ... Black" to me at this point.

It seems that someone claimed that their copyright was infringed upon, when in actuality it was they who had infringed upon someone else's copyright.

Sweet!

messygeek is breaking TOS by having two accounts. He was banned as TheZach for posts like this:

You told her to take him off the drugs and said the child was in danger. So shut the hell up. Your just another one of those as*holes that tells people that all medications are worthless. So shut the f**k up and f**k with your own head, not with others you piece of sh**.

Wrong, I'm trying to enforce my rights on intellectual property, all you have to do is remove the offending intellectual property.

I'm sorry that Alex plank thinks that he is above the law. I'm finding out that this is not the first occurrence of him attempting to bully other autistic people into giving up their intellectual rights.

yet you are here,with an illegal account on his private website which you have been continually banned because you do not think the rule apply to you, breaking rules by personally attacking him. It would seem even you would appreciate the irony of it all.

This seems, to me, like another vain attempt at getting WrongPlanet shut down, and as WP is one of the biggest Aspie/Autie sites in the world (in fact I thin it is THE biggest), then shutting it down could be disasterous for a lot of people who need the support offered in such a place as well as ruining fun for a lot of people too, people actually enjoy this place, I'm sure Alex will fight this to the end best he can

If the person who IS trying to do this is renowned for causing trouble then it may be that they are just doing this to cause trouble

What the hell, messygeek? You're being petty. You linked to a news story in News and Current Events. It is customary in that subforum to copy and paste (with attribution) all or a portion of the news story in question. No one is violating copyright laws here. You are the one who first posted that content on WP. And even if some obscure copyright law does apply here, how have your intellectual rights been attacked? What, simply because you can find some petty technicality to use against someone? In what way have you been harmed by that posting?

EDIT: Since Mr. Lassiter is known to be a troll here and in violation of WP TOS, one solution could be to permaban him and remove all posts and threads by him. Since the alleged "copyright infringement" was on an obviously baited thread he started, this would eliminate any such legal problems in addition to dealing with an [edited by sinsboldy]

That last one wasn't even a curse word. And you left in the curse word in the first sentence.

I am sorry that you think everyone is against you, they just aren't. If you attack people, then claim to be the victim then you can expect them to turn against you.

Most likely Alex is blissfully unaware this is going on. Where is the evidence he has bullied you?
