Sometimes I decide not to post certain things, even though I am thinking them, because it is probably for the best.

I'm still shocked someone voted for the For? option. All the other options are logical. Any chance someone from VIP is registered here?

Are you suggesting a VIP-er in our midst?

I am. I have a hard time believing Michael L. Lovitz has enough time to be checking out web sites such as this one. I know I sound like a conspiracy theorist, but it makes you wonder how he found us.

This site represents material that will be crucial to this court case involving his client. When it comes to VALIANT, this is THE site to go to, period & end of discussion. I don't think he'd be much of a lawyer if he didn't know what was happening here.

Well we know there is someone from or for VIP around here. Lovitz has quoted people from this board in the newsarama article.
Lovitz wrote:“Back in 2005, following Newsarama’s reporting, I received questions from several people identifying themselves as fans of the old Voyager ‘Valiant’ comic line. I was more than happy to answer questions that did not have to compromise my duties to my client. I took the questions as being from fans at face value. Unfortunately, whether intentionally or not, there followed numerous posts on fan sites which (if memory serves) either misquoted me or misrepresented my answers. In addition, there were posts made to Valiant fan forums which proposed violence against my clients and physical assaults directed to me during my presentations at the San Diego Comic-Con International – posts such as these:


’First, kick Lovitz as hard as you can in the nuts. Then ask: ‘Seriously, does that hurt?’ ‘

‘Shall I get my torches and pitchforks ready?’

‘Grab Lovitz by the nuts. Toss him out the window.’

‘I want to know the facts. When available if it is as bad as we think, I will drive us all over to stink bomb their houses.’

‘Their lawyers name is Michael Lovitz and I believe somebody has his address in Philadelphia. There's a VALIANT Gold on its way to you if you do punch him in the guts.’
”In my personal opinion, this was done by a small but vocal group of fans. For example, several fans stated on Valiant fan forums that a gentleman by the name of ‘Dino’ was posting under several different user names. It was later confirmed that Dino was in fact associated with the Kothari Group. Based on that, it appears to me that these threats, misstatements and misrepresentations were all a deliberate attempt to manipulate the Valiant fan boards and mislead the fans as to the actual rights they had purchased.

It's not a personal attack, it's an interpretation of DJ's actions following the alteration of the post.

Eh, this has nothing to do with jealousy, this is about his unjustly altering a post that was clearly a joke that went over his head.

Maybe so. I knew exactly what movie you were quoting. Again, it does no good to keep bringing it up. :thumb:

Sure it does.

It makes me feel good to make fun of cowards with power who abuse it, which is what Daniel did.

And until he apologizes for it, I'm going to keep making fun of what he did because it was unjust, unncessary, and clearly done out of fear.

Yeah, you can google valiant comics and find this site. But as a lawyer, I can almost guarantee you this, VIP is not his only client. I know many lawyers at top business law firms. Only 1 client, and chances are you suck as a lawyer. Yes, he could have come here on a whim. But to sit here and read through any and every post takes resources. I'm unemployed and spend tons of time reading everything. Try working a job where you spend much of your time NOT in front of a PC. I doubt he has that much time to waste. I still think someone, maybe a lurker, is spying for VIP.

That's just not a wise idea. I like ZWH and no offense to him but right now you sound like him. Guess where he is?

My guess is the ones who ARE banging the hell out of hot chicks have better things to do that post about it.

And the ones that are post about other stuff, because, well, there is a reason they aren't banging the hell out of hot chicks.
