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.schi0249 wrote:I am. I have a hard time believing Michael L.

Well we know there is someone from or for VIP around here. Lovitz has quoted people from this board in the newsarama article.X-O HoboJoe wrote:Are you suggesting a VIP-er in our midst?schi0249 wrote:I'm still shocked someone voted for the For? option. All the other options are logical. Any chance someone from VIP is registered here?
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.

There was nothing in the post that justified editing or deletion other than DJ being scared of hurting Lovitz' feelingsRubiks-Q-Bert wrote:As a moderator DJ has the right to edit and/or delete anything he feels is in bad taste. Greg gave him that power because he trusts him. So complaining about your posts being edited or deleted does not do any good. Argueing with the moderator is not a good idea anyways. Your choice. Have fun with that.

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.Rubiks-Q-Bert wrote:Alot of good it's doing you to keep complaining about it.

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.

My guess is the ones who ARE banging the hell out of hot chicks have better things to do that post about it.X-O HoboJoe wrote:You ever notice how few message boards are dedicated to banging the hell outta hot chicks? Guess those guys have better things to do.
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.
