Stolen Horse--Man is BACK in jail!

[averytds]

I do understand that they are a small business and in general rely on a very small audience in which to survive. They therefore pander to that audience. I get it, I really do. They are not the first business (thanks to the internet), that this has happened to, nor will they be the last. There are several things they could have done to insulate themselves from the onslaught and protect their general revenue stream, all while enjoying the extra ad revenue. Any 15 yr old within a 20 mile radius with a Youtube account willing to help?

The fact that they continually chide others about educating themselves on the legal system and then turn around to commit the same alleged violations I find absolutely mind boggling. You can edit all you want, but once anything is posted online, you'll never be able to guarantee someone somewhere hasn't saved the original and/or taken screenshots.

For a concerned business to openly commit the very violations they are supposedly working so very hard to avoid....

I got the "validate this address" form letter from them, and filed a rather terse response since I did not know who it was from. I was doing a short e-mail sort and normally wouldn't have answered something like that. After the quick sort, I reread my e-mail and noticed who it was from, and wrote a response. It may have been nastier than I intended simply because the wording of the their e-mail made me mad. It seemed a like the sort snotty "who are you" you sometimes get when someone has dialed your phone number by mistake. A sentence of introduction would have helped, "I'm Kim P. from the TDN, could you help me, please"; would have gotten a more civil response from me.

It was interesting to come here and see that I was not the only one who got this letter. I suspect that they are unused to this kind of attention, and that if someone had thought about it for longer than a few moments, the e-mail would have been different. I'm actually surprised that it did not go straight to my spam folder.

I agree 100% with the first part, but wouldn't take the bet on the 2nd.

What I don't get is why they are bothering to verify email addresses when they deleted all the comments from view.

ROPO-

Here is a link to Judge Judy. I don't think it would hurt to see if they would tackle the case. You need a different jurisdiction for justice to prevail.

Sounds like a lot of work for 5 people.​

{EDITOR'S NOTE: We have received more than 20 comments from what appears to be the same IP address. Though we have posted a couple of these comments, we will not post the rest of them because they are redundant.}

Think that might have put that idea in there heads?​

Well, yeah, I thought that went without saying. They are definitely inciting people to think that. I have said it like 20 times, it is all so obvious and transparent. They are trying to make it out like this is one crazy person creating all the drama. This newspaper is quite obviously not impartial. That seems to be pretty well established, at least here.

I just got more e-mails directed to Kim.P
Check the e-mail address before you send. I bet they are using my e-mail along with others to redirect replies.

if this keeps up they are going to be in so much trouble. The address in the heading is her address but is coming to me.

Exactly! An impartial and professional paper that was not trying to incite would have left out the part in bold and/or just turned off all comments on those stories.​
