as I was making statements to let others know that your threats are empty and unfounded. Go ahead and serve someone with some nonesense suit. They would end up having their attorneys counter sue for harassment. Does that make you scared??? ...of course not...because the whole thing is ridiculous...

Tom
Now you're a lawyer as well...Talk about a Jack of all trades.

You rent lawyers? I would have assumed with all your talk that there was at least one on board with you. You really should consider keeping one on staff. They can generally bring in enough money to sustain a salary.

You're a number cruncher, not an atty. How many libel cases have you gone over due to being a CPA?

Yes I throw my $.02 in.. all the time.... I should really stop doing this... it is really knocking down the balance of my bank account.... you wouldn't think it would...but with all the times I throw it in an MHP thread.... I am just hemoragging pennies at a time....but hey...I am the savior...you have to do what you have to do....

At this point I think we can both laugh at each others posts. You may be a CPA but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Really? Who else have we threatened to sue? You also don't see any of our unhappy customer threads being deleted from this site either. We've never had to pay for as many legal hours as we have this year, ironic really.

Yeah we hade some issues with vendors modifying threads over at mymb. One solution is to have vendor dedicated and public rooms. You could have an MHP room that you moderate yourself and keep the haters out. It would be a haven for your clients.
