According to Doug Heil of Ihelpyou.com Sphinn is the last place on earth. I really do not want to cite that crap. Then he goes on offending me personally.

As I am not new to flame wars and cat fights I really feel like it's 1997 again. I wrote the guy the nasty reply he deserves.

LOL - Doug again: the preacher man of poor white hat trash.

Good linkbait, maybe, Tad, but really below your level.

Then again, why are you slandering me - claiming you've been been "bashed by basically everybody out there": Don't recall ever having bashed you. So are you saying I'm a nobody?
Or that you want me to start off bashing you now? ROFL

That's Web 2.0 for you, yeah: Narcissus and his Web Mirror...

Perhaps Doug is still upset that I didn't accept his offer to join forces with him to "rid" me of his "pesky" IHY folks: http://www.threadwatch.org/node/8828#comment-44736

I have to admit, Mr. Hell has created a new angle to link baiting...piss them off and they'll link back to him.

Ok, lets add a new one of these mystery "hats" to our industry:

Whitehat = Followers
Greyhat   = Leaders
Blackhat  = Risk Takers
(new one)
Douchehat = http://www.ihelpyou.com/forums/member.php?u=1

Yer just downright evil Danny.

And I mean that in a good way (which is how I know you'd take it being the dark arts master of SEO after all ;)

As interesting at this little tid bit was, I simply won't sphinn anything about sphinn. It just defeats the whole purpose in my mind.

@Gamermk: Hey, what do you think all these social networking bookmarking web 2.0 community folksonomy wisdom of the crowd swarm intelligence sites are all about in the first place? Now live up to your duty and sphinn, dammit! LOL (Voted for your comment, too, see?)

lol That was an amazing question. I think Social Media sites are about collectively deciding what is important. I don't feel that sphinning discussion about the site that I'm already on is important because guess what... I'm already here!!! I'm not against promoting Sphinn on other sites, it just is so ridiculous to do it here.

Talking about Sphinn on Sphinn is like a Splash Page to a Website. Stop getting in the way of my content already!!!

Gosh. These flame wars are almost as fun as the ones on knitting email lists!

Point of interest though: Should people start threatening defamation lawsuits, it's worth being aware of a California Supreme Court ruling (which of course only applies in California.)

http://volokh.com/posts/1164065245.shtml by a UCLA law professor begins like this:

"The California Supreme Court just held, in Barrett v. Rosenthal, that Internet users who post (to Web sites or discussion groups) material created by others are immune from liability."

Blah, blah, blah... and continues

"A long line of cases had already held that when a user posts material on a site, the operator of the site (or of the computer), can't be held liable, even when it's notified of the potentially tortious nature of the activity. Thus, for instance, we wouldn't be liable for libels posted in our comments"

And etc. 
I'm not a lawyer, but

a)I think information posted by Eugene Volokh of UCLA whose specialty is First Amendment issues is probably better than Wikipedia.
and
b) I think Volokh's post would basically mean that Heil could not prevail if he sued the blogger for what was posted in comments.  The only person who could possibly be guilty of defamation would be the person who commented. 

That said, I'd probably close down comments after Heil posted his silly threat. If someone files a suit, responding will cost money.  Who wants that?

That reply wasn't nasty, it was stupid.

You pick on Doug's spelling and then go off into typo and bad grammar laced rant about others being disrespectul while doing the same hypocritical thing.

Maybe next time you'll think twice before going off on a tirade that sounded like something you would normally hear in a 3rd grade schoolyard squabble as it makes you look bad if your customers or potential customers ever read that garbage.
