Umilator poll : Comment 46 of 50ANN.lu
Posted by Walter A. Miles, Jr. on 21-Feb-2003 05:22 GMT
In reply to Comment 20 (VMC Harald Frank):
In Comment 20, the Devil-Interloper of Foundering Amithlon accused Mr. Hoggett of
writing nonsense, repeated his unsupported assertions about Mr. Meyer's contractual
relationship with H&P, and finished by threatening legal action against Mr. Hoggett.

----------

The endless empty threats really get to me (apparently he's made another against
amiga.org within the last day). Maybe the only solution to his placebos is a dose
of the real medicine.

Maybe the MAUG poll should have asked who would help finance legal action
against Mr. Frank. I've always supposed that lawsuits would NOT bring about
Umilator distribution. Certainly, ZERO money would be gained by the plaintiffs.
Furthermore, it would be an ugly battle, damaging the peace of mind or reputation
of anyone remotely involved. However, considering the "Very Minor Character's"
continuing outrageous statements, abuse of ordinary users and likelihood that he
has bullied and harassed potential contributors to Umilater, maybe it's the RIGHT
THING TO DO. Perhaps there is a mechanism for civil action by users against
his obstruction of Umilator's release. Perhaps German criminal authorities could
be persuaded to investigate his harassing actions. Perhaps a sort of Better Business
Bureau or Fair Trade Commission could probe his business practices. Maybe if
things got hot enough for him, he would realize that a cooperative approach is more
in his interest.

I know little about German law, and I can't pretend to certainty that "Virtually
Marginal Company" can be curbed, BUT occasionally what is right coincides with
what is legal. Perhaps someone with a knowledge of applicable law or relevant
government or civic organizations can suggest other avenues to pursue.

Mr. Frank's behavior is so despicable, and the good he vitiates so great, that
the community may conclude that it's time for the "Viciously Mumbling Child"
(or "Verbally Most Contumacious") to get his comeuppance.

"Virulent Moral Collapse," anyone?
