TBS Cigars

[thepyrofish]

LOL, Another forum I am a member of (not cigar realted at all) was threatened similarly to this, and was actually sued as a result. We won. In fact the company suing us were quite thoroughly embarassed in court by two of our own members, who happened to be lawyers. One of them was actually a first amemndment specialist.



*When using we/us etc, I am referring mostly to the site owner, who was the only one actually targeted by the suit. I wrote it this way because a lot of work went into the case by pretty much the whole forum, so we all partied when we won.

Oh where do I begin?

TBSCigars is the site admin from StogieChat, a pathetic excuse for a cigar board that is dying a slow death due to the fact that the site admin does a piss poor job running his site.
TBSCigars posts "deals" on cigars here that he doesn't have (Padron 1926).
Another member and I call him on it.
He says "Oh they were sold yesterday."
TBSCigars was caught lying. This makes him mad and he gets nasty, defensive, arrogant and rude.
He adds to his site that he has a box of Padron 1926 #6 maduros.
Then all of a sudden he doesn't have them.
Oh and this is where it gets funny, HE CLAIMS I BOUGHT THEM!
I did not buy any cigars from this liar.
I doubt he ever had a box of Padron 1926 #6 maduros in the first place.
He then proceeds to post all kinds of personal information about me and my family on this site along with lies about talking to someone here in my house. Oh and TBS, you think you're not posting my phone numbers by excluding the prefix means that you didn't REALLY post them but since there is ONLY ONE PREFIX in the Hampton, CT exchange (455) for all intents and purposes, you DID INDEED post my phone numbers you lowlife. I'll bet if I posted your home phone number on a cigar BB, you'd lose your mind.
(Don't worry Hex, I won't sue you, I think it's rather comical that TBSCigars has no ethics and is a pathological liar and besides, most of the information he posted is a matter of public record so who cares. The stuff that he posted about claiming he talked to someone here at my house is an outright lie but if he wants to expose himself to a potential lawsuit, I'm more than happy to let him do just that ).

Now this liar is sending threatening messages to Hex that contain pure unadulterated fantasies and yet more lies.

This loser has serious issues and Hex, if you want to keep him around for the sheer entertainment value, that's fine with me! but personally, I would have banned this PIECE OF SHIT a long time ago. Entertainment value of liars and irrational trolls is one thing but when it disrupts the board to this level of ridiculousness, it's not worth it anymore.

My guess is that TBSCigars realizes he went way overboard lying about me buying cigars from him AND his posting of my family's personal information here on this board.

I would highly recommend NOT removing ANY posts because the only person who has exposed himself to potential legal problems is TBSCigars aka Eric Turner.

Typical arrogant, ignorant, blowhard loser liar trying to shout and intimidate his way out of the corner he's painted himself into.

Don't sweat it TBS, I have no desire to waste my time filing a frivilous lawsuit against you even though I have plenty of time on my hands, lots of lawyer friends and it might be fun just for the experience

fpdoc/tbs/traffic nazi.....all busy plotting their next move against me and cc....what to do,oh what to do??....

[CoventryCat86]

fpdoc just had his balls cut off over on ClubStogie and shoved in his mouth so he'll be keeping his trolling head down. At least for a while anyway.....

TBS is hoping and praying that Hex will delete all his posts so he (TBS) won't get sued.

traffic nazi? Hmmmmmmmmm............I think he left, never to be heard from again.

Question: Can an ISP or the host of the message board or chat room be held liable for defamatory of libelous statements made by others on the message board?

Answer: No. Under 47 U.S.C. sec. 230(c)(1): "No provider or user of an interactive computer service shall be treated as the publisher or speaker of any information provided by another information content provider." This provision has been uniformly interpreted by the Courts to provide complete protection against defamation or libel claims made against an ISP, message board or chat room where the statements are made by third parties. Note that this immunity does not extend to claims made under intellectual property laws.

Good detective work Hex!!! Now that that's settled, ban the a$$hat!!!

[hex1848]

You know what? I'm not going to remove the posts in question. In the event that I do get a letter from an attorney I do have a plan of action as outlined by members of a community I frequent that caters to forum administrators. It's pretty good stuff too, the EFF loves this kind of situation.

Here are a couple more articles on the subject which I found useful in making my decision:

Well two outta three isn't so bad!

TBS made up a new screen name TugMyCigar and is now terrorizing CigarSmokers until tomorrow when his ban takes effect.

You'd think this piece of shit would have be busy running his lame-assed site StoogieChat

It's like there is an idiot festival forming at the gate.

Man, I've missed quite a few things lately.



Don't think you have anything to worry about Hex.

Hey All;

I see everyone has been busy here over the past 3 weeks. Good luck with the problem Hex.
