There are times when people do some great things, most of the time, people are ok, they treat their fellow man the way they want to be treated.
At other times, they treat people worse than they would treat a piece of shit stuck to the bottom of their shoe.
Over the course of the 12 years I've been online and blogging, I've encountered my fair share of internet assholes.
I've had super nasty things said about me, about my family and friends, but in the end, those things turned out ok, things got cleared up, apologies were made, all good.
Tonight though, I encountered a new-ish asshole.
I've known about the blog for some time, I blew off the things said about me because they were harmless, I was simply doing my job and this person took it as me just liking to talk far too much.
But tonight, I saw that this person, whoever they are, the anonymous coward that they are, because they have chosen to post the entire blog anonymously, took it a step too far.
They posted something about me completely untrue, 100% defamation, and if it takes a court order to get Google to hand over the isp and name of the blogger, I may go that far.
I have had a lawyer for years now, I've had to fight internet libel battles before, I even have a private investigator who has done work for me, and if need be, I will go that route again.
I am hoping that the person decides to take down my name, take down what they posted, but I doubt they will.
They believe they are completely protected because they post by phone.
They believe they are completely protected by freedom of speech, but they are not, not when it comes to defamation.
Stating, for example, that I am someone who does porn, that is indeed me in a certain video doing something pornography related, using my name, stating that is indeed me, is by it's very definition, defamation.
Well, phone records can be subpoenaed, even mobile phone records, I've had that done before too, I can do it again.
Yes, all of this will cost me money, but I have a great attorney who works with me on the bills, let's me make payments, but most of the time, no payments from me is asked for because he gains valuable internet slander/libel experience while doing it.
He's only ever asked for payment once, and it was only $50, because we managed to solve the problem without having to go to court, the PI did most of the work anyway.
The lawyer only had to draft one letter which never even had to be sent because the other person backed down.
But anyway, sometimes people just really suck, they shouldn't be allowed to have a computer if they think that this kind of thing is ok.
I've been dealing with a crapload of anonymous cowards lately both involving me and others, and yes, they are cowards.
If they really felt so strongly about the things they think and say, they'd have the courage of their convictions to put their name on it, say it from their own mouths.
But no, they are cowards lacking any type of moral fiber at all.
They are total pieces of crap as far as human beings go, and someday, they will get what's coming to them.

Whats going on Kat? You OK?
People are fucking jerkwads. That is all.
I am sorry Kat...people can be so mean and so cruel sometimes, its very sad indeed.. Yeah they think they are invisible but they are not. You know what goes around comes around and don't let them get to you...don't let them win, your far far a better person than they are..they know it.. You have my email!! I am here if you need to talk
I'm pissed off for you and I don't even know what was said! I feel sorry for people who have nothing better to do than sit around talking trash about someone, especially if it's stuff that isn't even true!
What's the URL?? If Christine can't get them to stop, I can address the issue for you.
I'm so sorry, Kat. That sounds awful, I hope you get help to sort it out.
Ya know, on the one hand, I hope it's all just taken care of quickly, but on the other, it would be incredibly funny to watch someone literally get sued for being a douche...ya know?
Aren't lawyers great...when they're on your side!!
They're posting by phone? Good gravy! How can anybody believe that ANYTHING done by phone could possibly be anonymous?
They're toast.
What a jerk!! Give 'em hell Kat!
Hmpth! Skum is stupid
Kat, I apologies for all i have said and done. things have been removed, others edited, apology post will appear soon.
by the way would it surprise you to find out I don't have a phone of any kind? haven't had for years because i have no use for them.
Wow--new post-they're apologizing to you. Appears someone threatened legal action and they're backing down
Thank you for removing the post and the video where you said it was me doing that porn, the comments you also left on the post about Brett saying it was me too.
But everything else needs to go as well.
Every single post where you said anything at all about me, ms kat, and my friends, catmommy, Holly, Jade, Kiss-my-kitty, Feeve, where you said talking about Feeve, "Has he seen Kat Cooper's "big blue" Video? Who knows?" every single post about me, all of it has to go.
I don't care what you say about PPP and Ted, he IS an asshole, he is ruining paid blogging, he's lying to the bloggers, he's fucking them over, say whatever you want about him and his company, but me and my friends, and the company, needs to be left alone.
I could tell you things about Ted and PPP that would make you even angrier at him than you are now.
But the company has stated, which I'm sure you read, you work for them, that say absolutely nothing on our forums or in company messages, assignment notes, rates of pay etc, can be posted anywhere else on the web. Not on our blogs, not on other people's blogs, not on any other message boards like Izea, they are private postings.
The forum is private for a reason, and by taking any of the posts there and re-posting them on your blog, you not only violated the company's rules, you have violated the trust of every single one of our bloggers, people that you know and post with on the forums.
As for the phone thing, that is my mistake. I thought it said mail2phone, it actually says mail2post.
Please remove everything I mentioned, and I'll accept your apology.
I would like to know though, what exactly it is that I did to you to make you do all of this to me?
Because I post too much for your liking?
I do post a lot, I admit it, but I have a valid reason for it.
I am a single, disabled parent whose teens are at school all day. I have no one to talk to, so I post to my blogs, to forums, just to have people to talk to, so I don't feel so alone.
I have undergone 3 major spine fusion surgeries and another one is coming, one that may permanently paralyze me, may take away my ability to speak for a minimum of 3 months, I'll have a trach tube in my throat, a feeding tube in my stomach.
I won't even be able to talk with my own children.
I have been unable to work outside the home since 2001, I am alone almost every day, I post to talk with people, to not be alone.
Why you find fault with that, I don't understand.
If I did something to you, said something to you in all of my posts that hurt you, I have no idea, because as of right now, I don't know who you are.
But if I did hurt you, tell me what I did, tell me what it is that I did that has caused you to feel so much hatred toward me that you would actually take steps that would harm me and the lives of my children, and I will apologize.
Just remove all of the stuff, never ever talk about me and my friends again, never post any confidential posts from the the company forums or internal memos again, and I'll speak with my attorney, I'll get him to back off of Google handing over the identity of the blog owner.
Is there any way to turn the snert from the Dark Side for the benefit of humanity?
Could they be considered one day productive members of society?
As long as someone steals their cookies and shares with me, I could care less...cause I love eating stolen cookies without having to buy 'em!
Hoping you have a great weekend. Being a single parent making ends meet isn't easy. Measlemump weenies don't help it when they take your mind off focus from content writing as well.
Best from another Floridiot.
Kat, I'm sorry you have to put up with these morons giving you a hard time and posting untrue stuff about you. But I'm glad you are fighting back and I will personally donate money to you, if you need to involve an attorney and/or request court records to find out who this anonymouse person is. I'm sure other readers will do the same. We're here to support you!
