This is only a brief note (a complete and comprehensive site
update is in progress) for FYI purposes.
There have been a lot of developments since these web pages were written;
1. The plaintiff has lost four lawsuits at the federal district level (PAED-
Federal District Court for Eastern Pennsylvania) and finally an appeal to the US
Court of Appeals for the Third District.
2. Dotster.com and Ravi Puri have been involved in several well publicized
domain name hijackings- the most well known has probably been the Panix
case)
3. The plaintiff has filed suit against several other individuals and businesses
for various perceived grievances
4. For whatever reasons, the plaintiff has changed ISP services numerous times
in the last six months
5. About the illegal Yahoo takedown of my site with public documents from the
lawsuits Gordon Roy Parker filed against me, when the plaintiff
posted material to his own web site containing my own original works and
content, his web host at Infopop.com refused my requests that he treated the
same, and still allows him to post my IP property to his own site.
6. Even though, as documented in these pages, the plaintiff filed a
complaint with ICANN and Dotster concerning alleged erroneous information in the
WHOIS records for the Ray-Gordon.com domain name, It has recently been
discovered that the plaintiff himself has registered a domain name with false
information in its WHOIS records-
| Registrant: Snodgrass Publishing Group 4247 Locust Street Philadelphia, PA 19104 US Domain Name: CYBERSHEET.COM |
Administrative Contact: Gordon, Ray amoderncaveman@aol.com Snodgrass Publishing Group P.O. Box 42814 Philadelphia, PA 19101 US 215-386-3414 |
| Technical Contact: Gordon, Ray amoderncaveman@aol.com Snodgrass Publishing Group P.O. Box 42814 Philadelphia, PA 19104 US 215-386-3414 |
Record expires on 16-Dec-2007. Record created on 17-Dec-1997. Database last updated on 31-May-2007 00:47:19 EDT. Domain servers in listed order: NS1.INFOPOP.CC NS2.INFOPOP.CC |
-there's just one problem, the plaintiff's name is not Ray
Gordon. His legal name is Gordon Roy Parker, and he claims no such alias in
federal court records.
7. The plaintiff has succeeded in finding a disciple in his pursuits on usenet,
a character known as "Speeding", who claims to be from Oklahoma.
Interestingly enough, as mentioned in #6 above, like the plaintiff who's own
domain name WHOIS records are false, the plaintiff's new "friend"
similarly has a domain name registered with false WHOIS information;
| Domain Name.......... speedingticketinfo.com Creation Date........ 2005-09-23 Registration Date.... 2005-09-23 Expiry Date.......... 2007-09-23 Organisation Name.... noone Organisation Address. nowhere Organisation Address.

-oh, and look who the web host is. None other than Yahoo.com.
All these developments, and a lot more, will be covered in the soon to be completed site update. If you are interested in what can happen when internet psychos abuse the US civil legal system, stay tuned for some humorous, disturbing and unbelievable developments.

Welcome to
ChewOnThis.Org, the elite of "This chaps my butt" web sites. If you
prefer not to read gripes, complaints, grievances, nit- picks and angry
responses, this isn't the place for you. You can leave by way of the door.
If you decide to stay, then read at your own risk. That being said, and with the usual disclaimers that at no time whatsoever will the author of this page be responsible for anything you experience as a result of reading what's written here, then away we go....
What's at the bottom of the domain name thing-
(you can catch up on and follow the
domain name controversy at this link.)
Before I begin with this, I'm going to get the legal mumbo jumbo
out of the way for a certain newsloon who will be reading this.
The content on this site authored by me, Thom E. Geiger, is
MY OPINION and
nothing but my opinion. I won't continuously remind readers I'm
giving my opinion here, so if you don't like that, or anything I write here, you
can kiss my butt. There is no legal advice being given, this is not a commercial
site (unlike yours GRP, as pathetic as yours is) and I am entitled to my First
Amendment right to have and express my opinion. I am also entitled to respond to
your attacks against me in your stupid lawsuit and the crap you spew in the
internet newsgroups.
******************************************************
ATTN READERS: The newsloon being discussed here has recently
filed a second amended complaint, with the federal court of the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania, in the case against both myself and LTSC, Inc., case
#03-cv-6396. The case is demanding a jury trial and damages of ONE BILLION
DOLLARS (yep, that's right, a BILLION $$$ with a 'B') for what this idiot says
are charges of defamation, invasion of privacy, tortious
interference, abuse of process, unfair competition, civil conspiracy,
racketeering (RICO), and violations of the Lanham Act.
Anyone interested in seeing how delusional this newsloon is, how badly the state of Pennsylvania needs some serious tort reform to stop such frivolous SLAPP type lawsuits, or just to see what a BILLION dollar lawsuit looks like, check out the complaint here.
Apparently, the moron has
decided to stop trying to get me to name the person I loaned the ray-gordon.com
domain name to (something I can't tell him because I don't know who it was. All
I have is the same email address this wacko already knows), and now he's decided
to lie under penalty of perjury and try to assert that I created the website I
directed the domain name to, even though he knows full well I'm not that person,
and I know I can prove he knows that fact in court.
******************************************************
For my web host (who have been warned about this ahead of time), and any upstream geeks who might fall for this jerk's so-called irresistible hypnotic power, this moron has already tried to get a federal judge to issue a restraining order against my domains and similar content (although the other content wasn't authored by me) and FAILED. A copy of the judge's refusal to grant the restraining order is here, signed by Judge James M. Kelly, of the federal court of the eastern district of Pennsylvania. I repeat,
Motion was made in federal court for Temporary Restraining Order and was DENIED!
So, if this idiot comes whining to any of you about something
being wrong on this web page, or he tries to use another false DMCA complaint to
try and keep me from exercising my First Amendment right of
FREE SPEECH, you should tell him he is required
to identify the error in my content and I should then be allowed the chance to
make corrections--- AFTER he has furnished proof of his allegations, not
before.
The takedown notification provisions in the DMCA that
shield service providers from liability for removing content due to a false
claim (and there are mandatory notification requirements in the DMCA) can
be read at this
link, straight from the United States Government
Copyright Office.
Here is a link to a copy of the Google, Inc. Motion To Dismiss from this idiot's other billion dollar case currently clogging the Pennsylvania Federal Court system. You can right click on the link and select "Save As..." to copy it to your own computer for later reference. The file size is 1.28 mb.
If any of my service providers are too
busy or too lazy to read the DMCA before they try to enforce it, here's the
applicable part:
"The statute also establishes procedures for proper notification, and
rules as to its effect. (Section 512(c)(3)). Under the notice and takedown
procedure, a copyright owner submits a notification under penalty of perjury,
including a list of specified elements, to the service provider’s
designated agent. Failure to comply substantially with the statutory
requirements means that the notification will not be considered in determining
the requisite level of knowledge by the service provider. If, upon receiving a
proper notification, the service provider promptly removes or blocks access to
the material identified in the notification, the provider is exempt from
monetary liability. In addition, the provider is protected from any liability to
any person for claims based on its having taken down the material. (Section
512(g)(1)).
"In order to protect against the possibility of erroneous or fraudulent
notifications, certain safeguards are built into section 512. Subsection (g)(1)
gives the subscriber the opportunity to respond to the notice and takedown by
filing a counter notification. In order to qualify for the protection against
liability for taking down material, the service provider must promptly notify
the subscriber that it has removed or disabled access to the material. If
the subscriber serves a counter notification complying with statutory
requirements, including a statement under penalty of perjury that the material
was removed or disabled through mistake or misidentification, then unless the
copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the subscriber,
the service provider must put the material back up
within 10-14 business days after receiving the counter notification."
Some time back I agreed to point a domain name I had registered
years ago to a website that was, from the evidence I have seen in a federal case
against me, created to bring attention to the nasty and (in my personal
opinion), dangerous internet activities of a seriously sick individual. From
what I have read from the people or person who claims to have created the site,
the internet kook, or newsloon (since he primarily posts on usenet newsgroups)
publicly posted horrible, threatening messages, then after the person he posted
them to had read them, he demanded Google (the internet search site archives and
stores messages from public newsgroups
here), and the old Deja news archive before them, take down all the nasty messages he would send
out.
Over the last few years, the newsloon has used just about every stupid, dirty
trick in the book to try and get the site taken down. He's threatened web hosts
with lawsuits, made false claims about the domain name and has even filed a one
BILLION dollar lawsuit against me in the state of Pennsylvania. You can see the
text of the lawsuit
here, but the newsloon has threatened several web hosts with their own
lawsuits if I post all the evidence he has submitted against me in the suit. That's
right, he's submitted evidence to the clerk of the court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania, evidence he's trying to use against me at trial and
that has become part of the public record, and he's doing everything he can to
keep me from posting that evidence so the public can't see it. What you'll see on
that site is what can be seen on the PACER electronic records system
here.
The domain name is
Ray-Gordon.com
The name Ray Gordon is NOT this moron's real name. The problem
child, the internet newsloon involved in this, uses the name Ray Gordon on
internet newsgroups and claims to be an author of adult type seduction books.
You can do a web search on the name Ray Gordon and the word "author", and the
majority of the hits you will see pertain to a REAL person named Ray Gordon, who
has been writing adult fiction for years before the newsloon started using the
real Ray Gordon's name. The real guy, the real Ray Gordon, has
his own
website, which he
calls "the
official Ray Gordon web site", which is understandable, since
it's his REAL NAME.
Anyway, for years this newsloon, the "other " Ray Gordon, has posted what can
only be described as sick, disgusting messages spawned from a diseased mind to public
newsgroups. Then he whines and makes threats to any business that archives
newsgroup messages to try and get them to remove the messages after they've done
their damage to the people he was addressing in them.
When the Ray-Gordon.com website went up, the newsloon accused me of being the
author of the site. That has been a lie from the start and the newsloon knows
I'm not the author. He sued the author of the site in the same suit where I'm
being sued, but the author was dismissed from the suit (along with all but two
of the original 100 defendants...myself and a company the newsloon considers a
business rival), because the newsloon is too stupid to properly serve the rest
of the defendants with summonses. You should really go and read the text of the
lawsuit if you want a good laugh.
Here we have a 30 something year old guy who lives in an apartment with his
mother, has had very few real jobs he can document (and I don't mean work at
home stuff GRP), says he writes seduction manuals for men who can't meet women
(so-called books with titles like "29 Reasons Not To Be A Nice Guy", yeah right,
but I'm told he can't prove he's ever used his own "product" to get a date with
one single woman since he wrote it), has written some of the worst rants and
psychologically warped messages ever read on the internet, trolls the internet
looking for something to use to file a lawsuit against somebody or some
business, and is probably one of the most well known "trolls" on the internet in the
last ten years.
His lawsuit claims there is a huge, widespread conspiracy to defame him, keep
him from being able to do business on the internet, and to portray him in a
false light (one of his favorite sayings). What no one who has ever dealt with
this sick newsloon can figure out is how he can think to claim other people have
damaged his reputation when he has posted rants, spews, and hate messages across the
internet for ten years or more. At one point, the count was over 300,000
messages.
What's actually going on is this wicked, demented, fat little ogre spews hate in
dozens of internet newsgroups, hoping someone will react to his crap and give
him a reason to sue them in court. The weasel claims to have once been a
paralegal for some law firm somewhere, and has threatened hundreds of newsgroup
people with lawsuits.
What kind of trash has this idiot posted to public newsgroups? Remember, he's
already gotten many usenet archives to remove hate messages he's written to
people, but there are many left in the archives you can see for yourself. I'll
bet he'll be trying to get Google and the other archives to remove all public
access to those messages once he finds out where he left them.
One tactic he uses to get a rise out of people is to post
(write and then upload) a hateful message to someone who has experienced a
personal loss, such as the death of a loved one. Then he tries to make sure all
the follow-up responses focus on him, and his needs, and his imagined pains and
sufferings. Here's a
link to one such rant he made about a woman's son who had committed suicide.
You make your own decision about whether or not he was justified for posting
what he did, or if how I've described his behavior is accurate or not. To be
sure you are unbiased in your conclusion, I guess you'll have to read the whole
collection of messages in that thread. The newsloon who posted the message seems
to feel people should be forced by a judge or jury somewhere to read every
single message he's ever posted to usenet newsgroups before they can be allowed
to form a personal opinion of him, his behavior and his sanity. Yeah right.
The problem this newsloon has, or at least one of his problems, is that he seems
to think the average person will accept any explanation he gives for his stupid
and hateful behavior if they read every single messages to him or from him that
exists on the internet. I'll bet he's been told more than once there is no
excuse for most of what he posts to people in the newsgroups, but still he
thinks he can justify things like bringing people's children, spouses,
significant others and friends into his arguments.
Here's one
link to a message where he admits making what he calls a "nasty" (others, me
included, would call it a threat, given the fact he was having an argument with
the woman at the time he made it) comment to a woman about her young daughter.
You can read his entire explanation for what he did, then judge for yourself if
his so-called justification is something a rational person would accept for what
he himself describes as "I DID wish death on Michelle's daughter." <Know
this GRP, if you whine to Google to have that message removed, I'll link to a
copy of it somewhere else.>
Readers who would like to see some other messages from this idiot can follow the links below and see a wide collection of messages from different names this moron has used over the years in his fishing expeditions for lawsuit arguments through the newsgroups . If you see any messages you might want other people to see later, you'll probably have to save your own copy of the messages because the fat little weasel is harassing Google into taking his hate messages out of the public view as fast as he can. And Google is accommodating him, which is ironic in itself, because PACER records show the moron has filed a TEN BILLION dollar lawsuit against Google (and 50,000 Google associates) for archiving messages he thinks defame him, or put him in a false light (there's that favorite saying again). You can see the docket record of that lawsuit here. You'll also notice this individual uses a lot of America Online accounts to post his messages. Complaints have been filed for years against his AOL accounts, but the service continues to give him new accounts every time it cancels one for TOS (Terms Of Service) violations, for anything from making threats to posting hate messages. After reading the messages you can find by following the links below, if you think this person doesn't need to be on the same internet service (complete with chatrooms...I've heard the guy particularly likes the gymnastics chatroom) as women and children, you can contact AOL's complaint department at TOSGeneral@aol.com.
The totals shown
below for each name lists the number of messages displayed when checked on
Sunday, August 29, 2004. If there is a discrepancy in the numbers shown here and
the ones on the Google pages you reach, that can only mean this individual is
after Google to have his disgusting messages removed form public view.
Click on the name link to see the list of messages on
Google posted by each name.
The worst messages of the bunch have been removed
from public view, and were posted under the name betforaliving@aol.com,
but you can still see quotes of those messages inside messages from other people
here. The most outrageous and offensive messages, the ones this jerk scrambled
to have removed from Google before filing his lawsuit against the people who
reacted in anger to his rants, were hateful and disgusting messages posted about
the victims of the 911 attacks on the World Trade Center in New York.
Two such quotes (and I'm not saying they're the only ones, or that they are 100%
accurate, but that could be verified at trial if we ever get there,
and we will get to a trial if this web page is removed
because of some lame fake accusation by the newsloon) can be seen
here or
here, or if you want to do your own hunting and come to your own
conclusions, try this
link or this
link (although the newsloon's messages have been removed from what was
originally a 224 message thread- but is now down to 216 messages
after his were removed- you can still see his
messages quoted in the messages that are still there from other people who
responded to his rant against the 911 victims) .
At my best estimation (which I'm not, in any way, saying is totally accurate,
especially given this newsloon's propensity for posting in the newsgroups),
there is somewhere in the neighborhood of 100,000 messages that have been
removed from public view, by Google, at the demand of this individual.
*NOTE: All of
the messages found at these links are from the names on the links, not from
other people, and NONE of the messages have
been filtered except BY NAME.

before, that his mother has used the service to upload threatening messages to
the internet.>

If you've followed the name links in the first part of this page,
particularly those from
therevolt@aol.com,
lamontgsanford@juno.com,
askray@hotmail.com,
raygsanford@juno.com,
you_will_get_laid@juno.com, and esp.
RayGordon123@hotmail.com, you
should be able to see and judge for yourself
if having a business idiot, someone who continuously drones on about his prowess
at operating a commercial enterprise on the internet, use the service to try and
intimidate private individuals, consumers and anyone who has an opinion of him
and/or his product that he doesn't agree with, is damaging the name or reputation of Verizon, its parent,
affiliates and subsidiaries or not.
If you've followed more than one of those name links, you've already seen this
jerk has been threatening people who criticize him and/or his product as far
back as 1997/98. Do you think this self-described business owner is using the
service " to interfere with another person's usage or enjoyment of the
Internet"?
The practice of threatening critics, or just anyone who expresses a negative
opinion of a commercial product, is commonly called
predatory commercial speech, which is different than an individual's
right of free speech.
Do Verizon or AOL (which this individual seems to use when he wants to post messages to the internet which unquestionably violate Verizon's policies) endorse predatory commercial messages from any business interests, written with open legal and other threats, apparently with the sole intent to intimidate individuals into self-censoring their online speech and bully service providers into forsaking the rights of their users to speak freely, particularly on matters related to the dependability, effectiveness, marketing, use, or safety of their particular commercial product? I would be interested in hearing their response to that question.
If you have any lingering doubts that someone could, over the period of 7 years
or more, continue to try and control the free speech of private individuals,
citizens and consumers in multiple usenet newsgroups, to try and prevent anyone
from expressing a negative opinion of him and his product, you can follow a few
of those newsgroups through these links:
alt.seduction.fast
alt.hypnosis
rec.games.chess.politics
You can read messages as far back as you like (although, remember, a large
number of this individual's messages have been removed from the archives because
HE DEMANDED IT), and then you can make up your own mind about what this person
is doing and why.
