EMAIL FROM KENDRICK MOXON April 27, 2010 |
The referenced site constitutes
identity theft, is false and defamatory. You know it is full of and
based on lies. If the site is not removed today I shall take other appropriate legal action. Kendrick Moxon |
ANGRY GAY POPE'S RESPONSE
Mr. Moxon,
What is your definition of identity theft? Mine is "the co-option of another person's personal information (e.g., name, Social Security number, credit card number, passport) without that person's knowledge and the fraudulent use of such knowledge." I've told you (and the world) that I bought that website name. I'm not doing it without your knowledge. I would also never sell it to you at any price. This is not an attempt to defraud or extort you. Personal websites have been around for over fifteen years. Long ago I bought my own name as a website: www.donjmyers.com My lawyer's website is www.GrahamBerry.com. You have had over a decade to buy your name as a website (as any good lawyer ought in order to market himself). You didn't and now I own it. I know Scientologists don't watch much television but David Letterman and Conan O'Brien are popular talk show hosts on NBC. Both men allowed their parent organization, NBC, to handle their web prescence much as you have allowed Scientology to handle yours. When they finally decided to get their own websites they found their names had already been bought. www.davidletterman.com - is not owned by David Letterman www.conanobrien.com - is not owned by Conan O'Brien Fortunately you can still buy KendrickMoxon.org, KendrickMoxon.net, KendrickMoxon.info, KendrickMoxon.biz and KendrickMoxon.us.com. They are all available. There is also nothing stopping you from buying AvaPaquette.com. But ElliotAbelson.com is reserved already. I guess he knows how to take precautions. Legal action to take down KendrickMoxon.com violates my free speech rights regarding a public figure, you, who are of considerable interest to Scientology watchers worldwide. Legal action against KendrickMoxon.com would be considered a strategic lawsuit against public participation. Judge Rico SLAPPed you down once with me already. That record won't help your case. However I can see why you are enturbulated. I don't want people confused with who is running this website. Currently that is too vague. So I have added a large DISCLAIMER. |
