I think this deserved it's own thread.
What Evan is doing in the quote below is basically insinuating that I am a cheater. Decide for yourself if it's founded.
I never, NEVER make threads like this, but I take any and all accusations such as this VERY seriously.
Evan, I have offered time and again to speak with you about the xxxtom issue, yet you never seem to care for one on one discussions. You're holding a grudge over an issue that not only is WAY in the past but something you DO NOT KNOW the facts on. I even spoke with Kevin about this and feel free to ask him about it. Since you would never let me fill you in on the FACTS, why should I keep trying?
And secondly, a lot of people try to play the trademark/copyright police on GFY and give me a hard time about utilizing pop culture references in some of my sigs. Not only is this lame, it's groundless.
A really great example is radio stations. Just about every radio show utilizes sound bytes from copyrighted material in their segways without authorized usage. I am no lawyer, but I am fairly certain there is a fair use exception out there for collectively recognizable characters. I could be wrong - and even if I am, who cares? My sigs are harmless fun, and your attempts to use it as ammunition is a weak cheap shot at best.
So, the bottom line is, if you got a problem - be a man about it and come to me with it, rather than act like a troll on the board and use it at your discretion; ESPECIALLY when insinuating I am a cheater.
Or is this too much to expect?
