Lawsuit against anonymous poster Kent on Everyblock by MindCrusher?, Everyblock calls up Kevin O.?

 Kevin Ownings "I have not made or passed out any stickers in 6 months. So you seen a old sticker. Sorry to not be nice but i am in the belief that someone is just targeting me now. You went afterthe business not the kid doing this. You said Mind Crusher Struck again. I have a weird feeling this is going to be a lawsuit i will be persuing (sic). I got a call today from Everyblock and i got the email adresses. This must stop its not illeagle (sic) to have,buy,own, or use stickers. It is just wrong to use them in any other way than inteded (sic). As my comment before Its sticker, side walk chaulk(sic). Someone was so kind to paint over side walk chaulk (sic) and cause me so much grief. They failed to mention they curssed (sic) me out infront of my 1 year old son at the time."


I had asked MindCrusher to please remove this sticker,
I removed it in September, the posting of this sign
 being restored led to my explusion from Everyblock


A followup visit to MindCrusher a month later in October resulted in the discovery of another sign infected with the MindCrusher sticker, this was also removed by your truly.

Response - I dont know who Kent is. I didnt curse anyone out in front of their kid, I called the phone number on stickers that were all over the place and I was SICK of taking them down (I do have better things to do). This couldve all been avoided if the owner of MindCrusher took personal responsibility for the sticker vandalism around his shop. He decided not to and to bully Effjlnoos off of Everyblock and think that would be the end of the that. I am not targeting anyone, I am simply targetting a business sitting there doing nothing about the stickers that were very obviously THEIRS on the city street signs within spitting distance of their business. If he must bring a lawsuit, he must, but why? Its so easy to peel the stickers off. Is it easier to argue on the internet or get off your butt and take the stickers down?

(The conversation regarding this important topic was halted in September by Everyblock.)

Yes these stickers were already taken down by yours truly. Why did I have to do it? How about some community service from MindCrusher and how about fighting against Sign Vandalism? That would be a good way to help the neighborhood out and a great way to promote your business.

The title that "Kent" came up with on Everyblock simply said MindCrusher strikes again, referring I thought to the stickers themselves. I think a normal reaction would be, HEY, this totally sucks guys sorry, WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP? Thats all anyone wants to hear, no one wants to hear excuses, threats of lawsuits, namecalling, etc.

This latest "rant" (overused word on internet but sometimes its actually appropriate) actually took more energy than it would for Kevin O. to peel one of his stickers off of a sign.

Businesses on Clark make up what is the community of Rogers Park. Vandalism sets up the scene for worse things to happen. Im happy you did all that stuff Kevin 0. but that has NOTHING to do with the topice at hand. Arguments arent won with BLUSTER, there is no winning in this argument either. I have never brought up ANYTHING personal into this so Im not sure why any of this personal information needs to be talked about. You have done good works, thats great, but you with this topic you dropped the ball. Whatever, who cares? Its fine, you dont see it as important, but the homeowners here in Rogers Park sure do see it as important.

Al I pointed out on the now deceased other thread, that there are more stickers at the Farwell Tennis Courts. Who cares right? It just has your name on it?

This is what I expected from Kevin O., he blew me off on the phone and he is all bluster when confronted with the problem. Anyone have ANYTHING to say about the pictures? Ofcourse not.

Aaargh, must be some drunken sailors on shoreleave getting tattooed and stealing them stickers har, har, har.

What is also interesting is how long a problem like sticker vandalism lasts. If a sticker hasnt been passed out in six months, does that mean all the stickers magically disappear from the city signs they have been stuck on?

All of the stickers on the Columbia Viaduct signs were taken off in about five minutes, which is much faster and more rewarding than all of these long idiotic discussions on Everyblock.

Aaargh. Anonymous is a scallywag from HMS MindCrusher he is. Ran away but left his ISP address behind har, har, har. Set sail mateys and well chase him down.

@ anon 1:46, yeah thats a good tactic, except that I would remove them. Yeah thats the ticket, someone else printed all these stickers up and stuck them up right by their shop. Yeah thats the ticket.

@Captain JR, agreed, I have to dust off my sailing gear first though, Im still recovering from the last shipwreck that landed me here.

I think it says alot that what the defenders of Mindcrusher come up with is threats and ideas for retaliation. Accepting that maybe what was done was wrong? Sacrilege! Dont worry guys I dont think there is anything more to cover on this story....

I don't understand these internet lawsuits, just close the tab and walk away if it gets to be too much for you.
