All I Want Is To Make Homoerotic Videos

July 25, 2008 – 1:53 pm

Apparently Shel Israel wants to try and pay back Scoble by suing me.

He’s threatened me before with this nonsense. I don’t like being threatened, it tends to piss me off.

  5. @Vinny - Shel’s probably stirring this shit back up because it finally dawned on him that Loren’s giving him more visibility and attention than the backward little weasel could muster on his own, even with his nose planted so firmly up Scoble’s ass.

    Pity he doesn’t have a clue as to the difference between impersonation (intent to deceive) with satire (intent to expose). What an ass-hat!

  7. He’s finished. I am going to come down on this guy like a shit storm from hell. Online, offline, shoreline, byline, It doesn’t matter to me. He is going to wish he never uttered my name.

  8. Its been proven again and again satire is not a sue-able offense. What he no is a Lawyer expert as well as a Naked CONVERSATION EXPERT?

    when I worked factory jobs out of HS I use to take those damn speed limiters off lift trucks and forklifts as it makes it so much more entertainment and excitement..

  11. Sounds like you are making threats Loren. He’s got you pretty rattled. Sue Loren. Has a nice feminine ring to it.

  12. Making homoerotic videos is a higher calling– put Pete Cashmore in the next one.;-)

    Very smart. Always go with what you know.

  14. Shel doesn’t understand the gigantic gap between UK libel laws and the ones in the US. Much easier to win in UK.

    Also, videos were spoken so they’d have to be Slander, not Libel. Plus, Shel is a “public figure” and subject to a much higher standard when seeking damages in any slander or libel suit (see Falwell v. Flynt).

    By Andrew on Jul 27, 2008

  15. Andrew, How about the fact that we are talking about a PUPPET! Shel is a desperate moron. He’s borrowed money from Scoble and no one will hire him now that I’ve exposed him as an idiot. He’s reaching for anything at this point.

    By Loren Feldman on Jul 27, 2008

  16. Just the sentence, “I get word Shel Isreal is going to sue…(pause for effect) over a puppet” cracked me up.

    By Cranky on Jul 28, 2008

  17. Of course your puppetry falls within in the realm of protected First Amendment speech as satire, it’s preposterous to call it “identity theft”. If Shel is too lame to secure his domain name, his loss.

    What I’m not getting, however, is what kind of papers you could possibly serve him. ? Harassment? Probably difficult to prove.
