No, I didn't block his IP address, although now I'm probably thinking that I should have. He's now threatening to take "legal action" which I find hilarious, and the letters should explain why. I had to block him from my email account as well. Here's what I have:
AT 6:53 PM...
Mr. Johnson,
I am demanding that you remove my name and comments from your website. I'm giving you a week's notice. If my comments and name are not removed from your website in that time (by May 24, 2019) I will seek legal action against you.
Very Sincerely,
Nathan
Go right ahead and seek your legal counsel. I already know what they'll tell you because you speak in ignorance. You should try reading the terms of agreement before you sign them next time.
"You remain solely responsible for the content of your posted messages. Furthermore, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless the owners of this forum, any related websites to this forum, its staff, and its subsidiaries."
Now, if you continue to keep spamming my email account, I'll just block you. I don't like doing that because I like to keep the door open for wicked people if they come to repentance, or if, God forbid, you were ever in need of daily food and clothing, and we could be charitable to you and your family.
However, you have proven once again that you are not of Christ.
If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
-1Co 6:4-6
You're not a brother in Christ because we don't go to the law with matters among one another. If you do not seek the Lord to give you a heart of repentance, then hell and lake of fire awaits; there's nothing more I can do. Again, if you keep spamming me letters, I'll block your account. Have a great day.
AT 6:54 PM... ONE MINUTE LATER...
I keep checking into the forum and, as expected, I see more and more libel being written about me accusing me of being a false convert on my way to Hell.
I warn you, if these comments and my name and account are not deleted by the end of next week, I will sue you for libel and for using my name and words without my permission!
You have been warned. I'll be checking back next Friday, and if my content is still present, you'll be hearing from my attorney.
Very Sincerely,
Nathan
As I said in the last letter, if you kept spamming me, I'll block your account. I'm doing so now. Have a great day.
END OF EMAIL EXCHANGE
As a side note, the humorous thing about this is that Nate, in his habit of speaking before considering a matter, doesn't even understand the legal definition of defamation, which is the subject of the lawsuit he would have to file under for libel. What he's claiming doesn't even match defamation. What is on this site was posted by him, no changes were made to anything he said, and we have expressed our thoughts and opinions freely about his testimony and therefore, I'm not sure that he knows what libel means. He would literally have to fight the first amendment of the US Constitution to win his case. Not to mention, defamation is one of the most difficult type of cases to win, with many facets of criteria that have to be met to even be heard in an official trial (i.e. most of them are thrown out during the preliminary hearings), and that means, his alleged "attorney" would have to be convinced that Nate has such a solid case and could be awarded enough money to make the matter worth the law office's time and resources. In short, unless Nate is secretly a millionaire, he's not going to be able to afford it, and Lorraine and I don't have very much money as it is--meaning that he would have to sue me personally, because Creation Liberty Evangelism is not a corporation and Lorraine and I don't have a marriage license, so we're not a corporation either. Thus, to take on a personal defamation lawsuit requires extraordinary amounts of funding, along with extraordinary amounts of evidence, including "mens rea," which is a legal term that has to do with proving the intent to commit a crime, and that would be impossible to prove because there is no one here intent on commit any crime to defame anyone. So, his threats are nothing more than vanity in the wind.
Furthermore, even if he started a lawsuit on this, it would only expose him further, he would lose it, and then all that would do is focus more attention onto the Gospel of repentance and faith in Christ that I'm teaching, and expose the wickedness of his own words to public at large.
In short, the Bible says he's a fool, and he ought to be ashamed of himself, but he continues in confidence via his rage.
A wise man feareth, and departeth from evil: but the fool rageth, and is confident.
-Pro 14:16
