Go to: dontdatehimgirl.com

know of someone who is. The lady/owner of this
websites ex-husband SUED her over creating
this website & guess what??? HE LOST! The
judge ruled in her favor...it was all over the news &
she posted the fact that she won the case on her
website. You can check it out yourself...I happened
to catch it on the national news that morning, that's
how I found out about the website. | |

Posted: 6/2/2007 6:23:08 AM | Phew Steelcowboy!....you have had some bad luck with women! I have some stories too...but they're water under the bridge and have just made me more cautious......lol...
I've been looking for man who loves me unconditionally, makes me feel like a goddess (because I deserve it ) and it seems like all the men who are willing to do that end up with the nutters!
Not sure if I agree with the Do not date list tho..........you can't really believe any stories on it because these people have an agenda.......unfortunately, women, especially once they are sexually involved, become emotionally involved...it's just the way it is, and if any woman says that's not true, they're lying..........and if they get dumped, well, hell hath no fury as they say........I hope you meet someone sane.....sounds like you are nice guy, and just get taken advantage of. Be more diligent, do a background check if you suspect your next paramour might be a nutter lol.....They say (and I don't know who "they" is lol ) that there is someone out there for everyone.........perhaps it just takes some of us longer than others to find them......
Good luck! | |

Where is it . . .
The ruling just states that the particular court, that the suit was filed in, did not have jurisdiction to hear the case. There was no ruling on the case itself.
The actual court decision is at:
howappealing.law.com/20070409100318184.pdf
There may be another lawsuit that a previous poster is referring to, as in the quote below. I wasn't able to find any reference to it. Perhaps this illustrates the dangers of misinformation by well meaning individuals, or perhaps it illustrates that I need to sharpen my google-ing skills further.

In any case, the bottom line is that adults need to take responsibility for their own character and act within their character at all times. If one throws caution to the wind in pursuit of ones aspirations (not just dating), do not be surprised if sometimes the wind catches it and slaps one silly upside the head. 'Nothing ventured, nothing gained' is a fine motto to live by.... as long as we have carefully considered what we are venturing. . . and of course there is always luck, good and bad. | |

| Do Not Dating List????
Posted: 6/2/2007 8:55:22 AM | What about all the scorned men? Why are you such a sexist? Why are you so hostile? Get over yourself, if you are being a jerk or have been one and are afraid of being put on the list, start behaving with honesty and dignity, if you dont want to, well the word is going to get around with or without the list. People do communicate but I would say you have just hung your self with all of your negativity. IT looks to me that the OP wrote and ran, has not been back... must have had a lot to hide. I still dont see the do not date.... list anywhere, was this just a question????
It is not just women that get upset when treated badly, it is a human reaction to pain, or rejection.
Oh well, it is over, he is gone and we dont have to worry about it anymore....

Posted: 6/2/2007 9:19:45 AM | Personally, I think it is an unintelligent idea to add such a feature!
I like the idea that someone threw out about using something similar to eBays point system...you could rate a user, but the user should also have the OPTION to delete same.
Is this something different than the testimonials? Because I HATE the concept of testimonials...as you can see from my profile, I wrote my own to be a smartazz!
I had a former "friend" on here submit a testimonial "on my behalf"...without first asking me or telling me...and then got psycho pissed when I deleted it...blocking my emails that tried to explain my opinion on the feature.
To me, seeing testionials from people only makes me wonder WHY THE HECK THEY ARE NOT WITH THE PERSON, if that person is so friggin' fantabulous?! AND...so many are based on (such is the case with the person who "testimonied me!") a handful of email exchanges, with someone they NEVER met in person and don't even KNOW factually that they are who they say they are! We are all guilty of creating profiles that make us appealing...I mean...this is a sales tactic of sorts...so WHY would I choose to date someone based on the testimonial from someone who things did not work out with? I also do not go to my boyfriends ex wife and ask HER if she thinks he is datable/fukkable/marriageable! Uh duh! | |

No one is perfect and maybe you need to take a good look at yourself. Never know, you may see what someone else is seeing and understand why they may have said what they did. Just a suggestion. | |

Posted: 6/2/2007 2:00:29 PM | heres the situation as 1 silly american sees it, the dnd list is not something the administrator can be held legally responsible for unless he is the one posting defaming remarks on the list.it would be extremely difficult to prove in a court of law considering that you would have to prove that the person who posted intentionally posted falsified information with the knowledge that it was not true and with the intent to cause harm to the reputation of the subject of the post.firrst you would have to prove it was a lie and its hard to prove a negative.second you would have to prove the poster had knowledge that the info was a lie and intended to cause harm.these posts are a matter of opinion and opinions are subjective.
from a safety standpoint,as im sure we have all encountered our share of creeps and crazies, it could have some merit(stalkers, abusive persons etc.).my concern is that it could become an outlet for those prone to juvenile vengeful behavior(the he /she isnt interested and im entitled for them to be interested so ill make sure no one wants to talk to them scenario or the if no one else wants them thell have no choice but to be with me types or they hurt my feelings so this is a great way to make sure their not happy scenario.)
this could be a helpful tool or a stage for those that are not adult enough to handle rejection,but this all contingent upon how its used.as for suing pof admin legally its just not going to happen for you and morally this is a free site created with the intent of helping people to meet and connect without having to be rejected by a self professed omnicient like some of the paid sites .So leave if you must but lets just all play nice shall we?and to 1 ez going guy please, for future reference try to sound more enlightened when you lump us silly americans into categories that you know nothing about.your post screams out desperate to hide significant insecurities with condescention and pseudointellectualism.thanks.

It is good that the courts are sustaining these jurisdictional motions. As stated in the order it'd be very bad if we all had to worry about being sued in random states and the expenses that would cause. Unfortunately it can cost a few thousand dollars just to file the challenge to jurisdiction. So even getting the suit thrown out is still expensive. | |

The site in question states that their membership grew three-fold since the suit was filed. Wouldn't it be something if it turns out to be just a brilliant marketing strategy? | |

Stupid people and slinkies have one thing in common. neither one is good for much, but push them down a flight of stairs...just try not to giggle!!
I am leaving this site purely for this new feature which not only is descriminatory, but open this site to litigation and lawsuit.
Slander: . Law. defamation by oral utterance rather than by writing, pictures, etc.
does not apply to this web site.
Glass houses... though written comments may not be slander, they may certainly be libelous either of which may give rise to a cause of action. | |

Posted: 6/2/2007 3:15:26 PM | I think its actually a great Idea......
But to me, I take it the way I take life in general......
and that is......
" If someone says something about you behind your back,
Dont mind them, it just means your two steps ahead of them." ...
But at the same time," What happen to the law that states, The accused has a right to face the accuser."....??? | |

Oh, please. Let's not get into the slander vs. libel thing again. Just call it defamation if you want to be that generic. But I see no reason to be so pedantic about the subject in a forum like this. | |

Posted: 6/4/2007 3:15:07 PM | | I like the 'Do Not Date List" idea, and so what if it's bitter people writing it! Obviouly the person they are writing about did something to make them bitter. Now if it's out and out lies then that's not good, but hey if you don't want people to talk bad about you then don't do anything that would make them talk! | |

Obviouly(sic) the person they are writing about did something to make them bitter.
Or not. There are emotionally unsound people who do not exist in the same state of reality as the majority. A jilted lover, for example, may want to bash his/her ex because they want their ex to "suffer." Every story has (at least) two sides, and by enabling this kind of feature / web site, it permits only one side to be told. People's reputations could be damaged by a vindictive person. If that person was angry / hateful / vindictive enough, they could solicit friends to add testimony, or even create multiple profiles for the purpose of bashing someone.
Also, Nobody can make me anything. I can choose to be bitter about something, or I can choose to let it go, like water over a dam. The best revenge is living well! | |

Posted: 6/4/2007 5:34:08 PM | At the time the dnd list was going on a women that was banned from POF started a site called the slimeyfishalerter. It's a nothing site BUT they have a man on there listed with a link to his POF profile. What was described about him was NOTHING except he asked a women from POF to come over to his house after a few emails. SHE thought he was a slimey fish and put his profile up on the site.
I tried to contact admin about this so they could let the man know he was being slandered but admin said they knew nothing about the site. When I tried to email admin back with the site info admin blocked me. This man doesn't even know he is on the list with a link to his profile.
This is a perfect example of what can happen. ANYBODY for any reason can list someone. | |

IF this list is open to misuse Gents, then misuse it! Choke it with lots and lots of girls that do not appeal or all the guys in your area (especially your real competition!)....guerilla tactics
