A post was apparently made on this system 7 months ago about a user's supposed negative experience in a transaction with a Charles Fitch of Canton Michigan, AKA Chuck Fitch, AKA MichiganClassicArcade.com, AKA 995Sunglasses.com, AKA 1995watches.com, AKA urlhammer.com, AKA 'dkbuilder' (banned) on this site, AKA 'mclassic' (banned) on this site.

He has been banned for a variety of reasons, including threats against this site, having duplicate accounts here, and posting messages in which he pretends to be his own customers talking about their supposed great experiences buying from Michigan Classic Arcade of Canton Michigan!
Forum user 'dkbuilder' sent us a message through the forum 'contact us' form today:
To Charles:
Of course you notified the web host (twice this morning), and as the host we hereby confirm receipt of your two messages. Your 'Legal Department' has threatened us and the regular staff is unable to assist you. If you wish further communication with this ISP, please contact us in writing (and not by email) using the contact information found on this page: http://www.webmagic.com/contact.php
Alternatively, if you wish to withdraw your threat and obtain the cooperation of the thread's original poster, the staff can attempt to assist a thread's original poster in understanding his or her options regarding their own postings.
Please note that 'slander' refers to 'false accusations most often made verbally, or sometimes in form of bodily gestures'.
It's also curious that you find such urgency in the matter as to threaten to sue us if we don't comply within 24 hours when you yourself started posting responses in the same thread last summer (7/10/10 username: mclassic).
On another matter, we will have to ask you not to post on these forums any further. By your own admittance you have attempted to deceive users here. First you have stated as a fact that you are the holder of the 'dkbuilder' account here, and then you posted at least one message falsely pretending to be a customer buying from yourself and encouraging others to do so too. http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=169221 When called on it by a user, you denied it and reported their post. Fortunately for us, you sent us the same message at the same time from (a) your sunglass site, and (b) from the forums on the same computer that was used to access the 'dkbuilder' account.
Additionally it is also probably not appropriate to use our free services while you are threatening to sue this organization.
To Everyone Else:
FYI. As noticed on the thread here, and at the bottom of the 995sunglasses.com page ('Site Duplication will result in legal action.'), individuals and companies threatening legal action show up in life occasionally.
Please remember that each poster is responsible for the content of their own messages, and not this or any other ISP.
For both coutesy and legal reasons, please consider the content of any post you are thinking about before you post it anywhere on the Internet, and if posting something potentially critical of another, that it is well advised to limit your comments to the following (copied from Wikipedia):
- Statements made in a good faith and reasonable belief that they were true; or
- Opinion; or
- Fair comment on a matter of public interest (such as regarding official acts); or
--
Back to the original threat received today. We belief the person likely is who they claim to be, as they claim they are. Here is their matching public 'whois' data. The 995sunglasses.com domain is missing its 'Registrant' name. The other related domains match though:

Forum user 'dkbuilder' sent us a message through the forum 'contact us' form today:
Additionally Charles Fitch sent this email to us:I am the owner of 995sunglasses.com and I noticed a thread with my real name in it and website, I need you to remove this asap out of this thread before I file a court injunction with a judge here in Michigan to have it removed or to have you shut down. I have already notified your web host and registrar of the violation. You have 24 hours to remove this.

You can keep the thread up but remove my first and last name and website domain off of it.
If it is not removed I will have my lawyer deal with this matter. And this case will be filed in 35th District Court of Playmouth, MI
thank you

The email likely comes from who it claims to be from (see below). We are responding via email, and here in case our email does not arrive.http://forums.arcade-museum.com/showthread.php?t=140168
this thread contains my real name and website shopping domain. Please remove my personal information and domain from this thread because it is slanderous in nature. I do not have an ebay account nor ever did I have an ebay account so this information is false and because my real name matches the one in your thread along with my domain, it is slanderous.
I am giving you 24 hours to remove this information from this thread or I will have my lawyer look into this and file a court injunction on this to either shut down your site or have the information removed from a Judge.
Case will be filed here at the 35th District Court in Plymouth, MI
thank you
