this press release, like all his other press releases, is now being spread far and wide over the spammy areas of the internet:

"Boston, MA-NH (1888PressRelease) May 08, 2013 - Jon Monsarrat announced this week that as part of an Internet defamation case, he will expose the real identities and addresses of 100 cyber bullies as part of his new cyber investigation service. The dotcom era icon and Internet expert was previously the founder and first CEO of Turbine, which makes games like Lord of the Rings Online and Dungeons and Dragons Online and was bought by Warner Brothers for $160 million in 2010."

Agree. The person who has exposed Mr. P. to flak and potential legal consequences by putting Mr. P.'s name on the press release is Mr. Monsarrat and nobody else. My opinion is that this is an unconscionable thing for Monsarrat to have done to Mr. P. given the family circumstances others have discussed.

Can we save the outrage for the person who deserves it---the person who named Mr. P. as the contact person in the press release? I get why Mr. P. isn't making addressing this a priority, and I have every sympathy for him and his family, but "who is this guy and why is he publicizing the person who claims to be suing me?" is a reasonable reaction from those of us who are strangers to Mr. P., and not one that deserves scolding.

(I use Mr. P's initial here because I don't want to add further to associating him with the lawsuit.)

That depends on whether or not Mr P agreed to be the VP of JonMon's company. If he didn't and JonMon listed him as such without his knowledge, then JonMon is in really big trouble and I have immense sympathy for him. On the other hand, if he did, as the saying goes: lie down with stray dogs, get up with fleas.

perhaps i am too forgiving. actually i know that in general i am usually too forgiving haha. but still, i see no reason to focus any energy on this guy. the fact is, we don't know what his involvement is, and there are multiple reports of his wife being very seriously ill in some way or another.

he probably does deserve some serious criticism, but we just don't know what that situation is at all, and should hold off on our judgements of a man who is, right now, taking care of his very ill wife. until we know what's actually happening.

that's just my opinion though.
