Obviously, since my initial full-page ad in the 1980 GamePlan magazine, placed opposite the Notre Dame summary for maximum impact, clearly stated that I was a sports handicapper, and since that ad was viewed by hundreds of thousands of people, I have always stated exactly what I was doing.
Since I was included in Playbook newsletters for decades, which sold hundreds of thousands of issues, and likely in the millions, and I was competing as a handicapper, clearly I stated my expertise and business.
Since I was also on television in the Buffalo cable handicap in the same handicapper capacity, which was viewed by hundreds of thousands cumulatively, clearly I was stating what I do.
And since I actually filed federal taxes as a "professional gambler" on more than one occasion, most of these points are moot, but I do consider myself a handicapper as opposed to a professional gambler.
Now, if you do not provide a corrective notation to kewlJ's posts that are slandering me, you are responsible in part or whole for the slander.
I am requesting a physical address for you so I can provide proper documentation and allow you to hands-on verify all of my personal information and do the responsible thing. Allowing an anonymous poster to repeatedly say provably incorrect and damaging information about a real person who has run a real, tangible business is not the way someone hosting a "Poker Fraud Alert" site should behave. You are allowing "Posting Fraud" that is both factually provably false and damaging to my reputation.

Big nope.
I already answered your other thread about it.
I suggest you familiarize yourself with Section 230 of the 1996 Communications Decency Act.
Section 230 protects online platforms like this one from liability for third-party content posted by their users, allowing them to host content without fear of lawsuits for defamation or other claims.
If you wish to attempt to take legal action against kewlJ, that's up to you. I am not liable, nor will I take down any of his posts, unless they give out personal information (which you didn't already post yourself).
You are welcome to rebut his claims at any time.
With that said, if you'd like to send me a copy here (or email, if you'd like my email address) of the documentation to verify that you're telling the truth, I will be glad to acknowledge receipt of this and give my opinion publicly.
Obviously I am no friend of kewlJ's, and have no bias in his favor.
