Harassment at Steve's Hobby

Give me a break.

Yup, that's the solution for boorish behavior.... another law suit. What damages have the parties really suffered? Geez, more of the courts time taken up with another frivolous suit.

Don't spend any more money there, tell others and move on.

That's the "American" way. :-)

Why must you Americans sue sue sue.....

Rodney King was right "Can't we all just get along?"

Seriously though "Just get over it" seems more appropriate. Forget about it and take your business elsewhere. Enjoy the 4th - see a fireworks show.

These are the kinds of conversations that make the Taliban hate us :-)

Do the manly thing and challenge him to a duel at sundown, out by the OK Corral.

This would be a stupid lawsuit to pursue and it would not and will not ever go further than here on this newsgroup.

Stupid advice.

Why didn't you ask him to apologize?

To contact me: Reply to this - correct the adress using this info: "Keep the image, but turn off the sound"

Or have him step out back of the store.

Mmmmmm.....tort.....chocolate pecan tort......

It's cheaper than sending Alonzo and Guido to break his legs.

Because there are laws against that sort of behavior. And the way the laws are structured in this country, you can sue anybody for anything in tort law. Remember: It's the lawyers who wrote the laws. One of their major interests in tort legislation is keeping lawyers like themselves employed.

You also need to realize that America graduated HUGE numbers of law students in the 80s. We have WAYYYYY too many. Can we send a few your way?

I agree. Not enough witnesses, double-entendres. No real economic loss. Hurt feelings to be sure. Not clear-cut enough for a jury in my mind.

Spread the word and avoid the place like the plague.

Not from the lawyer's point of view. Billable hours...

What? To Atlanta? No thanks....

I'm generally with LynnM on this one, as stated by the phrase, "it is also prosecutable criminal behavior" (meaning the harassment part). However, I disagree with the sentiment that "Someone needs to sue this man into bankruptcy," which sounds like one is pursuing a vendetta. However, I DO agree with the civil component of a legal action.

Last I checked, simply offending someone with boorish behavior hasn't yet been deemed a violation of their civil rights. Folks really need to read up on how harassment is defined legally in Ohio before encouraging someone to file what appears to be a weak lawsuit. Some states require there to be repeated behavior for a crime to have been committed. It might be more wise to leave opinions on whether crimes were committed up to folks licensed to practice law in the state of Ohio, and not to Internet legal novices.

Quite frankly, I think the idea of suing over an incident such as this is just plain idiotic. I'd simply take my business elsewhere. If I were to consider legal action over someone else exersising their constitutional right to be a moron, I'd have to question my own intelligence, and if I should get a grip by growing a thicker skin...

Other than they aren't online? Actual location is 5834 Monroe in Sylvania.

There is another thread that has the guys name and store in it.
