Firstly, Dubya2004 registered with the Libertarian Party moments before filing this lawsuit, for the express purpose of having legal standing to do so:
Fritz this is going to far. Any party has the right to post the link to their forum if they wish. You do not have the power and/or authority to restrict them for their ads or activity. Its out of your authority and I ask you to immediately cease and desist this activity or I will go to the Supreme Court.
Take me to court then.
I plan on it.
I sued him. I have legal standing as I am a now a Libertarian party member.
Secondly, I was in contact with the Libertarian Party chairman, Badnarikin04, via private message before I removed the link to his party's site. This was his response to me:
This was his comment today:
I actually had no problem allowing the forum to be removed. Nobody was using it anyways.
The ad in question was for Passion.com- "sexy personals for passionate people". As we have many members in the neighborhood of 13-14 years, I felt this was inappropriate to be linked to from the forum.
Maintaining AF Headquarters is a job I took on after the 9/22 disaster, as StevenNick (who had previously been maintaining Headquarters) did not appear to be taking steps to restore it. As long as I am maintaining the Headquarters, I am within my rights to determine the criteria for being linked therein. Furthermore, my criteria are clearly posted, and I do make attempts to make parties involved aware of a problem before removing their link.
If the Court wishes to remove me as administrator of Headquarters, that will require the cooperation of Gustaf, to un-sticky my thread and sticky a different thread in its place.
Thank you, and may Dave bless the forum.
