His message board. Last I checked, the board was moderated and all messages had to be pre-approved by a moderator, but it looks like one fellow has found his way around that. Congrats, Mr. Lignatron.

Don't forget to check out his message board's terms of use. Oddly enough, you're not allowed to mention the fact that the owner of the company sues his customers (and everyone else, for that matter). Any mention of the lawsuit that makes it onto his board is deleted very quickly. That doesn't mean you shouldn't try, though. Even if the message gets stuck in an approval queue and never get posted by a moderator, as seems to be the general case, one of his moderators will still have to take the time to delete it. And I get the feeling that his moderators might not even know about the lawsuit, or else they won't associate with him.

One piece of advice to those attacking his message board: if the goal is to warn his customers about what his company is up to, linking to Petsforum, TheDefenseFund, or this Slashdot story would be MUCH more effective than linking to goatse.cx. Our goal is to bring his behavior into public light, not to gross people out. That's what we have Slashdot for. I know old habits die hard, but this is a chance for us to put our trolling/crapflooding skills to good use, and work for a higher goal.

It's funny how after the lawsuit business started, Bob Novak changed the name of his message board to "The Civilized Pet Forum." Yeah, right.

Then there are the requistite requisite mailto links. What good would this post be without the requisite mailto links? Keep these requisite mailto links in mind for future use. These requisite mailto links make the world go round!

Let me get this straight: There are some negitive comments on mailing lists and boards. Why bring attention to your company's bad reputation? Is he trying to bring down his company with him? Maybe it's just the /. effect, but the website seems to be down right now

petswarehouse.com has been/.'ed. Keep up the good work!

I can't even get to the Pets Warehouse site!

petswarehouse.com has been /.'ed. Keep up the good work!

I have recently learned of a company with a rather similar name to yours, Petswarehouse.com.

This other company has enganged in numerous frivolous lawsuits against ordinary Internet consumers for speaking their mind. Information here.

Due to the similarity of your company's name to his, I wanted to inform you that their could be a risk of potential customers confusing your site with his. All the bad publicity his site has recieved could potentially hurt your business, as potential customers get confused, and think your company is the one performing these consumer-unfriendly, immoral acts.

You may want to bring it to the attention of your lawyers that there is a company with a confusingly similar name, that has generated a large amount of bad publicity that could potentially hurt your business. I'm sure your lawyers can advise you of an appropriate course of action.

Thank you for your time, A concerned citizen.

In case of slashdotting, here is a comment from the petswarehouse.com website that I saved:

Here's a nice story found at www.libn.com about the owner of petswarehouse.com (Robert Novak). If you're one of his customers, you might be interested to hear how he deals with complaints:

Begin quote:

PetsWarehouse.com founder dries out aquarists in courts
by KEN SCHACHTER
This is a tale of underwater gardeners (also known as aquarists), a Copiague businessman, the Internet, a $15 million libel suit and a long and twisting path through the justice system.

At issue: What are the limits of free speech on the Internet?

Think you can castigate a company online with impunity? Think again. You could find yourself on the receiving end of a heavy lawsuit.

The first shot in what has become an epic legal battle was fired last May 15. That's when Dan Resler, a professor in the mathematical sciences department of Virginia Commonwealth University, posted a notice on an online bulletin board of aquatic plant hobbyists.

"Thinking of buying plants from Pet Warehouse[sic]? Don't. What is crappy is their service! And they're maybe even a bit dishonest."

That comment came after Resler bought a plant and felt he was overcharged for shipping.

Resler's online comments triggered an outpouring from others on the bulletin board. Many chimed in with comments like: "Remember petSWEARhouse, buy their plants and you'll be swearing!"

The businessman in question is Robert Novak, who does business as PetsWarehouse.com (www.petswarehouse.com). The online pet shop shares space at his son's store, Pets Warehouse, in Copiague, he said.

Within weeks of the postings, Novak was in court. In a lawsuit dated May 30, 2001, and filed in federal eastern district court, Novak named Resler, several other bulletin board participants and Active Window Publications Inc., which hosts the bulletin board.

The old saw says that an attorney who represents himself has a fool for a lawyer. Whoever made that up didn't envisage Novak, who is serving as his own lawyer. Novak doesn't have a law degree, but he is an old hand at legal wranglings. Talk to him and he cites case law, chapter and verse.

"It's my hobby," he said.

In fact, companies like this really need all the business they can get, so it helps them very much if more and more people visit their site more often. Imagine all the business they will do!

Please note that Pets' Warehouse is the offending company, not Pet Warehouse, a perfectly legitamate business.

petswarehouse.com has been /.'ed. Keep up the good work!

The Robert Novak you're thinking of is the sometimes competent and sometimes wildly partisan conservative columnist and talking head.

The Robert Novak in this story is a sociopathic bully and owner of a horrible online pet store (/., please).

In investigating the petswarehouse website I discovered this link which lists the 20th page of products that have the letter 'a' in the name.

Now, don't everybody hit that up a lot because selecting everything with 'a' from their database, and then jumping to the 20th page is a lot of work and it would cause unneeded strain on their website.

However, it's very useful if you are interested in viewing the depth of the petswarehouse catalog.

We're currently /.ing the shitdyke plaintiff's website, Professor Faggot Q. Boredom's Lame-U-Cational Cocksuckery. (Alright, I stole that last bit from an Onion article. Shit, that's funny.)

Please, please please, refrain from emailing him your porn jokes, your 5MB core files or random content from your trash can "requesting for information", and certainely don't enrol him into some gay mailing-lists.

"slashdottin my site? thats a paddle'in" (jasper)

http://www.petswarehouse.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimateb b.cgi :"Sorry, this bulletin board is temporarily unavailable, while we perform some routine maintenance. Please try back again later."

Could it be in any way related to somebody having posted the address here ?

Hmmm.. Their website, PetsWarehouse.com, doesn't seem to responding.

Wouldn't an easier and more effective treatment be to slashdot them?

Your suggestion appears to be working. :-) (Then again, maybe it's just the crappy DSL connection at work that's sluggish...it's hard to tell conclusively.)

There is a chat forum on his site:

Dont buy from Pets Warehouse! They are known to be communists and homosexuals! And they won't deliver your products on time either. If you buy from them you will get screwed and tattooed! We should all kick Robert Novak's ass!

Found this on petswarehouse.com: "Questions? 1-800-991-3299 or 631-789-5400". My first question for the guy who answers is "What do you think of Free Speech?"

This is, of course, hilarious, but I reccommend more sever action. PetsWarehouse is endangering our internet.

Wouldn't an easier and more effective treatment be to slashdot them?

Or would that cause Slashdot to get sued for conspiracy?

On the main page of his site he has the Gomez certification logo at the bottom. This in fact is misrepresentation since Gomez certifications have all expired according to Gomez.com.
Here is the quote.
"We regret to announce that the Gómez Merchant Certification program has ceased operations as of March 31, 2002. In light of this decision, Gómez will not conduct any further merchant certifications. We will also remove all references to Gómez Merchant Certification other than this notice on Gómez.com on April 1, 2002. Merchants currently certified under the Gómez Certification program should remove all references, logos and/or images of the Gómez Merchant Certification program displayed on their sites or affiliate sites by March 31, 2002.
Man, what an idiot. Can we sue him for that?

Looks like PetsWarehouse.com has a message board. Maybe all us slashdoters should go over there and post our opinions on the topic.

Actually, that isn't exactly what happened. On that list there is a long time trend of getting advice on where to shop (think about it, there aren't that many places to buy aquatic plants...tiny hobbie). One guy offered his opinion. Dozens more chimed in with similar stories (not just "me too"). One guy's complaint was overcharged shipping, but there were many others (including delayed shipping running into the multiple weeks, dead plants upon arrival, etc). There are just too many people that agreed for me to think he made it up. Plus, check the history of the case. The plaintiff continuously adds people each time someone says something negative about this their experiences, or even about the suit. My favorite part? Two of the defendants are John Doe and Mary Roe (in essence anyone else from the APD that he decides to add). More confusion is that he has claimed, in another article that filing suits is his "hobby." He also admits that the court is five miles from him, so it is a short drive, while each defendant has to pay for a plane ticket and motel to appear in court. The guy enjoys this. Read some of the amended complaints he has written, some are funny, most are sad, and generally all are poorly written. Why? Oh, he's representing himself. Wait, you say, how can a non-lawyer represent a corporation (Pets Warehouse Inc.)? Well, it can't, but he is doing it anyway. As soon as they sort out whether or not his company is incorporated or a sole-proprietorship maybe this will go away (if is is INC as he says, he can't represent it). For more information (and trust me, this is more about free speech and the internet than it is about plants or aquariums) here are some sites: Forum for the suits discussion (generally pro defendants) Forum hosted by the plaintiff (he has a habit of deleting messages, and blocking posters, as is his right, but be aware it will only have ONE side) The defense fund's web site A collection of court documents hosted by the lawyer in charge of the fund And, finally, to archives of the original messages, so you can read it yourself, and see what REALLY happened
