If it was not true, yes it would be harassment/defamation.

i meant w/ the pic & actual events in his neighborhood being harassment & the false statements being defamation.

Truth is a legitimate defense to defamation.

yes it is. but, i'm assuming the flyer would be intended to disturb or intimidate the target. is fish correct, that it has to be a recurring action to be considered 'harassment'?

That is the gray area you run into with this sort of stuff. If my intent were to inform the community of a danger to it, then it's public concern and permissible.

It's simple: He's an idiot.

If he went through the effort of taking out a damn billboard, it's in direct geometric-proportion to how much of an #### the man is.

All I heard when reading the article was: "Waaaaaaaaahhhh I need to humiliate her because she made me feel kaka inside waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh"

Another retard manchild.

And yes, this would apply to a woman in his position as well.

If I were her I would have laughed in his damn face and pointed all this out to him. Let him have his billboard if it makes him feel better. He was the idiot for putting his own face on it

by the way:

It's hard to believe that it took 155 posts until we can arrive at this accurate summary. Well, at least got there after all.

The difference between merely being an arsehole and commiting harassment is intent. If I printed up a bunch of flyers with Slim's face on it with a warning of his criminal past and posted it all over his neighborhood, that is being an arsehole. Now, If i distorted it and said he was a murderer or a pedo, that would be harassment. See the difference Slim?

The creator of the billboard posted a picture of himself and a message about "the mother." Arsehole, maybe. Distortion? Quite a stretch.

Judge Tells Ex-Boyfriend to Remove Abortion Billboard

Published June 23, 2011

">ALMOGORDO, N.M. – A state district judge Thursday ordered an Alamogordo man to immediately take down a billboard that implies his ex-girlfriend had an abortion.

State District Judge James Counts issued the ruling as part of protective order the woman sought after Greg Fultz, 35, took out the sign on the city's main thoroughfare in mid-May.

The billboard shows Fultz holding the outline of an infant. The text reads, "This Would Have Been A Picture Of My 2-Month Old Baby If The Mother Had Decided To Not KILL Our Child!"

Fultz's ex-girlfriend has taken him to court for harassment and violation of privacy. A domestic court official had recommended the billboard be removed.

But Fultz's attorney said his client is adamant about protecting his free speech rights and will appeal.

"He said he is prepared to go to jail for this," attorney Todd Holmes said.

"His position is that this billboard is not really about her. It's about his statement of fathers' rights."

It was unclear if the woman had an abortion or a miscarriage.

Her attorney, Ellen Jessen, said earlier this month that she has not discussed the pregnancy with her client because that was not the point. The central issue is her client's privacy and the fact that the billboard has caused severe emotional distress, she said.

Jessen didn't immediately respond Thursday to a call and email seeking comment.
