Carlos E. Jean-Gilles proves conclusively that he’s obsessed with me
This last month has been...interesting, to say the least. I’d have blogged about this earlier, but I’ve been dealing with an ongoing illness that has required some hospitalization. Because of that, this update will be rather long. There is a lot to cover.
So, to set the scene, the last week of August, Carlos flew out to Seattle, WA for what was supposed to be a business meeting with the man he’d chosen to be his business partner, to finalize and incorporate said venture. Something didn’t go according to plan, and he returned home sans Corporation and also having gained an ex business partner.
But, what does this failed trip have to do with me? Ah, good question, Gentle Reader. Well, a few days after returning, Carlos decides to take his most recent failure out on me, yet again. I apologize in advance for the nauseating and convoluted mess that is Carlos’ mind at work. Carlos also took some cheap potshots at the man he had previously referred to as his “brother by another mother”, (while the gentleman in question chose the high road and disengaged himself from Carlos with far more grace and diplomacy than Carlos was able to muster) in the middle of sniping at me:
Point of Law here: I’ve already pointed this out, but it bears repeating: the copyright law he’s referring to that deals with written text only covers works such as books, short stories, poems, screen plays, lyrics, ect. -marketable works, NOT opinions or ideas. Images are actually covered by a different law.
Again, ideas and opinions are not subject to copyright, unless they are specifically published in a marketable venue such as a memoir or biography, and then, only if said publishing occurred first.
Uhm, no. Facebook will never give a litigant a users IP address. They will however give LAW ENFORCEMENT that information, but Law Enforcement is required to redact that information before releasing a report to the litigant.
Furthermore, Carlos already knows that I’m “judgment proof”. I’ve never made it a secret that I’m on SSI and have been for over 10 years now. He knows this, but is still hell-bent on continuing to lie about me in a poor attempt to make himself look good.
And again, I do not have any fake Facebook accounts, and never have.
He just can’t help but snipe at his former business partner. I’m guessing that since he’s hell-bent on literally making a Federal case out of this, it stands to reason that he’d attack even close friends who dare to commit this unforgivable sin, no matter how long ago.
And oooohh...I’m a nemesis! Ego much there, Carlos?
As to why I chose tumblr over Facebook? There are two reasons, actually. The first is that tumblr is a “neutral party”, where as Facebook is where his harassment and bullying is going on, and secondly, Facebook’s “Notes” feature is woefully inadequate for this sort of record-keeping. Nothing more, nothing less.
The Ventura v. American Sniper case is in no way similar to what he’s trying to say here. It’s apples and oranges. The man in the bar could have been proven to not be Jesse Ventura if Chris Kyle had actually done a bit of research. Here, Carlos can’t slime his way out of the nasty things he keeps saying about me, because it’s posted here for all the world to see. And that’s what this is all about: he wants to hide his ugly side to potential “investors”.
Furthermore, how does not reading my defenses against his nastiness make him “not a bully”? I do not post false allegations. I post exactly what he writes about me. He’s afraid, and needs the truth to be buried.
How can he “inform” me of anything, if he has me blocked? He can’t.
I have never been found to be in violation of Carlos’ copyright either on Facebook, or here (keep this in mind for later). I have no idea who he reported, but it wasn’t me. He has never once been able to provide any sort of proof that I have ever said anything against him, and uses his mistaken “understanding” of copyright law as his excuse for not doing so. Well, you know what? I hereby give him permission to post anything he has against me that would prove his side of things. He won’t, because he can’t. He even admits as much, and I’ll get to that. According to Carlos’ claims, if he’s had that many of my posts taken down, my account should have been disabled long ago. It has never, not even for a second, ever been disabled. Where’s the proof that he claims to have??
And then, he admits that he does have the funds to sue me now...the $25,000 that he’d originally taken from his wife Kari’s retirement fund to start his Corporation.
Now, about him filing a complaint against my account here,...
That “screenshot” he provides? Yeah, it’s nothing but a screenshot of his Google Search. I’ve already blogged about his Google Search ineptitude.
Now, how do I know what his excuse for not providing me any proof is? He thinks it’s a slick reason, but it’s a cowards shield:
So, he posts this, but when you click on the “Edited”, this shows up:
See? He claims I’m trying to “entrap” him. Seriously? I have no idea who’s account he’s targeting but I assure you it’s not mine. And again, to sound like a broken record: He’s never gotten anything taken down from my account, on any social media platform. Period. The take down notices I posted are legit, and are still in my Support Inbox. However, I was mistaken in one thing...those 2 takedown notices weren’t for his old FOSBO-turned-Emporium Group photo album. Those were removed back in 2012, and I have the emails to prove it. The screenshots I posted that he’s calling fakes were against his actual personal account, and were removed on or around May of 2013.
Ugh. The infamous “Vilified” post, again. I’ve posted it in a previous update, and it’s a clear response to something he said first. He conveniently deleted it, but his whiny question was “Why is everyone on this board vilifying me?” I replied, using his own word, and explained to him that he was being a bully.
Seriously, for a self-proclaimed author, Carlos knows better. He should already know that Amazon recently went to an exclusive listing program called “KDP Select”, which requires any author selling on Amazon to list exclusively with only Amazon...not only at a cost, but at a dismal “per page read” payout, rather than the entire work as a whole.
I don’t read his posts. As he says, he has me blocked, so I can’t see anything he writes. I do however have friends who keep me informed. And I post the screenshots they send me of his attacks here to protect myself.
I have never sold a Facebook Page, ever. I have a couple of Pages, but all of them have under a thousand Likes. Furthermore, it has been impossible to “sell” Pages like he’s suggesting for awhile now, as you cannot change the name of a Page with over 500 “likes”...at least not easily. And I never tried to sell him anything. I wouldn’t sell him anything at all, even if he was offering a million dollars for it, and had the cash in hand.
Oh, but this silly saga isn’t over yet!
A couple days later, he tries to weasel out of his stupid post with this lame excuse. He was HAXORD!!! The funny thing? There were never any “photos”...just the text that he posted and then edited off the thread so that it was hidden. And the previously edited out (hidden) text is added to the post.
And now, on to his attack on my tumblr account here:
The link he posts there, and then claims is something I posted, is actually a link to another tumblr users account. That person simply reblogged (”shared” in Facebook parlance) my post were I uploaded Carlos’ own words on people with Autism. I assume they found the post because of the way I hashtagged that particular post. I have no idea who that person is.
Again, he has exactly ZERO “takedowns” against me, on any platform, anywhere. Not here, not on Facebook, not anywhere. He’s got it stuck in his head that virtually anyone who doesn’t like him or stands up for themselves against him “must” be me.
He’s absolutely convinced that anyone using the “Hal Ninek” name is the same person (presumably me), willfully choosing to remain ignorant of the fact that “Hal Ninek” is in reference to the famous computer HAL9000 from the 1968 movie “2001: A Space Odyssey”, and that many people use that moniker.
And I just love that “I got HAXRD!!” excuse yet again. Apparently that is his new fall-back explanation for his abhorrent behavior: “HACKERS did it!!”. Also, I only knew the persona that called himself “Hal Ninek” for a few brief months, and only due to Carlos’ own extremely bad behavior on the old Facebook Help Forum.
Again, those take down notices are still in my Facebook Support Inbox, and should he succeed in filing a case against me, I will more than gladly show them to the Court, directly from my account.
I’ve already speculated that the letter he refers to was actually sent to “himself” and his Mother-in-Law by...Carlos himself. The envelopes were certainly mailed from his city.
As to his mental health, he’s going to need to take that up with his sisters, who both confirmed that he had in fact been hospitalized in a mental facility for much of 2014...and that he sued one of those sisters for fraudulently taking a loan against property he claims to co-own, but doesn’t. The Court Transcript regarding the disposition of the case is a matter of Public Record, and is not in Carlos’ favor.
That google link he provides simply leads right back to...this post. And he thinks that somehow this proves “multiple” reports?
The thing is, I checked with tumblr Legal back in February:
I took their advise, both in the links and by talking to a Copyright Attorney. Guess what? I’m in the right here. Apparently tumblr Legal feels the same, because Carlos was sniveling about it yesterday:
I’m not even going to bother defending tumblr...they’re fully capable of doing that for themselves. I’ve already explained why I chose tumblr to keep this record.
Oh, but he wasn’t done sniping me yesterday. Out on the Help Forum, which he swore he was quitting, he just couldn’t help himself yet again. At least this time, he was careful enough to avoid using my name:
Speaking of the Facebook Help Forum, I’m just going to leave this here:
“No PUR filter, no stars!”
