BellaOnline Forums Career Nonfiction Writing Named Web Sites

OK I thought I'd seen it all, but I just got this email from "ULovMe4evR@aol.com":

You don't know me, but, I think it's just totally awful for you taking someone elses credits from her. Lisa Shea I don't that is your real name! I know this for a fact. Cuz, I have a friend that her REAL name is : Lisa Shea n she belongs with Columbia Records. So, If you don't want a LAWSUIT against you. You should change the name of ur WEBsite!

Ummmmmmmmmmm so there's only one Lisa Shea in the world, is that her claim?

Lisa, I have met no fewer than 54 jessica douglas'. In utah alone! I don't even want to think how many of us are out here! Anyway, your name is not a copyrighted item. Sorry, if we all copyrighted our names, we'd run out of names to use for new babies pretty quickly! And this person also assumes (hehe I love that word <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> ) that you are claiming to be the lisa shea s/he knows. You can only have law suits like that if a company is taking YOU and using YOU for profit. (as in taking your entire life story to make a movie.) Since I've never heard you claim to work at columbia records, obviously you aren't doing that <img src="/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Or perhaps that other woman is pretending to be you, Lisa Shea, owner of a world-famous women's website. <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

I couldn't even begin to imagine what she was thinking. How could she think there was only one person in the world with each name? I would think being alive for more than a year or two would quickly prove that to be wrong.

Actually my thought was that her friend Lisa Shea wanted to have a website and was upset when she found that her "name was taken". So she was trying to intimidate me into giving up the site so that she could take it over. Hmmmmmmm.

LOL, I just got a vision of you, going out of your way to find THIS one lisa shea, just to take her name! (supposedly you'd have some evil reason for stealing from her... maybe she stole your fav pet chinchilla? Revenge is a popular movie motive) I think that person watches too much tv, you know, all those movies and tv shows about lawsuits and copyrights.

I'm having enough trouble keeping 4 cats going in happy harmony <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Never mind adding chinchillas into the mix!! <img src="/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
