Man this is crazy! Here I am falsely accussed of a crime and the very individuals involved have the balls to get on this ComplaintsBoard.com to bash me. Amazing to me what people can do to others. Why do that? I mean does this give them a rush being evil? I am tired but not out. What was done to me will get out and must be told. Calling me racial names and creating false statements will still not stop the truth. I know we all should be Christians and love our neighbor, but all I feel is hate! I pray for God to help me forgive those reponsible for my false arrest but the anger is greater. I think about it every second of the day with no peace. Now to see them place lies and more lies on the internet is wrong. God must have put me in this wheelchair for my own good. Had I been healthy, God help you liers!
Dear American people,
I am so mad and that is not my character. This whole mess has changed my perspective on the legal system, and law enforcement. Nobody can give me back who I was prior to this false charge or time detained in jail. Now that I am out of that cage, I want justice. No I demand justice! Louis Gibson will be a name those will speak and not forget like I will never forget.
Take a deeper look at my criminal history and at first glance one can assume negative thoughts. But "first glance", does not mean guilty. This is the first time I have not been able to block corrupt legal hits. But my attitude remains the same. When you are falsely accused stand your ground no matter the outcome! With WSB News reporting the false story on Redshield Entertainment LLC cost me a lot of money and ran my reputation through the dirt. I learned how powerful the media can influence perspective in America or to be specific in Atlanta, Georgia. My wealthy and connected fake friends ran away from me to protect their business. Even those that had thousands invested with my company, and several other business deals.
Many may not agree with my methods of posting so many complaints on the internet but I will bare it all to the American people. Several who are commenting are involved in my criminal case and are be exposed by independent investigator and companies that have given me support. I do not have a thing to hide and do not trust the legal system to do the right thing. Everyone will know what corruption is going on in Norcross Police Department and Gwinnett County. They can lock me up but they will not lock up the truth. This is a campaign to expose the corruption and plain lack of justice practiced in Gwinnett County.
Louis Gibson
You claim to have just got done suing someone but have a hard time believing that all the people in that video (they interview 4 or 5, but they said about a dozen) right? No contract will be posted for the obvious legal reasons.
All cases are not the same for my opening point. And your specific case certainly has no relation to Mr. Gibson case in question. You sued "someone", you stated. However, in Mr. Gibson civil case involves more than “someone” but multiple individuals, businesses, investors and was started in public damaging his business, business relationships, and most of all his reputation. The information related to the case was on television, broadcasted on line, and will be resolved on line, on television, and in a court of law.
In turn, the growth of electronic media has made the reporters as much of the story as the public, lawyers (and their clients). The internet has changed how cases are fought all over the world today. What I am saying is this campaign is all part of the case. Even this conversation we are having now. Evidence and traditional legal procedures are evolving due to technology and failure to adapt by lawyers or clients will result in misinformation. The OJ Simpson trial, for example...
Look how easy people are to judge Mr. Gibson now despite the evidence being so easily available by a click of a button. You think just because people appear on the news and scream foul play constitutes as factual information? Well you like many Americans are part of the illusion the media can and does have over society in general.
By posting fraction of the pertinent details only gathers support from thinking American that when the final puzzle is placed one can view the whole truth and nothing but the truth. This eliminates “anyone” specifically all the childish individuals more concerned with entertainment on complaintsboard.com and to get to those like you that can see pass the uneducated internet stone throwers pleading Mr. Gibson methods are causing them pain or some imaginary financial hardship but still under the media illusion. They respond with insults that have no value in intelligent society.

Operators of blogs are generally immune from liability for defamatory statements posted on their websites, as long as they did not contribute to the posting. In 2003, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that a listserv moderator and operator of a website which allegedly published defamatory statements provided by a third party was eligible for immunity under the Communications Decency Act (CDA). Batzel v. Smith, 2003 US App.LEXIS 12736 (9th Cir. 2003). However, if the online service provider plays an active role in soliciting information from users that leads to the defamatory act, the operator may not be protected by the safe harbor provisions of the CDA. In Carafano v. Metrosplash.com, Inc., a federal court ruled on the application of the safe harbor of the Communications Decency Act (CDA). The defendant in that case operated a matchmaking website known matchmaker.com. As part of its service, the defendant collected profiles of singles based on an extensive questionnaire. The plaintiff sued Metrosplash because of a false profile of her which an unknown user had posted to the website. The court ruled that by creating the extensive questionnaire, Metrosplash played an active role in developing the information that had been posted. Furthermore, the court ruled that Metrosplash was an information content provider and thus not eligible for the CDA's safe harbor provided to "interactive computer services." Carafano v. Metrosplash.com, Inc., Case No. CV 01-0018 DT (CWx) C.D. Cal. 2002) (subsequently reversed by appeals court). While operators of blogs and services are generally immune from such liability, the more active the service is with its member’s, the greater the likelihood of potential liability as a publisher of defamatory materials.
Another potential source of liability is the person who actually posted the defamatory materials. As with more general defamatory statements or materials, a poster can be held personally liable for anything posted which reflects falsely and negatively on a living person’s reputation. Posting false and explicit claims regarding a person will generally be held as defamatory for purposes of liability. However, other issues arise concerning the anonymity of the person posting the information, and if known, the jurisdiction in which they are subject.
Jurisdictional issues may arise in situations where the poster had no reason to expect that the effect of the posting would be felt in a certain jurisdiction. However, in defamation cases jurisdictional disputes are liberally ruled upon in favor of the victim. In Griffis v. Luban, the Minnesota court of appeals ruled that Alabama had jurisdiction over a Minnesota defendant who posted defamatory messages on the Internet. The defendant repeatedly posted messages on an Internet newsgroup attacking the plaintiff’s professional credentials. The plaintiff initially obtained a $25, 000.00 default judgment in Alabama, which she was seeking to enforce in Minnesota. The Minnesota court ruled that the Alabama court had properly exercised jurisdiction because the effects of the messages were felt in Alabama and that the defendant should have expected that she would be sued there. An important factor in the ruling was that she had actual knowledge of the effect of the defamatory statements on the Defendant. Therefore, the Minnesota court enforced the $25, 000.00 default judgment. Griffis v. Luban, 633 N.W. 2d 548 (Minn Ct. App. 2001).
However, there are cases where courts have refused to allow the exercise of personal jurisdiction based on defamatory statements. In a Pennsylvania case, the court refused to exercise jurisdiction over a New York defendant who had posted defamatory comments about a defendant on an offshore betting website. The court held that since the comments were not specifically directed at Pennsylvania, the court could not exercise personal jurisdiction over the defendant. English Sports Betting, Inc. v. Tostigan, C.A. No. 01-2202 (E.D. Pa. 2002).
The problems with bringing defamatory actions based on internet postings largely lie in proving that the defendant actually made the posting. If that connection can be made, a much stronger case can be presented and jurisdictional issues can be tackled.
And of course, you do understand that one person can post multiple complaints cloaking themselves as different individuals and then use this as a reference to show extreme prejudice.
It is unforntunate that people will mistake opinons for the truth.

DescriptionSusan and Robert Johnson, owners of Cozy Kittens Cattery, LLC, sued consumer review site ComplaintsBoard.com, its (alleged) publishers Elizabeth Arden and Michelle Reitenger, and two ComplaintsBoard users who commented on a complaint thread about Susan Johnson and her cat breeding business. The Johnsons also sued InMotion Hosting, Inc., the hosting service for the website. The complaint alleges injurious falsehood, defamation, and intentional inflication of emotional distress against all six defendants.
The complaint also includes a federal trademark infringement claim against one of the commenters, Kathleen Heineman, who allegedly violated the Johnsons' trademark rights in their "Cozy Kittens" trademark by "use of the name 'Cozy Kittens and Cuddly Cats'" in connection with her competing cat breeding business. (This allegation is puzzling given that Heineman's business appears to be called Boutique Kittens.)
The claims against Arden, Reitenger, ComplaintsBoard.com, and InMotion seek to hold them liable for publishing third-party content (Lowry and Heineman's comments) and refusing to remove this content upon demand by the Johnsons. These claims are likely barred by section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, but it does not look like any defendant has asserted this defense so far.
The Johnsons originally filed suit in state court in Missouri in June 2008, but Heineman removed the case to federal court in October 2008. After removal, Heineman, a resident of Colorado, moved to dismiss the complaint against her for lack of personal jurisdiction. This motion was pending as of January 15, 2009.
Before removal, the state court entered a default judgment against Melanie Lowry, who did not appear in the case. Lowry later challenged the default judgment by sending a letter to the federal district judge.
InMotion moved to dismiss the complaint in state court (grounds unknown), but did not refile the motion in federal court after removal. Based on InMotion's failure to answer or file a motion to dismiss in federal court, the Johnsons moved for entry of a default judgment against it. InMotion then appeared, arguing that the court should deny the Johnsons' motion for entry of default and hear its motion to dismiss on the merits.
Arden, Reitenger, and ComplaintsBoard.com have not appeared in the federal action. The reason for this is not clear -- they may have defaulted in the state court action, they may have settled with the Johnsons, or they may never have been served in the first place. The disputed comments no longer appear on ComplaintsBoard.com.
UPDATE:
6/8/2009 - Court granted the Motions to Dismiss filed by Defendants Heineman, Lowry, and InMotion Hosting
7/10/2009 - Court dismissed without prejudice the claims against Defendants Elizabeth Arden d/b/a ComplaintsBoard.com, ComplaintsBoard.com, and Michelle Reitenger
8/4/2010 - 8th Circuit affirms dismissal of claims

DescriptionIn March 2008, Bennoti, Inc., an espresso machine marketer and merchandiser, sued consumer review site Complaints Board and its owner, Elizabeth Arden, for defamation of business reputation (trade libel) and unfair competition. In March 2009, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York discontinued the action with prejudice, noting that "[i]t [had] been reported to this Court that the plaintiff wishes to voluntarily dismiss this action."
According to the complaint, Complaints Board published six false or inflated consumer complaints about Bennoti. One complaint featured a photograph of a Bennoti espresso machine, to which Defendant added "a comic strip style balloon" featuring the words "Don't call us! We're busy cheating customers!"
The complaint also alleged that Complaints Board diverted "hits" away from Bennoti's website, and in doing so exposed consumers to defamatory remarks and "pirate[d] the millions of dollars Plaintiff spends to develop consumer awareness of its coffee products brand, and then diverts those consumers to Plaintiff's competitors."
The complaint asserted that Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act did not shield Complaints Board because the website allegedly created fictional complaints and inserted "headings, report titles and messages for the reports."

Smith v. Arden: Utah Attorneys File Funny, Misguided Complaint on Behalf of Motivational Speaker
Wednesday, December 29th, 2010
James Smith, motivational speaker. (Image: James Smith's Real Estate Group of Companies, Inc.; used without permission)
Motivational speaker James Smith has filed a defamation lawsuit aimed at some online tormentors who’ve accused him of extramarital wanderings. (Ha’p MLRC)
Smith is a “Get Motivated” speaker and purveyor of such programs as “Stock Cash Flow 3-Day Training” and “Tax Liens & Deeds Self Study Program.”
The defamation lawsuit is aimed at Complaintsboard.com, Artvoice.com, and the Xenophilia blog for defamation. The central allegation is (I think) that anonymous commenters accused Smith of having an extramarital affair.
It’s kind of hard to tell what the allegations are because the complaint [pdf], filed by the Stevenson & Smith, P.C. law firm of Ogden, UT, is a bizarre mess.
For example, one defendant, WordPress.com’s parent, Automattic, is being sued on the theory that, well, uh, I just don’t know. WordPress.com is a blog host, and Xenophilia is hosted on WordPress.com. Those are the facts. Here is what is alleged.
Read this:
8. Defendant Automattic, d/b/a WordPress, d/b/a Xenophilia (hereinafter “Xenophilia”) is a California corporation doing business worldwide via the internet.
9. Defendant Xenophilia runs a website known as WordPress. Wordpress provides free blog hosting for its users. One such user is the Xenophilia blog located at xenophilius.wordpress.com.
These attorneys don’t seem to understand much about blogs – nor did they bother to learn much before they filed the complaint. Clearly, they don’t seem to understand the difference between a blog host and a blog.
Nor, does it seem, do they understand the difference between a blogger and a commenter.
Here’s a passage I particularly like from paragraph 23:
Neither Complaintsboard.com, Arvoice.com or WordPress.xenophilia.com has revealed the contact information and identity of the bloggers, despite the fact that such information is not protected when the bloggers use the blog for illegible purposes.
I mean, that’s just funny. Can you imagine the law looking askance at blogs used for “illegible purposes”?
And you’ve got to wonder, if it’s illegible, how can it be defamatory?
(By the way, that’s the complaint’s original spelling of “Artvoice.com” as “Arvoice.com.”)
And there’re also other problems, of course, such as, Section 230, which I’m not sure the attorneys understand either.

You must be a silly. Mr. Gibson and his family does not have any affiliation with Louis and Associate. Reading a comment constitutes as fact? One is to wonder your thinking!
Anita we are so sad to see you go. But we are sure you will return for your next fix.
Tune is to www.complaintsboard.com! "Same Louis Gibson time, same Louis Gibson comments!"
Next one to comment wins: more comments from "WE THE PEOPLE".

Im not quick witted when it comes to insults towards other people, and people even my friends at times tend to crack a joke and sometimes it gets to much. I act like it doesnt bother me but it does ALOT. I was thinking that maybe if I responded back with something good that I would stop taking the passive role all the time.
BUt I cant think of anything to say thats witty or stings as much as other people's things.
I need to learn how to defend myself verbally. Whats the best way to learn how to do that? I am a US Marine and rather let my action speak.
Plus is it better to just let it slide and act like it doesnt bother you and just pretend like nothing happened or to attack back with full force and out do them. Because a weak come back attempt will show them that you where bothered but your comeback was bad, so it didnt trumph theirs. Now they know your affected and they bother you more. But if you pretend you dont get bothered then people tend to stop.
I feel bad not being able to defend myself verbally. But my staff certainly does not have this problem.
I have not insulted one person on my board. My staff are 200 plus and it is not my place to babysit. I will do my best to address you conserns.
Thank you,
Louis Gibson

"Is Amway still around?"
I've heard that question, and it surprises me. Not only is Amway still around, but it's stronger than ever. 2008 sales were over 8 billion dollars. For some reason, maybe the flash and dash of the latest MLM, people think Amway is dead, dying, or too old-school to pay attention to. This is certainly not the case.
History Started more than 50 years ago, Amway grew steadily from a one-product company into a major global operation. The founders, Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel, literally made billions personally from it.
The company expanded steadily over the years and now does business in some 98 countries worldwide. Rich is retired, and Jay passed away in 2004 - their sons now head the company.
Amway still sells the original products that started the MLM movement - Liquid Organic Cleanser (LOC) and Nutralite. They still use a distributor network, a business idea that allows independent business owners (IBOs) to sell to consumers as well as recruit distributors. The model of sharing the wealth in a structured fashion is still around and still going strong.
Products One of the main advantages of Amway is the way they handle products. After all, products and product sales are the underlying engine that brings the money into any company. In Amway, the manufacturing is done in-house. Quality is assured and exclusivity is retained.
Along with the standby products, the line of goods offered has expanded into more than 450 items available only from Amway or an Amway IBO. These include household cleaning products, cosmetics and jewelry, automotive items and purification units for both water and air.
Of special note is the Nutralite line of organic supplements. Amway develops and maintains these - they even have farms to grow the plants used! The category now includes health supplements; diet and weight-loss products; and several sports/energy drinks.

THANK YOU FOR THE COMMENTS AND SUPPORT!
WE KNEW YOU WOULD BE BACK!
THAT WAS STUPID!
So, ya don't wanna take me up on that challenge eh? Knew you were full of ###...
My Foes:
I have to say that your business is not my business. My methods are to reach a specific goal and my mission is clear and will not be diverted by your lack of understanding. You are on my board responding to my post and think you are here because you posted the complaints? This is my plan and the comments are helping to bring those involved to the open. You must think highly of yourself to think I do not know you are part of the issue here. Welcome to my world!
Everyone has goals. Whether they are big or small, they have vast importance in our lives. However, the procrastinator in all of us doesn't have to win. With just a little bit of planning, accomplishing a goal is a simple task. Being a US Marine taught me that and with the false charge and accusations that attacked my character I have put this plan in motion. Now I control more than this board. You respond when I post and you care because it concerns you! Do you get it?
Let me offer you free advice: Here are 140 encouraging tips to reach your goals. Hi Mathew! Did you think I would not fight back? See you and the crew in court soon. You have a nice day. You to officer!
And for the lawyer involved, I will save you for last!
1.Count your blessings daily. Doing so will keep you in a positive state of mind.
2.Surround yourself with positive, encouraging, successful people. They will pull you up no matter what the circumstances.
3.Come to terms with the fact that in life there is no free lunch. Stop trying to get something for nothing. Doing so is a waste of time and energy you could be using to go after your dream.
4.It's not what happens to you, it's how you handle it.
5.Deliver more than you are paid to. Make yourself indispensable to others.
6.Focus on your strengths. Find an arena you are suited to play in, have the courage to get started, have the courage to not quit, and decide you will give it all you've got for as long as it takes to get the job done.
7.Live this day as if it were your last. Treat others as if it were their last day.
8.Take your projects seriously but learn to laugh at yourself.
9.Don't neglect the details. Excellence comes from taking care of the details.
10.Smile more. It makes you more approachable, and makes it easier to build your dream team.
11.Constantly ask yourself, "What is the number one thing I could do in the next 15 minutes to get me closer to my goal?" Then do it right away.
12.Break down large goals into smaller more manageable goals.
13.Find a mentor who believes in you, who will support you, and who will push you toward your dream.
14.Don't let others rain on your parade. Avoid negative people like the plague.
15.Decide to find the seed of good in every adversity.
16.Decide that you are willing to do whatever it takes to realize your dream.
17.Realize that true happiness lies within you. Happiness is the product of the quality of your relationships and of the degree of control you feel you have in life. Every time you make excuses, you lose control and become unhappy.
18.The past does not determine the future. No matter how many times you have failed, the next time you could succeed. If you don't believe me, just read Thomas Edison's biography.
19.Take full responsibility for your results.
20.Protect your attitude. Your attitude determines your altitude. Average talent with great attitude will beat out great talent with bad attitude every time.
21.Read biographies then model your life after the lives of successful people.
22.Don't complain about your circumstances. Decide you will make your own circumstances.
23.Don't kid yourself. Life is hard. Success takes time and massive action.
24.You only live once. Go for the Gold. Decide you will not simply exist. Decide to live an exciting life. Don't just take up space. Make a difference so you will be missed when you are gone. Decide to leave a legacy.
25.Be willing to pay the price of success. No pain no gain.
26.Vividly imagine what your victory will feel like. Replay that victory all the time. It's your preview of coming attractions.
27.Act in spite of your fear. No guts no glory.
28.Whenever in doubt, go with the bolder choice.
29.Base your plan on your strengths.
30.Humble yourself to the leadership of those who have done what you want to do. Ask for help and you will succeed faster.
31.Believe in yourself. Persist in the face of challenges. Don't take "No" for an answer.
32.Celebrate every small victory.
33.Follow your heart.
34.Constantly look for ways to simplify your life.
35.Anger gives people courage to do things they usually would not do. Whenever you are angry, don't waste your anger doing negative things. Harness the energy in your anger to reach your goal.
36.Embrace change. Change brings opportunity to win.
37.If you're not failing you are playing too safe and you are not growing. If you want to succeed faster, double your failure rate.
38.Bite off more than you can chew.
39.Live your life with passion.
40.Read good books, listen to self-development tapes, and attend seminars.
41.Forgive others quickly. Being angry at someone else is like drinking poison.
42.Make your dream so exciting that it takes your breath away. Then, be willing to fight for your dream and future.
43.Every time you make an excuse, you give away control of your life. Stop making excuses.
44.Don't live life through others. Be the hero in your own life.
45.Watch less TV. Your TV is keeping you from your dreams. TV wastes hundreds of precious hours of people's time - time they could use to make a better life for themselves.
46.Establish a mission and a purpose for your life.
47.Burning desire creates the power to succeed. Develop a passionate desire for your purpose. How badly you want it to happen will determine if you do make it happen.
48.Never blame, whine or complain.
49.Talk positively to yourself. Never bad-mouth or criticize yourself.
50.Be a good finder. Look for good in everything that happens. Developing a positive mental attitude is a decision. A decision that helps you have a better life.
51.Put your dreams in concrete and your plans in sand.
52.Write down your goals every day before you turn on your computer. It takes less than two minutes and helps you start off the day in a more purposeful, focused manner. Doing this will make you more productive than 95% of people in the world.
53.Imitate the perseverance of the people you admire.
54.Read 15-30 minutes a day from a positive self-development book.
55.Become a part of a support group. Hang out with people who have goals and dreams similar to yours.
56.Know yourself. Know your strengths and weaknesses. That knowledge will help you understand why you act the way you do. Learn about the four personality types.
57.Help others reach their dreams.
58.See challenges as an opportunity to become stronger.
59.Do what you fear and the fear will disappear. Facing fear is called courage. Running from fear is called cowardice. Do you want to be known as a courageous person or as a coward? It's your choice.
60.If you want to win big you have to be willing to lose big.
61.Focus on your goals, not on your obstacles.
62.You will only see it when you believe it.
63.Don't let other people's opinion of you become your reality.
64.When the why is big enough, the how will take care of itself.
65.If you are not excited about your dream, don't expect others to get excited about your dream.
66.Don't listen to the naysayers in your life. "Impossible" is just the opinion of somebody who does not believe as much as you do.
67.When somebody laughs or makes fun of you, that person should stop having any influence in your life. They are holding you back from your purpose in life.

93.The greatest predictor of future success is how driven and passionate you are to realize your dream. Passion is much more important than talent.

109.When opportunities appear, move quickly. Doors of opportunity close as quickly as they open.
110.You can't do anything about the past, therefore, remove the words "I should have..." from your vocabulary. "Should haves, " create unnecessary guilt, suck the wind out of your sails, and take away positive energy that you could use to do something today.

113.What would you dare to do if you knew you could not fail? What are you waiting for? Do it now!

115.Winners understand that the road to success is filled with failures and challenges. Winners fail their way to success. One big success cancels out all the failures.
116.Assume that success is only a matter of time. Resolve to learn something from every setback, and decide that quitting is not an option.
117.Your persistence will fuel your self-belief and your self-belief will fuel your persistence. But you have to decide that quitting is not an option.
118.Positive self image does not come from people praising you. Confidence and positive self image comes from competence. From being good at whatever you do. And that comes from practice. Confidence and positive self image come from constantly facing your fears and refusing to quit.
119.Successful people talk about and think about what they want to happen. Unsuccessful people talk about and think about what they don't want to happen. You attract what you talk about. What are you talking about?
120.Make no small plans. Small plans and dreams don't have the power to inspire you and motivate you. Have a dream that takes your breath away. Only such a dream will motivate you to act.
121.Everything you do is either getting you closer or further from your dream. Everything.

132.The secret of your future is hidden in your daily routine.
133.High achievers have a drive that most of us can't even begin to imagine. They work every day at catching their breaks. They are ordinary people with extraordinary drive and work ethic. You can develop the same drive.
134.Once a year, read "How to Win Friends and Influence People, " "The Magic of Thinking Big, " and "The Power of Positive Thinking."
135.Every morning, get if front of the bathroom mirror, and serious as a heart attack, tell yourself what your dreams and goals are. Repeat this every time you are in front of a mirror. Do this and in time you will become unstoppable.
136.Success is a decision. It's all up to you.
137.Develop people and leadership skills. The only way to accomplish great goals is by building a team and working through other people.
138.What you believe will determine what you will do. What you do determines your results. Change your beliefs, and you'll change your results.
139.When you work hard enough and long enough that you start believing that you deserve to succeed, you'll start acting like a deserving person and success will come to you.
140.When you achieve your dream, pursue another dream. That's how to live a life of adventure.
The real,
Louis Gibson
We know who Louis Gibson is but the rest hide to continue the bashing. I am done!
I have read back to back comments and it is the same person responding to this Louis Gibson. I do not support or care to bash him either. But this is clearly an attack on him and it is sad. I hope he does resolve his issues and the bashers get a life!
### you served in the Marines...I challenge you to tell me where you went to Basic, where you served and how you got there...
First, please stop PMing me. Both of the comments you have directed towards me were intended to be insulting and it makes no difference to me on a personal level what "posting spot" you hold on this board. Secondly, after reading your posts, I know there is only a one in a million chance that you are not a con artist. However, on that off chance I'd like to offer you some feedback that, if you really pay attention to it, could be helpful. Why I am spending the time doing so, I'm not really sure, but I guess it could be summed up as leap into optimism.
I know a thing or two about leadership, just so you know. I have a large staff myself which includes some leadership trained ex-military and a handful of assistants. It's very irresponsible leadership to say, "it is not my place to babysit", meaning that you are not responsible for them. You are entirely responsible for their behavior as well as your own. They represent you at all times, not to mention your cause, with every little step that they take. It is a cop-out to say that you cannot control them and it's "not your job" to do so. This means you are failing as a leader in not just one area, but at least two.
Creating a vision or upholding an ideal is what an effective leader does. You must consistently role model these same behaviors or any of the other ideals you wish to promote. You, personally, have done a very poor job of that in my opinion from what I have seen from your posts across the board. You must constantly be aware that you set the standard and you've allowed your "staff" to run rampant. This thread should be looked at as an example of what failed role modeling, and ultimately, failed leadership looks like. Communicating or creating a vision is different than executing one especially if you are claiming to be concerned with values such as justice. People sometimes jump into concrete action without building the necessary integrity or insight before doing so. I believe this is what has happened with your spam and propaganda assault across the internet.
Lastly, I personally don't have any concerns that need your addressing. Keep spamming-it's your game, not mine. Just know, that if you hadn't come off as so hateful, resentful, angry, deceitful, inconsistent, and manipulative you probably could have gotten more people to "buy in". No matter what, I think justice will happen in this. True justice, however, could end up being something you may not want after all.
I've read several nonsensical threads related to this person that seem to be aimed at spreading propaganda for financial gains from "the system". It has appeared, so far, to be very selfishly motivated with the intent of manipulating people to achieve this end. Unfortunately, the same values that they claim to uphold and are "fighting" for (in the form of spamming) are the same ones they are violating here. I could have been manipulated too if the values/ideals they attempted to portray had been congruent with all of their postings. However, this thread, with it's mention of hate and anger in the OP clearly shows that they do not. The other threads are not any better. I believe it far worse if they (the "staff"/Gibson himself) do actually believe in their cause to be cursing, insulting, and calling names to the people who have raised very valid questions. I just received a rude PM myself from one of the "staff" so I know they are not true to their ideals. I did not call them names nor did I imply that they did not have intelligence, so this behavior on her part was completely uncalled for. This behavior, at least from my point of view, means they are not promoting a noble, worthy cause as they claim to be. Promoting ideals and values means that you must continually hold yourself to a higher standard even when the temptation to lower them presents itself. They do not. The people here who have continually responded to the propaganda are seeking the truth and the answers to valid questions. Those of us who frequent this board are tired of the spam, manipulation, and propaganda. I'm thankful they are taking the time to fight back against the spam assault across the board. I hope that they are having fun doing it too!
He's not even commenting! But has us all waiting to respond.
He is far from stupid!
This guy has a story! He has people pass midnight commenting abou him everyday. What is next, his own reality show?
This guy puts up a post and the same people respond over and over. What is that all about?
So many people have researched this guy and not one mention of a site until now. Either it is not his or one of you put it up. If that is the case Louis Gibson is right.
I do not think the site is his. But it is still funny that it is being prsented now! Did one of you creat it? Too funny!
Yes, I see he has won a lawsuit in Pennsylvania! Congratulations Mr. Gibson!
Lmao!
Honestlly, this Louis Gibson guy is effective in getting his poin accross. You all are feeding right in. He is winning.
Louis Gibson has more hits on this site than everyone! He must be a smart guy to pull everyone in.
Why would anyone go through the trouble to research this "Louis Gibson" if they were not personnally invoved? Get a life people!
Thanks Zachary, after reading this overabundance of copy & paste propaganda over the last few weeks I knew there was more to the story. Your research was appreciated Zachary.
You seem like the one who needs mental help. What was that ment to do? lmao!
A former staff member forged Mr. Gibson signature on our company check. Another second employee reported the forgery for Mr. Gibson. Norcross Police Department did not charge the former staff member, first employee who is the relative of a sheriff. Instead Mr. Gibson was charged with forgery and the false filing report of that crime! As stupid as that sounds, it is fact. Mr. Gibson was arrested Dec. 18, 2010. A warrant was issued Dec. 22, 2009. (Yes confusing) He refused to take the plea bargain offered and advocated for his innocence. With political pressure he was released on bond Dec. 29, 2010. Now reporters wait to see what happens next to run a full story. Mr. Gibson was told by reporters to blast the story on-line; threads would shoot his story up on the rating chart, and Google. Louis Gibson supporters organized (RANN), Redshield America News Network. (Thank you all for the contribution)
Continue reading for details: November 2009 Redshield Entertainment LLC and the reputation of its CEO Louis Gibson were attacked. Usually a fair reporting news channel, WSB News after being contacted by former sales rep and manager Mathew McCloy, who claimed he had not been paid during the holiday season for working there, moved forward with the story without cross-verifying factual documentation. Gnawing relentlessly on Redshield's ankles, Linda Stouffer reported this story of 3 screaming angry sales representatives? (Not being paid for work)- One of which being Matt's roommate, in front of Redshield's newly established place of business in Alpharetta, GA.
Following the negative media coverage, the license for Redshield to sell Clearwire mobile Internet, at the time its sole source of current revenue was revoked; dark tales were recounted about Redshield Entertainment and CEO Louis Gibson on the Internet; not to mention that he learned shortly thereafter that at the same time the same sales rep petitioned for the cessation of Redshield Entertainment and the media coverage thereof, he also campaigned for the commencement of license to sell Clear Internet for his newly formed company, Mad Phoenix Technologies, prior to Redshield's and Clearwire's dissolution and using the identical practices, methods, teachings and even some staff members of Redshield.
Was it just good old competition? One year later, neither of the 2 companies still in business selling Clearwire mobile Internet Service. Further, the same reps who demanded payment after less than 30 days of working for Redshield found out that there new CEO couldn't pay that quickly either. Clearwire's contractual agreement with all resellers pays out in a 60 day pay cycle. (Gibson has stated this fact many times) *news coverage allowed the “internet stone throwers” to sway the public opinion of some in its favor*
Let me explain:
Reading of Redshield and its woes, viewing limited information online anyone could quickly pass judgment. As computers become increasingly more sophisticated so do in some cases “Internet stone throwing” anonymous sinners, some without even any direct knowledge of the matter in discussion. Often many readers are noncommittal on subject matter, without additional sources of obtaining what they consider factual information, like a news source. The news report however gave one sided public perspective. Public opinion on this matter as well, a challenge he has self-described as at times like America's media war in Iraq.
Louis was arrested on December 18, 2010 on false charges from this fiasco. The same sales rep, Matt who began selling under his new company name, after this news story aired went to Norcross Police Department speaking of his allegations, the news video and its airing. He also had filed a police report of the grievance and its further related details. The one Norcross Police Officer without further investigating wrote a false report that led to a warrant for Louis Gibson's arrest. The charge was based on a check forged by another former staff member and the nonpayment of reps citing the news report as one of its references. Upon exiting the jail on bail almost 2 weeks later and after spending now his 6th Christmas away from those he loves; 5 being, 1 for each year while having served in the US armed forces and the 6th one birthed out of the events mentioned here, Louis Gibson now asks is there justice in America? Will WSBtv Atlanta news report a retraction? Was the attack on his business deceptive? ... Please respond I would like to hear your thought.
Here is the news story to which we refer

Do you realize that your statement is stupid? Do you think you would have seen pictures of your close friends and family in uniform if they had not been your friends and family? You are a silly person to say Mr. Gibson never was a US Marine when documentation of this can be found all over the internet. What are you a stocker? You want a peek at this veteran? You sick individual Anita!
He has a ###in right to post what he wants! Just like you!
Mr. Gibson and his staff will respond when needed S.O.L
We are going to respond to resonable requests.

With the serious nature of my case and my methods of dealing with them I must take certain legal precautions. But I will bare it all on the internet for all to see shortly.
To whom it may concern:
I am very sorry for the remarks my staff has made that had nothing to do with topics posted. I will be sure to have them fill your request. Links and other detailed information are being prepared and will be posted.
We have been building a site to post (RANN) views and comments. Legal issues and timing has been factors in our slow response. I previously told those interested to give the end of January for us to deliver the requests made.
We have former staff and individuals involved with my case responding on this site. However, I will put all documents and relative information for all to read regardless.
Few more days and all documents will be posted for all who wish to have additional information.
Thank you,
Louis Gibson
