I'll See Your Lawsuit And Raise You Two Sugar Cookies and a Rum and Diet Coke!

Here is a screenshot from a thread at LowCarbFriends.com. If you're a skeptic, click here to see it. Post 162 in all its glory. It's Kimmer's snarky response to someone who was insinuating that she may be in jeopardy of being sued for posting her "opinion" about how to lose weight. Toothpick had posted saying that if the "good doctor" (probably Atkins) had promised weight loss of 7-10 pounds per week, he'd probably have been forced to prove it or risk being sued. Here is Toothpick's post to which Heidi is responding. Now I turn your attention to Heidi's post. Read the last line. "Now for me..you can't sue someone for their opinion." Don't forget you saw that as we fast forward to the present. But there's one more housekeeping issue before we do that. Here, from Wikipedia, is part of their definition of a blog: A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual ^[1], with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.


O.K., with those things out of the way, let's talk about what this post is all about. It seems that somewhere along the way, Heidi and/or one of her legal team decided a countersuit was in order. To that end, they have filed a joke of a countersuit naming individuals who have bulletin boards or blogs on the web and have been telling the truth about Heidi Diaz and her lies. You see, to a liar like her, truth is her greatest enemy.

Her claim is that bloggers and internet posters owe her damages for 1. Interference with contract 2. Interference with economic advantage 3. Slander/Libel 4. Invasion of Privacy 5. Civil Conspiracy 6. Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress

Heidi Diaz claims we have slandered and libeled her by telling the world the truth about her lies. Ahem, Heidi, you can't win damages against someone for slander and libel when what they told is the truth. YOU are the one who lied, and WE are the ones with truth on our side. As unfamiliar as you are to the truth, even you should realize that.

She also claims that we conspired together. What?!?!? There was a meeting and I didn't get invited? Left out in the cold once again! Heidi, there was no meeting, no plan, no conspiracy. All there was and all there remains is a group of people dedicated to telling the truth about Heidi Diaz. Nothing more, nothing less.

This blog falls under the category of commentary and description of events, as it has chronicled the fall from grace of a faux dieting guru. All this blog or my bulletin board post entries amount to is one person's opinion. Take it or leave it. Here is my opinion on the pages of this blog. But it also contains a lot of FACTS about Heidi Diaz. If I have posted it here as a fact, you can take it to the bank. But if you want to dispute my facts, roll the dice and give it your best shot. Now, I must warn you, Heidi Diaz has the habit of scrubbing her site of incriminating evidence once it comes to light. That is a FACT. If I've posted about something on her forum that isn't there anymore, then that's just the way it is.

You are welcome to come here and read it if you want to, but nobody's putting a gun to your head. Nobody's making you read this, and nobody's making you believe it. If you think my opinions and/or facts are so much hot air, you are entitiled to that view. I'm not interfering with anyone's right to enter into an ill-advised contract with Heidi Diaz, although I'll try my darndest to keep them from making that mistake. You can't sue someone for quoting facts, and to quote a phrase that seems to be all the rage, "Now for me...you can't sue someone for their opinion." How do you like them apples, Heidi Diaz?
