Guess we both read diff. posts. I never once saw them threaten a lawsuit. THEY were not the ones that brought it up.

It's not that we think that our former squadmate is defenseless I beleive that any CO or XO of a squad would come to the aid of their current or former squadmate if that person was being subject to public humiliation, it is also the fact that you used our material without our premission for you own amusement. That is not acceptable in our opnion. I hope that you can appreciate and respect what I am saying.
Thank you,
GEEEZ! the guy even said thank you. about as nice a request as one could expect.

Navajo is right, that is going to far. I request that you cease with the use of our former squad mates picture for your amusement.
Thank you,
Yet again with the Thank You's. and AGAIN with a nice, simple request. You'd think they were being civil or sumptin'.

This is the the BK squad,
As the CO of the UKNIGHTED 357th FG, i highly recommend that you change your avatar that includes the photo of a former squad member. This is one of the most disrespectful display I've ever seen. There maybe some bad blood between some members of our squad and yours but to include a moditifed picture of people is going out of the boundries. Requests have been made for copyright and trademark rights for the images and also text related to the UKNIGHTED group.
Thanks
CO Navajo24
Now here a mention is made about them havin' made request to copyright and trademark images and text realted to the UKNIGHTED group. No threat of lawsuit that I can see.
(oh and again w/ the Thanks.....)

Ok well since you know all about it, you would repect our request. I only defend the rights and property of UKNIGHTED 357th FG - JG26. Although he isnt a part of the squad, his image is still located on our server.
Again, nice, civil, and simple request in re. what they consider their property. (no thank you tho.... gonna have to take off etiquette point here....)

Mophy will explain to you all about copyrights. He is very knowledgable about these issues as he claims.
Ok, no thank you, no
, and seems a bit curt. I can't imagine why after all the nice, respectful and courteous replies to the initial request.

im rather disappointed in the claimed knowledge,
as for the kid picture, i cant talk for other peoples property. I myself am not looking for a 'sorry', im looking that it be removed. If you want to poke fun at him, do so at your expense, not mine or my squads.
Again w/ the no thank you, but all in all, reasonably civil.
Come on Levi, don't make it sound like y'all are the victims here. A nice, simple, easy request has now been drug out and prolonged, and why?
(holds up mirror for BK's)
come on guys..... would be diff. if they HAD been rude, but this was, and is a simple open / shut prospect.
(sigh)
