image was on a public site, this was a thought offense.  The attorney doing
the suing had the treasury of a wealthy non-profit behind him and hired a
large upscale law firm and fought on with increasing desperation for three
years. One of the plaintiffs, the non-profit, finally settled and publicly
apologized, the other settled. Then the attorney instigating the suit and
the firm which he hired then separately sued the non-profit, who
counter-sued, and this went on for a couple of more years, thankfully
without me. Years later, the non-profit awarded me a  medal of merit.

John, having read that link, I'm sure you're glad to have escaped. I presume
you didn't write the following piece on About.com which I found when I
googled him :-)

"I don't know Cipoletti well, but from what I've observed of him, he seems
to be a bold leader, willing to take calculated gambles to win big, and
isn't about to let adversity get in his way. He's the perfect man for
Contursi's new company, and it will be interesting to see how the rest of
this unfolds!"
