"After getting off the phone with a lawyer (you guys cost me 200 dollars for that one phone call by the way,)"
Well, you know what they say about a fool and his money.
Edit: You can't get us under quoting without permission, because quotation for review purposes (which is what FSTDT, beneath all the snark, amounts to) is specifically protected under the fair use doctrine in the US and in the UK.

Googling is much cheaper. How long did the lawyer laugh before he told you that you are an idiot.

Oy Vey!
Not a threat, just suggesting God is going to punish you in some way which will be good because then you'll know how powerful he is and wont go to hell and repent of making fun of Christians
Well looky here! I'm quoting you. Snarkity snark snark snark!
The old turn or burn nonsense I see.
Don't you think that if God actually existed, creator of the universe and all of that, that he would seriously care about the behavior of a few snarky people?
You make him sound rather petty and unworthy of worship, let alone being a deity.

He's such a silly, isn't he? I do so enjoy his red-faced air-punching posturings.
I'm still not clear why he thinks threats about wholly imaginary places and people should worry us, though. It's like me threatening him that a Cornish piskey will visit him in his sleep, pluck out all his nasal hair and tattoo, 'I am a Moron' on his bum.

God's Warrior is a fuckin' wimp! Warrior my ass! He's probably got a wooden sword and a trash can lid shield so he can fight for Jeebus. What a fuckin' loser!

The board's purpose it not to blaspheme God. It's to expose the hatred, hypocrisy, ignorance and stupudity of the holier-than-thou fundamentalists who are trying to take over and control the way the rest of society lives, in direct contradiction to the true ideals behind their own religions.

@Oy Vey!: That's the real problem I have with the fundie view of God as being merely a big man in the sky. They never give any thought to the idea that a truly transcendental entity would be above human weaknesses.

Why would we need permission to quote you? That's like having everyone that is writing a story about martin luther king having to go dig up MLk and ask him if it's ok to quote his "I had a dream" speech.

Wow. I'm not even a US citizen, and haven't spent a single penny on lawyer advice. Yet, I knew this thing was baseless from the beginning. (I'm a computer geek and an artist, and these days you can't really be either without some basic understanding of various international intellectual property laws.)
Really, a lil' bit of a visit to Wikipedia would have saved you tons of money. In case it never occurred to you that bringing forth a legal complaint just for harassment purposes wasn't such a good idea in the first place.

God's Warrior, I think that lawyer is dead wrong. If I were you, I'd get a second opinion. And a third, and a fourth, and ...

And this advise (that you had no case) was what the general consensus of the answers for the question was.
Who's have thunk it... Yahoo Answers actually got it right. :)

If you read the comments on your threat of legal action you would have saved your 200 dollars as they told you: you had no case.
Read the comments to you stupid writtings, you'll learn something, something real.

That $200 would have made good charity - pity you would rather spend $200 pursuing your little vendetta.
Wonder what would Jesus think of that (if he was real)?

The UK has some fucking brutal libel laws and yet your case wouldn't stand a hope in hell even here. Chuck your money away as much as you like, sunshine.

This is the fundamentalist mindset in microcosm. GW asks about using the DMCA to attack FSTDT, gets told the facts. GW doesn't like those facts, so asks for advice from fellow-Christians only, no atheist answers please, and gets told the same thing. GW *still* doesn't like the answers he's hearing, so eventually pays $200 to a lawyer, who tells him the same thing. Now he's mad at everyone else because they wouldn't change the truth to agree with his fantasy. To save face and salve his hurt pride, he's created another fantasy whereby God will personally punish his tormentors for him.
