Subject: I wonder if Geoff Becketts Lawyer is fun on the Shoulder?

Okay very strange, you've probably seen the post up over on the JTF by the "real" Geoff Beckett, took me by surprise. I checked it out, the usual nonsensical babble. The real funny thing is I have an e-mail from him threatening to sue me for having those images posted on the forum LOL.

I'm not really scared of actually being sued, i have a feeling his lawyer is just one of his shoulder action figures with a ken suit on. Or him using some other e-mail address and pretending to be a lawyer or something silly and funny. I'm also curious am i actually in any wrong here? I mean i'll admit I'm not going to win any awards for being nice, but I don't think it's illegal to post an image from a website on some backwoods, low profile forum. Maybe not perfectly legal, but certainly not something to take legal action over. I woulda just posted the actual images from the real shocker toys site, but there like 80 feet by 80 feet in size so it woulda taken ten years to load. So i shrunk em and turned them into jpegs.

Even though I think the guy is crazy, i really wouldnt have a problem removing the images if he'd ask respectfully. So now I'm wondering what I should do... what do you guys think

A. Completly ignore him. Don't even dignify him with a responce, just ignore him.

B. Remove the images and apologize.

C. The "Shadow Ops" method: Delete all post pertaining to it and destroy all evidence, and pretend nothing happened

D. Ban his ass into oblivion, then keep the pictures up, then make the new header picture Geoff Becketts head photoshopped onto some embaressing situation, possibly getting butt rammed by an old he-man toy or something. Then make it the "Geoff Beckett Sucks forum" for a day or two.

E. Respond to him, but respond to him in German and claim not to speak english.

F. Argue that he's not the real Geoff Beckett and is just some guy trying to fool me.

G. Other....
