Is Purslow tryin to shut down a Liverpool forum? By Antoine Zammit (Other posts by Antoine Zammit)

Twitter is ablaze with Tweets such as these.
“Just been told that RAWK has been threatened with legal action over letter-writing campaigns by Purslow‘s lawyersâ€
“did you know Purslow has engaged lawyers to try and shut down a Liverpool fans’ forum? Incredible.â€
I tried contacting R.A.W.K. with no avail but as I dug deeper I found this posting on the forum.

http://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=259721.msg7082494;topicseen#msg7082494

“Christian Purslow has as much right to privacy as any one else. RAWK acts to protect the privacy of any user, individual or company, if the moderating team feel that private information has been made public on this forum.

We regularly monitor the site via a number of volunteers, and we have a forum code of conduct with regards to what can and cannot be posted on the site. Those rules and regulations are widely available on the site. In light of this recent incident we’ve decided to placed to place reminders onthe forum to encourage our 30,000+ members of these policies. We believe we have acted sensibly and in a timely manner.

However, I have got links to scores of websites that have Christian Purslow’s personal details on public display.

I’ve got his home address.
I’ve got his date and place of birth.
I’ve got a list of companies he is associated with.
I’ve got his office phone number and address.
I know the names and addresses of the people that he associates with at those companies.
I know how many shares he owns in a number of these companies.
I know which accountancy firms act for him.
I know a fair bit else too.

I know which firm of lawyers act on his behalf.

Everything except that last point is in the public domain and is a matter of record. In many of those cases there is nothing that Christian Purslow or his highly paid lawyers can do about those records. All you need to do is use Google. Then add pieces of information together and Google again. And again.
It’s jolly tempting to post all of the links in one bullet proof, lawyer checked, publicly unchallengeable post.
But not today.
In words and actions Christian Purslow has demonstrated his lack of credibility to act as Managing Director of Liverpool Football Club.
This whole sorry thread is one that can come to an end right here. Usethe other threads to keep the pressure on the club, the owners, thebanks, the Premiership.
Mr Purslow – this bit’s for you – it’s time for you to pack up and head home. We’re all as sick and tired of you as you are of us.â€
I am sure we will hear more about this over the next few days but if it is true it is very concerning that the M.D. of our club would resort to this.
I wonder who will pick up the lawyer fee?

Y.N.W.A.

A mate told me Purslow has links with Hicks that have never been revealed before. Some journos are about to break the story. He doesn't know if its a smear campaign or a genuine story.
 
Tbf, there's a world of difference between someone searching for your home address & it being made public on a message board read by thousands, many of whom are demonstrating thinly veiled threats towards you.

I'd threaten legal action too.

But then that shower would probably show up on here!

Can you imagine a RAWK invasion?

"Lucas is a great player"
"Rafa is simply ace!"
"Here's my tactical analysis of that unfortunate 0-1 defeat"
"I'm not from Liverpool, but..."

It would be like getting 1,000 new Ryans, without the racism.

My emotions would play out as follows

😱 🙁 :'( >🙁
 
I have never taken much notice of RAWK until recently. It is quite horrible isn't it?

there's not much more annoying than groups of self-appointed people deciding they are speaking for all the fans, making wi assumptions and just lies and using it as flimsy evidence to back up their cause. That's what RAWK seems like.

Its a pathetic place for anyone to be......they even have their own pathetic Jersey for next season! They're worse than the scum fans and their fucking scarves!
 
I heard about this last night, I'm not sure he was trying to shut RAWK down. Apparently he just wanted his personal details removed.

Fair enough really.
 
Of course it is. If they weren't such a bunch of nutters they'd have nipped this in the bud by not publishing those details in the first place.

I'm genuinely surprised at RAWK.

They're usually a lot more cautious than that.
 
They didn't post them, a poster did, I'm not sure how quickly they removed them but I don't think they were there long.
 
Well if that's the case then Purslow can fuck off.

They've done all that can be reasonably expected.
 
and if not?

To be honest , and I am no lawyer, but they have been treading fairly close to the wind over the last few weeks.

I can have some sympathy for this sort of thing. During the whole Cohen thing, which had far less attention, there was the odd idiot who attempted to encourage idiotic behavior, or just did it themselves. Cohen of course made the most of this, but regardless of any tactical sense, I did feel a moral responsibility.

The difference was, at least for my part, and from everyone else involved who I dealt with, there was a concerted effort at all times to temper rhetoric in a certain way, knowing that it could be an issue. I haven't had that sense with SOS, from day one. There has been an irresponsible lack of focus, a lack of specific actionable plans, and little attempt to reign in idiots and set an example.

I suspect that the contact info posted on RAWK is probably something quite widely available, if you know how to look, but many of the idiots who would do something stupid, don't. It's just not a line you cross. Especially when there's nothing to say, and no actionable plan. What are they intending to achieve by contacting Purslow or Broughton? Please Mr. Broughton, quit your job (of trying to sell the football club), we'll be sending an email to H&G to tell them to sell later (even though they already are). Of course SOS and others would simply say "we weren't responsible, it was just a random individual posting on a message board" just as they said the same about the flag burning, and the Munich song, done under a massive SOS banner.

It is no way to run any sort of protest organization, which is a large part of why they've been completely ineffective.
