Lawsuit Goodness Added![edit]

I added some goodness, linking to the stupid lawsuit he filed against the government. ^{— Unsigned, by: 75.134.106.166 / talk / contribs}

Full protection for a while[edit]

User:John Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt just revdeleted some stuff on both the article and talk pages, and fully protected the article. This is a sensible thing to have done, and thank you JJJS - David Gerard (talk) 22:30, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Cue cries of censorship in 3... 2... 1... 141.134.75.236 (talk) 22:35, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

A probably stupid thought: Should we put up an Template:Editnotice for articles that've been legally iffy before, to remind users that what they say needs solid proof? FuzzyCatTomato (talk/stalk) 00:32, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

But... but... those poor poor edit summaries! Censorshipz!!!one1! PacWalker 03:24, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Legal threats against Adblock users[edit]

Now he's sending Adblock users to shady malvertisers and posting on the Adblock Plus forums about taking the developers of ad-blocking software to court: https://adblockplus.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=28581 Julyo (talk) 15:47, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

Not the first to float such ideas, but that isn't the best-reasoned version I've ever seen... PacWalker 15:55, 10 April 2015 (UTC)

"Our team is already making a program to give the user a virus if they enter with an adblocker."

So that's where that forum was! I was wondering where I found that.TGW ^me ^myself^{, and}^I 20:52, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

I've had a Mike Adams lackey tell me that using AdBlock is breaking the law because if I don't give Mike Adams money when I go to his website, I'm literally stealing his content. People seem to get really mad if they start getting less ad money from their bullshit. Frederick^♠♣♥♦ 04:49, 12 April 2015 (UTC)

Y'know...[edit]

And I know y'know... His "people with autism focus on one subject" thing is not true. Narky Sawtooth (BoN is paranoid!) 02:57, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Thenfixit? Cømrade FυzzчCαтPøтαтø (talk/stalk) 03:29, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

Hm. I never saw that there was a response to this. Anyways, I was talking about him, not the article. Narky Sawtooth

Dead websites - maybe remove?[edit]

So I tried looking at the websites listed at the start of the article:

TheWeatherSpace.com - is now some Russian site.
SouthernCaliforniaWeatherAuthority.com - seems to want to install a virus.
WeatherAlertCentral.com - No longer exists. --Bob ^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 15:44, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

If there any actual live links to those sites (rather than archived copies) they should be removed. But just listing the names of the sites he's operated should be fine. Leuders (talk) 15:56, 5 May 2017 (UTC)

Beaten up in a bar[edit]

According to this story, Martin was mistaken for a child molester and beaten up in a bar in 2019. https://fox5sandiego.com/news/meteorologist-beaten-after-intoxicated-man-mistakes-him-for-a-child-predator/

The article says, "Martin made a citizen’s arrest, according to a County of Riverside Sheriff’s Department Order of Arrest. He was issued a notice to appear in court on November 6 to state his case." Does that sound plausible? He made a citizen's arrest of a guy that beat him badly, after cops arrived? And why would he victim be given a notice to appear? In California that's a citation, like a traffic ticket (https://www.courts.ca.gov/documents/trinst.pdf). ^{— Unsigned, by: Vivisectionist / talk / contribs}

I'm sure it's coincidence - but he once threatened to have us falsely connected to child abuse See: Kevin_Martin#Threats_to_RationalWiki. Maybe it's karma or something.Bob ^{"Life is short and (insert adjective)"} 19:31, 9 June 2024 (UTC)
