| Okay, it appears as though the fine gentleman who wants QuestEon to stop using the avatar with Frank Gorshin's pic may have a legal case. So please don't use pics of Gorshin anymore, and please nobody ever talk or write about, use pictures of, reminisce about Gorshin anymore. That is by far the best way to keep his memory alive. RoR, I deleted your avatar, just to be sure Oh, and John check here and here, and please remove the abuse-complaint |

What appears? What led you to the above conclusion? I'm skeptical about this. |

two people, one on another forum, and one per e-mail said that he may have a case. Kinsella found the guy's actions nuts, but he didnt reply as to whether he had a legal case. Better not to take the risk then, mostly because Forumotion's rules are stricter than legal rules |

I got good advice/evidence in an e-mail, too. Also, this dumbass tried to go right at me, but my domain registration is proxied.
The bigger problem is that he'd go after Conrad and I didn't want to put him in that position. He's already fought one stupid fight.
This guy scratches at the carcass of a forgotten second-rate entertainer for the few pennies he can make from it. I don't want to fight the guy--I just want to make sure I never am that guy.

when you write a post wherein you ask to have your name removed, it's probably a good idea not to sign that post with your name. |

| I hate to say it, but I'm a bit troubled by the poor writing that this fellow has used on his tribute site. A note to the future curators of www.therealdannyshahar.com: if you really care about preserving my memory, you will proofread your writing so that you don't publish things like "Batman was a big hit and merchandise ranged from bubblegum trading cards," and "Not only did he lose out on the role but he also found that Los Angeles papers had reported that Frank had died in the car accident" where the "he"s refer to Frank. Maybe if Mr. To-remain-nameless spent a little less time policing the internet to make sure that no one perpetuates Gorshin's memory, he might have more time to give him the respect that Frank deserves. |
