Additional Communication Between Claimant and Rick Richardson "R" At Hellopoetry.Com Hide

  • I am adding a public message to this claim by Rick Richardson.

    My name is Vicki Bashor. I am named by Quin Overman as someone he accuses of attacking him on a poetry website. He claims to have proof of me doing this on many platforms of social media. I can attest he has nothing. Anything borne from Hello Poetry is simply self-defense on my part and Rick Richardson's part, who I can firmly attest has been harassed beyond the pale by Quin Overman. This public complaint needs removed, as like Mr. Richardson, I am being unfairly maligned and affected in my personal and professional life.

  • Nov 29, 2016, Rick Richardson "r" at hellopoetry.com (responding party) added:
  • Since Mr Overman is basically a homeless drunk who moves from rented room to rented room, it would be a waste of time for me to sue him. The PeoplesClaim website, however, can and will be sued for damages if my name is not removed and removed very soon.

Respondent's Counteroffer Hide
The claimant's settlement terms were rejected with the following explanation:
  • I disagree with the explanation / grounds provided

    "The claims made by Mr. Quin Overman, aka WolfSpirit, are spurious, false and do not tell the entire story of past interactions that I had with Mr. Overman on the poetry website Hello Poetry. Mr. Overman has now been banned from Hello Poetry for trolling behavior that includes the very actions that he falsely accuses me of. He was banned by the site's owner and administrator, Mr. Eliot York based on multiple complaints by many users of Hello Poetry for his unethical, harassing and vulgar posts and attacks of poets on the site. Mr. Overman, who used the penname WolfSpirit, was previously banned from the poetry site Writers Café for the same behavior that he was banned from Hello Poetry for, and the behavior that he attributes to others.

    I am still a member in good standing of Hello Poetry, while Mr. Overman, aka WolfSpirit, can no longer post there due to his behavior and after repeated warnings from the site administrator. He also can no longer post at Writers Café for the same type of behavior.

    There are many members of Hello Poetry who would willingly attest to Mr. Overman's harassment, threats, and vulgarity against not only myself, but other members. Ms. Vicki Bashor, who also is named in Mr. Overman's bogus complaint, is still a member and will verify that it was Mr. Overman who was the aggressor, and not me. Ms. Bashor can be contacted at vabashor@gmail.com Mr. Eliot York, the owner and administrator will also verify that Mr. Overman has been banned from further posting at Hello Poetry. Mr. York can be reached at EliotYork@hellopoetry.com

    I could name many others who were also attacked by Mr. Overman and complained to the site owner/administrator. I have screen shots of vulgar threats and harassment against me that Mr. Overman posted on my Face Book page, on Hello Poetry, and on his Twitter account.

    Mr. Overman obviously has some mental problems that he needs help with. There is a reason that it was he, and not I, that got banned from Hello Poetry, as well as Writers Café.

    I deny his accusations and ask that PeoplesClaim contact the owner and administrator, Mr. Eliot York, as well as Ms. Vicki Bashor, who Overman also attacked, to verify that my account above is true.

    I respectfully request that PeoplesClaim remove my name from this false claim against me. I have a minor son and Mr. Overman's naming of the very small village that I live in poses a risk to my son, myself, and my wife. His claims are false and disparage my name. Anyone who googles my name can run across this. It can cause me fiscal, mental and physical harm.

    I expect PeoplesClaim to take action to correct this situation and to remove my name from these claims made by someone who was banned from the very website that he claims he suffered a loss of readership on. He no longer has a readership because the owner BANNED HIM for his behavior.

    Respectfully,
    Rick Richardson"

  • rick...

    still lying i see....

    i was banned after you and others with multiple accounts conspired to have me banned with faked screen shots and lies.... you are not a family man...your wife left you due to your abuses, your son has nothing to do with you because of it....you talk of vulgarity, when it was you who called my woman a chihuahua bitch and a cunt. and told me publicly on the hello poetry  site to suck your dick. you have even gone as far as to call your main cohort in all this, vicki bashor, a cunt, whore and drug user.... .i never uttered such things to you .how you got eliot york to banish me is anyone's guess, but the general consensus is that you all bribed him..and he has been strangely absent since.....you are a liar, a blackmailer, a bully and a con man..your entire online persona is a lie. you have two months to remove yourself from hellopoetry (all of your many accounts) or i will sue you for defamation of character....i assure you i have the financial resources to do so....in spite of your spurious comments about me being homeless and destitute.....i am of the opinion that you suffer from narcissistic personality disorder and should be considered extremely unstable and dangerous.....i am sick of your truth flipping and bullshit...now you are in genuine trouble...


    i told you to years ago not to underestimate my abilities or intellect,

    this is war.....

    Quin Overman
