In article , Badwater Bill says...
I'm not so sure that the publicity Chuck gets from some maniacal rant is all harmful. I think most people who really know what's going on, understand the rift and take it for what it's worth. As for those who don't know beans about Zoom or Chuck, I really think that the press, even though negative possibly helps Chuck because it keeps his company's name in circulation. Frankly Bill if I had my druthers I would rather that 9 years ago zoom just would have left me alone.I'm capable of generating my own press that isn't harmful and have done enough legitimate things in this business to earn press space. I've accomplished things that are verifiable and not embellished, unlike most of zooms record. Negative publicity might work for politicians and movie stars but it don't work for guys like me I don't like it and it cost me plenty.But he dealt the cards and I'm stuck with it. Yes, I know this is a strange thing to say to some of you, but I have friends who feel that any press, negative press included can be a benefit. Maybe they're movie stars or politicians, they can have it. I'm not trying to open a debate over this, I'm just speculating a bit, and I'm not sure what the real outcome is. I think the real outcome will come when zoom finally gets 2 nickles to rub together and has something of value ,then I'll probably sue him for all this crap and take it away . But at the rate he's going it will be a long time.That may be the only way it will stop. Until then every time he lies or twists the truth he will be exposed for doing it. But, I'll guarantee you one thing, everybody in the ultralight industry knows who Zoom is and they all hold him and what he says in context. Having Zoom out to get you is considered an product endorsement by many. In fact most of the readers of this group are in that category! That is true enough but it only applies to those who are aware of the whole story .To newbies it sounds like it's just a ****ing match between some people who don't like each other.They think zoom is probably a legitimate guy and not the phoney that he is.He tried passing off his phoney credientials to an English magazine recently,which only proves that he's still trying to pass himself off as legitimate and that people who are unaware of his background will accept him at face value unless they have reason not to . Sadly he could have been a legitimate player in this field but he chose for what ever reason to try to make himself bigger then life and and the savior of aviation. That attitude caused him to lose credibility and for many others such as ex employees ,ex writers and manufacturers to have to deal with the unnecessary grief he caused.

Usually defamation (libel, slander) lawsuits have short statutes of limitations, meaning you have to file your lawsuit shortly after the defamation is published. On a couple of other issues here, I don't agree with the proposition that the only thing worse than bad publicity is no publicity at all. That is a weasel statement made by a weasel who doesn't understand the agony or damage caused by defamation, or that good name and reputation are the immediate jewels of one's soul. It is true too that most people in the homebuilder community know that Campbell is a rather nasty little narcissist, but the young and impressionable who come along fresh and naive must constantly be reminded that while he may be articulate, he's also got big credibility problems. On the other hand if he exposes REAL crooks, which sometimes he HAS done, he contributes a service. So he has a history of blasting advertisers who decline to renew their ads. You take him and his shills with a grain of salz. |

Depends on the deal. Sometimes confession to a lesser charge is a condition.

In article , Juan E Jimenez
says... Are you claiming in this forum and in front of all your fellow gaggle groupies that you have _never_ been successfully sued on an issue related to your company and your products? Yes or No will suffice. Yes to the "sucessfully sued" part but being sucessfully sued doesn't denote guilt or a loss as you and zoom are attempting to imply. Be credible for a change . Be careful how you answer, toadsucker. Settlements count, particularly when they happen about two weeks prior to the trial, about the time when you found out what expert witnesses were lined up to testify against you... Boy how little you know and as Sister Mary Pontius Pilot used to say "empty cans make the most noise". If you knew anything about lawsuits you would have known that both sides know who the expert witnesses are months before a trial.There was no dramatic "two weeks " before the trial incident I should know I was there you weren't.It's only in the movies and in zooms head. Settlements don't count as losses ,once again you show your ignorance as to how it works. I guess using that logic when zoom sued the RAH-15 and none of us went to jail I guess zoom "lost".

So finally you admit that you have been in fact been successfully sued for negligence in the design of one of your aircraft. It's about time. Looks like Jim was not lying after all, was he? ![]() Where the **** did you read that in his statement? Damn if you are not worse than Zoomer on being able to read.

If you knew anything about the civil court system in this country you would know that guilt is for criminal matters. No civil court judges do not assign guilt. Paying $750,000 are a result of a lawsuit is not a loss. Unhuh. You keep saying that to yourself, someday maybe someone will believe it. Juan And if you knew anything about the civil courts in this country you would realize that anybody can sue anybody for virtually anything and end up with a settlement. That settlement may or may not be based on a ligitimate claim. In most cases the settlement is an agreement between the parties to avoid the costs of further litigation. It does little good for any company to fight and win a case based on lack of merit, if the win will cost far more than the settlement. In fact, with todays litigation system and its endless appeals, it is far smarter to settle than to win. Now go blow smoke up somebody elses ass.

![]() Juan, Were you there at the court procedings or process? If not then where do you get your infomation concerning CGS's decision tree ? from this site ? http://www.tommcgrathlaw.com/. If this is your source of info a lot can be inferred about your fact gathering skills as the information listed is provided by the firm that was able to get a settlement out of CGS and ATlantic uncerwriters and as such is biased info. Now please tell me you have the integritry to have gathered all the relevant records perused them and come up with an informed opionion that you identify as such and not classify your opinon as fact. all the best Sean Trost |
