Trevor McGuire CEO of Singsnap stop stalking me on my social sites. Every time you come to one of my sites I know..

I have other sites that have trackers as well. I have no idea why you would tell your members I had a vendetta against you when it is you who can't stop stalking me? In fact on July 31st you came to my LinkedIn page.. I sent you a message asking you if you were interested in a new venture or were you just curious to see what I was up to?

Then hours later on Aug 1st you were back on my LinkedIn page again. Then on Aug 1st you placed more comments from your FB page to your singsnapsucks page that you have Bob and I tagged on. You have a total of 78 comments on your FB page regarding that letter that by the way was crossing the lines of good faith. And accusing me of a vendetta which is not true.

You did not share with your members your part in all of this.. I can make a word press site and do that but you see I am not the one obsessed here am I? ..So let's just say stay off my sites because it makes you look stalkish. Sick of seeing Nepean, Ottawa, ON, Canada showing up every where and every time I check my visitors.

Get over yourself. Screen shots below from just 2 sites which should suffice to get my point across. Have a good one! I know McGuire can't see this as he is blocked but I am certain a singsnap friend or two of mine can get this to him.

You are fortunate that this is as far as I am taking it ..

Unless of course your obsession doesn't end .. Then we will take it back to Hey and will include your letter.

On August 25th, 2011 a lawsuit was filed against SingSnap.com founder and CEO Trevor McGuire as well as three other members of the SingSnap website. This lawsuit filed in Pennsylvania Federal Court by Diane Patchen and her fiancรฉ Robert Smik, alleged, among other things, a conspiracy to defame and copyright infringement. Eatsleepmusic Corporation, owner of SingSnap, was later added as a defendant.

Diane Patchen was banned from the SingSnap community in February of 2010 and soon after made numerous inaccurate posts around the web regarding Mr. McGuire and his business. Filing this lawsuit against him was, Mr. McGuire believes, the culmination of her vendetta. As soon as the lawsuit was filed, it was publicized on dozens of Internet complaint boards by anonymous posters.

McGuire and SingSnap immediately retained counsel to fight these ridiculous and baseless allegations.

On September 27th, 2012 the Judge William H. Yohn Jr. of the United States District Court DISMISSED all of the Plaintiffโ€™s claims and Denied the motion for severance and transfer of the claims as โ€œnot in the interests of justiceโ€ because the claims were โ€œfrivolousโ€. The parties later resolved the litigation, including motions by McGuire and Eatsleepmusic Corporation seeking sanctions and their attorneysโ€™ fees, to the satisfaction of all parties.

Hey McG, your continued obsession is of great concern. You got away with your actual vendetta by putting other up to posting despicable comments toward Diane and you hid behind a legal system that has not quite caught up to the damage being caused via the web.

You were lucky the case was read by some retired judge who has little knowledge of the stalking, harassing and hatred that takes place on the web and the damage it can cause. You still espouse some *** about someone elseโ€™s vendetta when you took calculated steps to instruct others to post degrading comments and the interesting part is, they did it - all out of fear that you would ban them from a singing web site. Goes to show that you did pick your cohorts correctly. Katie Loudon and the fake brother she had to invent to try and extricate herself from you web, and the guy who says he tried to *** down other websites which you did not like, at your request according to court filed documents.

Singsnap was all they had so they did your dirty work. Despite what you say in your ridiculous letter that you posted all over the web โ€“ to anyone concerned, justice was not served, certainly no truth was revealed. You must have been terrified that this might actually go to discovery and heaven forbid a trialโ€ฆthen your minions would have caved in lest they be found to be lying on the stand.

Its over now Mcg. give it a rest and go about you little life and target someone else.

If you want to see what the outcome of this "lawsuit" was, google SingSnapSucks or go to their website.

More *** from the King of scams. This would be their version of the outcome right?

No thank you, I think people prefer the outcome according to the facts. In fact I would reckon that anyone would prefer the facts than his version any day. Of course the fact you all posted this *** all over the Internet just goes to show you and anyone reading, you are hiding things and telling half truths.

So your Update stinks of lies. Have fun liars.

Singsnap/Eatsleepmusic slam-dunks Diane Patchen and her fiancรฉ Robert Smik right out of court with a win.

It seems this entire lawsuit was nothing more than elaborate fabrications as told by Diane Patchen and her fiancรฉ Robert Smik to their attorney Francis X.Taney Jr. to bring a frivolous lawsuit with hopes of winning thousands of dollars from the defendants named in the suit found on pacer.gov.

Much to the dismay of the Plaintiffs the Judge in this case, Judge William H. Yohn Jr. saw right through this scam and threw out any motion the plaintiffs and their attorney tried to execute. The judge denied the motion to sever two of the defendants, as he said it would not serve justice and he stated these claims were "Frivolous" So what we have here is justice being served for the defendants wrongly accused by the plaintiffs.

It is a sad state of affairs when people such as Diane Patchen and her fiancรฉ Robert Smik waste the court systems time. So we need to ask the question. Does money really talk, or the truth? The plaintiffs would have you believe the first to be true. In this case justice prevailed and this hoax of a lawsuit brought by the plaintiffs should embarrass them, and teach them a lesson. That lesson would be. Don't attempt to lie when you have nothing to back up your fabrications. This was a laughable attempt to win a lawsuit, start to the finish.

To those who watched this lawsuit unfold and wind down to a loss for the plaintiffs, we can only say this. Look before you leap.

It seems a settlement has been made and we can speculate it was in favor of the defendants. And we can also speculate this was to protect the plaintiffs and their attorney from sanctions. The plaintiffs selfishness at its finest.

If youโ€™re considering suing someone in the future, read this case and do not and, we repeat do not attempt the same huge blunder, unless you have money to throw around and don't mind losing your shirt.

Trevor posts here? How tacky..

This case has been dismissed by Judge Yohn. In his decision he described the allegations as "frivolous." The Judge in the case has now scheduled a hearing to deal with a motion for sanctions against the Plaintiff, Diane Patchen and her attorney.

the truth is what ever singsnap owner and staff and favorite members of the staff tell people , cause the singsnap staff thought that Ladymatika when suspended would go quietly off the internet and never sing again

they though wrong so wrong in fact that ladymatika is doing better now that she ever has done before on singsnap when they charged her a hundred and seventy dollars a year to sing and then 2 months ago they suspended her right after she just got done saying come july 3rd which is next week she is leaving singsnap for good becaus she can no longer stomach the *** going on , ladymatika is a 6 year veteran of singsnap she came on singsnap when it was invite only and if it wasn't for Ladymatika nobody would be enjoying the singing of JJ martin or steven patrick or all the other singers from bix and ksolo and singshot because LadyMatika is the reason why singsnap has these people because she is the one who invited them onto singsnap because bix and at the time the karaoke site ksuperstar was going down and so was singshot where a few more favorites on singsnap came from Poppy , and Ron Hudson Daveman, visions and it is visions the reason why she got suspended in the first place because a favorite member of the staff's has been blocked by him because she told him not asked not suggested told him that if he did not get rid of that crazy *** *** she'd have a staff member do it for him and several times a day she sent him email thus *** him off about 2 things 1 he doesn't like constant emails 2 he's a christian and she kept cursing in her letters what a bafoon ,

so you see a 6 year veteran LadyMatika of singsnap er should i say was ,

was suspended on the accourd of a member's word who is a staff favorite , you know I call you guys *** kissers or you probably would't of gotten singsnapsucks without being a favorite *** kisser of singsnap staff and owner nobody on singsnap gets their way without being an *** kisser .

cause the favorite members wouldn't know a good singer if one was singing in their face !!!!!!!

2 days after LadyMatika was suspended for life on here email at facebook she got a email from somebody who some how had anonymous on it and no subject and it said and i quote stop trying to get back onto singsnap we don't want you back your kind isn't wanted at singsnap any more , besides you can't sing that good anyways ,

by god she made a liar out of that fool didn't she cause not , she's got a brand new karaoke site which has songs on it singsnap cannot get due to licensing in the United States (God Bless the USA) and also she's got 2 new sites where she puts her songs at on facebook and another site which I am not gonna say cause singsnap staff and it's *** kissers will go on it and make trouble for her although she already told them singsnap suspended her and she told them why and you know what they said to her , they said and I quote , well who ever suspended you was a *** fool because you are a beautiful singer why a karaoke site gave you up is beyond me they are dumber than a crock of *** to lose you - and this site she is on has nothing on it but professional artists and musicians both sites do , so if she cannot sing that good like a singsnap staff said to her why would a site for professional singers and artists and musicians want her ??

because the singsnap staff or favorite member who told matty that was talking out of their *** probably out of jealousy because she can sing better than they can that's what !!!!!!!

Follow-up to my previous comment: evidently it renumbers them in a very strange manner... ignore the "#4" and direct my comment to the one made by SingSnapSucks on December 14, 2011.

Guest

lemme reword that statement in #4 to be more accurate: The accusations (I'll go ahead and spell the words correctly for you, too) against my company and my staff are false. Google the name of my other website, SingSnapSucks (which, incidentally, I bought up specifically so I could delete the comments of unhappy ex-customers who I or my staff had banned and insert positive reviews made by myself and my staff), or visit my website directly at SingSnapSucks.com to find out how we can't take criticism and exhibit stalker behavior.

Congratulations on losing a potential customer.

Matty K

NO THEY ARE NOT I AM LIVING PROOF

it's just singsnap staff members and their followers cannot stifle me any more like they can on the site that was not their orginally but somebody else's but they had to get the manager of singsnap to buy it ,

but this isn't singsnapsuck.com formally manthissitesuck.com , somebody else made that site you now own or should i say Trevor owns

and you can't moderate this site like you can that site and singsnap, and people can come on this site and say and do what they want too although if they are from singsnap you'd probably have them suspended for malicious lies towards your fellow worshipers , the other sites "yes virginia there is other sites" dont' have to threaten their members with if you do this your gone if you do that your gone , and they do not put insulting videos on youtube right after they suspended anybody , singsnap did that , but isn't that funny there are over a thosand videos with 50 videos on a page all singsnap the first ones are just a cope out , trying to show that it's just for the new stuff singsnap has but the rest of it as you go on and on and on is nothing but singsnap videos , and that's a funny thing when STAFF MEMBERS and the Owner said to it's members NO MEMBER OF SINGSNAP IS ALLOWED TO PUT VIDEOS BELONG TO SINGSNAP ON YOUTUBE PUTTING VIDEOS ON YOUTUBE IS FORBIDDEN , ho ho hoooooooo is that not a big fat lie , oh and I showed sound choice and chartbuster this lie also and also told them about the lawsuit , which is funny they didn't know about that seeing how I was told by a staff member they got a partnership going with singsnap , and 3 members of the RIAA that I talked too found it very curious that a song that was taken down by the lic on singsnap appeared back on singsnap the next week or so , good thing I wasn't called to court huh , you can sue all of the suspended members you want to the fact of the matter is they are suspended for false accusations from members of singsnap who favor the members who got them suspended in the first place

that's the one thing that is a big who ha on singsnap , the staff members let their favorite people get away with murder on singsnap point being all those videos of singsnap on youtube , which singsnap says their members are not allowed to post on

Matty K

and you refused to comeback on anything I write so I did a video on youtube about it the reason why I was suspended and what for

Matty K

yeah but when I gave the reason why I was suspended on singsnapsucks.com and said the reason why I refused to do it you deleted it

didn't want to hear the side of a six year member who was suspended because I refused to quite using youtube and the karaoke channel online.com , cause members where asking me how I was doing it without using singsnap

why don't you singsnap members get a life other than trying to stop the suspended members of singsnap from singing on other sites and putting videos on youtube

you got your way they are not on singsnap no more , why stop them from singing on other sites and on youtube .

IF A PERSON LOVES TO SING WHY STOP THEM FROM SINGING JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT ON SINGSNAP IT'S NOT THE ONLY SITE IN THE WORLD OF KARAOKE

JUST CAUSE MEMBERS OF SINGSNAPSUCKS.COM THINKS SO DOESN'T MAKE IT SO

SINGSNAPSUCKS ARE NOT GODS AND NEITHER IS THE STAFF AND MANAGER OF SINGNSAP

SO GROW UP AND GET A LIFE AND LEAVE THE LIFE OF OTHERS ALONE AND QUITE WRITING ON MY NEPHEW'S VIDEOS THAT HE HAS A *** FOR A AUNT OR YOU'LL LOSE SINGSNAP'S CHANNEL ON YOUTUBE YA *** TWITS
