A guy who has the same name as a character in a Blair Witch video game is making crazy lawsuit threats against a gamer news-site because when you google his name, you get information about the game — and he's sad because people think he's a nutcase!
My name is Robert MacNichol and this name is coming up on the Blair Witch Vol. II site at:

I'd like some explination as to how this happened. I want my name off your public domain and diconnected with anything relating to your business. Please advise Rob…
Thank you. I'm wondering if my name shows up on some NAMBLA site—which I won't even click on out of curiosity. I got a couple of lawyers–I know–looking into it now. Usually they say forget it. not yet on this one. You're probably on track when you imply I can shove it if I don't like it. I got a scathing bunch of e-mails calling me a whack job because this popped up when someone typed in my name. Damned embarrasing. I wasn't threatening to sue. I was asking for some solution other than that. If I do. And if I win big–hahahahahahahahaha!–I'll remember you and the site…and your pointer about reality. Someone got rich when they spilled a cup pf coffee in there lap at McDonalds. I ought to be able to get my name off a whack site don't you think? My favorite all time game was River Raid by Atari(?) as I recall. The only other one I like is Pong , oh! and Brick Attac k–on my cell phone. I know a lady who "became" a witch. Blair Witch wadda …. wadda…. I can't even think of the term. The VN thing is me. A Canadian liblosrer? Naw. Helen who? I get your point…never the less wish me luck. I may be paving new ground on the WWW.
(Thanks, Duke!)
