I would like to sue the american cancer society for embarassing me in front of the world. Last September 2008, I donated money to the ACS in behalf of a woman I knew that had a lumpectomy. She took me to court and tried to jail me for stalking her on the net. She claimed that I donated the money within 3 hours of when she placed her name on the site asking for donations in her behalf. I knew her. and did as she requested. The judge cautioned her for her Jerry Springer like antics in the court and then found her claim un proven. 1 month later the ACS changed my name on the site from my birth name to anonymous. I asked why and then they booted me out of the system and warned me not to come to the walking event late in the month October 2008. They said they would escort me out of the grounds if I even came just to watch. they refused to tell me who changed my name and why it was changed. I did not make any threats or even raise my voice I only wanted to know who and why. I was supposed to walk in the event. but they barred me. i wanted to walk in honor of my mother who died in 2006 from breast cancer. I feel that there must be a way to sue to force them to explain in a civil way why they embarassed me when I did nothing wrong or illegal. can anyone tell me why i should not be angry at this giant group?
I agree there must be more. that's what I want to find out. It appears to me that the ACS has elevated themselves to some type of appellate court to over ride the judge in the court of law's decision. the lady I believe went to them the ACS and told them how nasty that mean old judge was in that he didn't believe her holy nuggets of truth. I suspect that she suffers from mental problems. that's my humble opinion, I'm not a doctor. what I posted was the truth. There was no mention on the site that there was a waiting period for donors. She asked for donations publicly I donated legally and she attempted to jail me. My lawyer had a field day i won going away. You are innocent until proven guilty. Now some may say name changing is not embarassing. That is one point of view. Understand this though my mother gave me two things on my day of birth my heart beat and my name she has passed on i was involved with the walkathon in her honor. Who are they to trample her gifts to me? And why if it was normal to do that do they refuse to answer? Why would any fair person not agree that they don't have the right to do that without courteously answering why? I think slander may be involved if they were told that i commited a crime when I did not, causing them to react in such a mean spirited way without asking me for my side. what happened to due process?
Sorry, but you have no case. They did not embarrass you in any way. It may be true that this woman complained to them and they acted precipitously. It may be true that this woman slandered you. But since they have not made any of their moves public or publicly stated you were banned from participating in the event or repeated anything this woman may have told them, you have no legal recourse.
Often times site names get changed to protect the privacy of the person or to follow site rules and regulations. It's been done on this site as well.
The fact is, the people that own the site have the right to change your username without your consent.
As the people hosting the walkathon they also have the right to ban you from it. A reason would be nice, polite, but they really don't have to give you one, it's their event.
If you can prove that the woman slandered you then sue her, but it doesn't sound like you have proof.
I really don't see how you have a lawsuit against anyone.
They, as all stores and private businesses have the right to refuse "service" to anyone they want as long as it was not done becuase of a protected class.
I would assume ( and it is only a guess) that the law suit which involved thier name ( although they were not involved) was enough to keep clear of any future issues.
