- Gentlemen;
- It has come to my attention that you are using a theatrical photo of me (I work as a professional actor as well as an inveistigative joiurnalist) with the caption "Lee Kaplan is a douchebag."
- These smears are usually put together by anti-Israel activists in the US. First, you do not have my permission to use my likeness unless you remove the douchebag comment accompanying it. Second, .I would think if you have some class, you would not let your site be used to smear people, especially without explanation.
- My brother is a powerful litigating attorney and if I have to bring my family into suing you, I will. However,'
- I am asking you amicably to remove the entire entry or delete the "douchebag" comment that is entirely vulgar and serves no purpose other than to smear me on the Internet.
- Please respiond to this in writing.
