"Defends the indefensible"
"Complains at being called a defender"
You're right, it totally is memetic.

The opposite is true too.

So basically the meme is kinda
"Present stance on issue out of context"
"Throw pity party once all points on issue are shot down"
Am I doing it right?

Who's a defender? I see people calling into question the extent of people's reactions to this issue, and people putting forth that further discussion of this issue is a waste of time...
No one, that I have read, is actually DEFENDING this guy Paul.
If anything it is those who wish to continue shaking their fists at Ocean Marketing who are defending their right to do so to people who are sick of hearing about it.

However my case is a case of someone getting called out for having an opinion, which is a factual thing. Examples: The numerous apologist/defender mentioning there has been in this
While your example is the opinion of someone being judged as invalid because the person viewing it does not agree, and then proceeds to call that person out with a complaint from the person who got judged for their subjective point of view.
So it's quite different in my opinion.
However it's true that there has been some inverted case of people calling out others for having an opinion about the matter with the opposite point of view.

Well they have every option not to click the thread and read it. Nobody is forcing them to "hear about it".

now can we get back to rubbing our grubby little hands together at the prospect of a baddie getting his due?

Lol if he does this , it will be just another step for the hole he is digging ..maybe to rise at an unforgotten internet meme ?
I'm pretty sure that if he does sue, he'll end up setting himself up as the quintessential example of how not to PR and he'll make it into Marketing 101 textbooks for it.

He should probably update the search results shown in this video.

He continues to do things that invite it. When he stops, everyone else will peter off and then stop.

We're all harassing him by reading and then commenting on the interviews he keeps doing.
I'm thinking bad thoughts of him. Does that count?
I kind of hope he does. Not to mess with him, no, but just because the actual message there really does need to be restated.

I could definitely see him in a psychology textbook
I'm sure it wasn't intentional, but I let out a little chuckle.

What do you guys think about people snatching up @oceanstratagy and people making similar names like @oceanmarteking and making fake posts?
I didn't like them and felt it caused too much confusion.

It's hilarious because this guy's business was built on the false claim that he was an expert at social media.
It's not the people with fake twitter names you should be complaining. It's Paul for misspelling his Twitter name in the first place, and changing his name thinking it would trick people in thinking he's gone

Reading good his new interviews I think he is *good* at PR. He just didn't think his emails where he acts like a trur redneck/ jersy shore jerk would leak outside. Now in the official interviews he does good damage control and never misses a chance to paint PA black. I like how he is basically moving all the blame from himself and painting himself as the victim (Gabe KO'd him).
lol no he doesn't. Anyone who has kept up with this whole debacle, which should be any interviewer, would be able to see right through his bullshit.

Stop harassing this guy. Can't you just leave him alone?
I would be your biggest fan if you called him out on any spin or bullshit he tries to spew your way. =D

so can we expect some softball questions or do you plan to call him out on his mountain of tomfoolery?

on that whole 'picking a fight with an mma expert' analogy, the reason why that doesn't work for me, is that he picked a fight with someone he had no idea was well connected after bragging himself about how well connected he was, and that given how well connected he was that there was nothing a single upset customer could do to hurt him.
that's like me walking up to some random guy in the street, bragging about how i'm an expert MMA guy who has trained in every martial art and has trained at all the biggest MMA gyms in the world, Blackhouse, AKA, ATT, Greg Jackson, etc etc.
then some guy walks up to me and says 'hey, stop picking on that random guy, I'm Josh Koscheck' for me to turn around and say 'what are you going to do about it, didn't you hear about how awesome i am at MMA? be careful who you pick fights with dude.'
it goes so much beyond the idea of 'picking a fight' with a random stranger. he bragged about having all these elite connections to a guy much better connected than him who given the connections he claimed to have, he should have known by name as being well connected.
so it's Mike's fault that a guy *claiming* to be able to give him a fight was lying about it?

No softball questions planned (but I'm not going to go all Nancy Grace on him either.) Plus, he's agreed to take questions from the audience (sent to the hosts via the chatroom, sorry, no call ins) and stay on for as long as needed.
I was told that I shouldve asked the customer on the show, too.. but no one has stalked him enough to get his phone number.

i'd really like you to get more detail on him over those accusations of the stolen $35,000 he levied. if that isn't remotely true, the more we get him on record saying it, the better, and if it is true, he's got nothing to worry about making such accusations.
Yeah, you sho---shit, I left the link in there. Damn it!
:lol
I'm kind of curious as to why there hasn't been more said on that. A claim like that seems pretty serious.

Ooh, nice. Can you please hammer into his thick head that people are mad because he's a bully and he's not understanding that he's treating people like shit on a consistent basis?

You put a space before the punctuation like Paul kept doing . Like this .
Edit: :lol You did it in that post too.
It's because you made the same typo as Paul has been making in all of his correspondence so far.
Wrong: Words words , words words .

That poster made a small, grammatical error which Paul Christoforo made a lot.
In particular, the spacing of punctuation like so:
Hello , nice to meet you .
Instead of:
Hello, nice to meet you.
It was just the spacing, much like the question mark in this post. If you look at the OP, Paul's emails were littered with such things. Nothing big and I wasn't laughing at you btw.
