Bad faith: an ad hominem attack


A search for domain names containing the trademark Debian finds over 2,500 domains and web sites.

Looking at the list of open disputes in the WIPO UDRP case search, I can see that the list of domain names in dispute only has one thing in common: they are all owned by one person, me.

It is clear they are not concerned about the content, they are concerned with attacking the person, me.

Moreover, this ad hominem attack behavior has started before the registration of the domains and before the complaint. For example, the defamation statement submitted by the complainant is another example of an ad hominem attack. The statement is dated 2021, before all but one of these domains were registered. It shows that the complainant has a history of making ad hominem attacks with an intention to harm my family and I.

An ad hominem use of the UDRP process is therefore harassment by the complainant and a violation of UDRP rule 15(e).
