Scott Mock/Chubby's Welding.

Oh and an email from his attorney to mine:

"Attached is a proposed stipulation and order in this case. If these meet your approval or if you have edits, please let me know and we will get them filed.

I am also writing to follow up regarding our conversation from last month. Larry S from Texas and Kevin F have both contacted Scott to let him know they were contacted directly by Mr. Jacott in the past couple months. Mr. S and Mr. F both told Scott that Mr. Jacott called him a “crook” and could not be trusted. This is after both Mr. S and Mr. F mentioned on the websites frequented by our clients that they had work performed by Scott. Both men have expressed nothing but satisfaction with Scott’s work and let him know of Mr. Jacott’s communications out of concern for Scott’s business.

We were hopeful the negotiated settlement would be the end of Mr. Jacott’s dishonest statements. At the very least, we hoped everyone would simply walk away; I believe that was the purpose of the settlement that we negotiated. We asked that your client submit a letter of apology as part of the settlement negotiations, which he refused to do. Instead, he seems intent on doing the opposite. We are not in a position to waive any additional claim that may arise from Mr. Jacott’s behavior. Indeed, if we discover Mr. Jacott remains willing to disparage Scott among the members of the website’s forum, we have no other option than to file a separate cause of action.

I know that neither one of us can control our clients’ actions. But I am confident from speaking with Scott that he just wants the matter behind him and is willing to let go even that was not a part of the settlement. Hopefully your client will do the same."


Funny thing, I never said that in any PM or conversation to anyone. "Crook" is not a word I use. I did delete their last names from the email; I don't believe they're a part of this.

My intent was originally to let this all roll. I want to make my wife happy and I want to just get on with my life. Then I saw that his attorney was calling me dishonest and that they actually had the balls to ask for an apology.

Then his friend got into my build thread.

I am sure that he wants to rebuild whatever he lost... I am not sure this is the way to do it. Nothing posted has been dishonest on my part. It's all been his email and pics of his work. So either Mr. S and Mr F. is lying or Scott Mock is...

Edit to add: Kevin is now contacting Scott, since I never said anything like that. Funny how that goes.

Yet he continues to threaten litigation to keep me silent, like he took my money - instead of trying to fix a problem. I've heard from other customers that this is his normal business method.
Obviously your call if you engage him. I can't say I would.
