Coffman & Kurtz Still At It?

So, I noticed DJ Coffman post the following on Twitter:
djcoffman Platinum just emailed me a cease and desist from using the herobynight.com and .net addresses. That was nice of them. about 1 hour ago from TwitterFox

Just two Twitters later on my list, Scott Kurtz says the following:
pvponline I just sent myself a cease and desist letter demanding that I stop being so awesome with my own creations. I'm going to fight myself on this about 1 hour ago from twitterrific

And then:
pvponline Oh crap. I just sued myself for not honoring previous C&D me sent myself. Can't afford lawyer. Will have to defend myself twice. 7 minutes ago from twitterrific

With another:
pvponline Your honor, I'm a flight risk and request bail be withheld and immediately object to said request on the grounds that I am not a flight risk 4 minutes ago from twitterrific

All part of an attempt to get at DJ about the whole giving up your character to "the man"?

I can't figure out if DJ's latest is about Kurtz or Platinum:

djcoffman If they keep it up, I'll send them all to camp cupcake, if they'd like? 5 minutes ago from TwitterFox

Oh well. I'm just glad it gave me something to blog about, cuz I had nothing.

Update: And it continues:

pvponline Jury's out. I just came to myself with a last minute deal. I want myself to settle. But my closing statement totally killed my other closing 3 minutes ago from twitterrific
pvponline Took the deal and settled out of court. I have to be my own butler for a month. 7 minutes ago from twitterrific

    I think they're just fucking with us now.

    Right?

    Given that DJ doesn't really seem to be playing along, I think it's just Kurtz fucking with him.

    I was trying to follow their twitter war when it was active, but I didn't really understand the position Kurtz was taking. Something is either parody or it's not. It doesn't matter whether the property's owner digs it or not, or even if it's done in good taste.

    Now it looks as though Kurtz is just being a raging dick because he can. I've never been a fan of that.

    Yeah, it was satire, I believe. The whole Foxtrot = like, Skull eye-fuck = don't like comment summed up the real beef.

    And I rather have something to watch going on than nothing. ;)

    FYI: DJ has indicated he's trying to avoid getting pulled into drama, so I don't think this will develop into anything again.

It is preferred that you sign some sort of name to your posts, rather than remain completely anonymous. Even if it is just an internet nickname/alias, it makes it easier to get to know the people that post here. I hope you all will give it some consideration. Thank you.
