Message from Dennis Hof to Not Luke- The topic that discussed the Bunny killed is very bad, you are allowing posters to say terrible untrue things about me and my business.
I respectably ask you to remove these untrue statements by noon monday and monitor your site to stop this type of assaults.
My Attorney Al Gelbard has successfully sued Luke and won over issues like this. If you do not remove the terrible untrue statements I will have him begin an action Monday.

Dennis,
Funny how I have never received an answer from you when I e-mailed you a question. Or a thank you for all the nice things I have said about you and your business. Or a comment the many times I have posted up news from the Bunny Ranch that your webmaster has sent me. All of the above giving you free publicity. What my commenters say doesn’t reflect my views. I could leave the post with the comments up and fight you on it. There are many cases showing that bloggers are not responsible for what others say on their site. But frankly it’s not worth my aggravation. Try asking nicely next time. It would get you a lot farther.
Not Luke
UPDATE-NL- Dennis & I had another e-mail exchange, and I think we are cool now. I’ll let you know if I hear anything else.
Sorry Cin! Only I seem to be able to get under his skin, GOOD! I think the small penis comment did it! Tee Hee Hee!
I must have struck a nerve!
Don’t let him scare you,free speech is not slander, he has a guilty conscience. Sue me Dennis! Bring it!
Call Paul Cambria!
What a Jerk ! Fuck him ! Boycott the Ranch!
Always thought Dennis was about PR, good or bad, and considering that commercial…er…show on HBO, he knows bad.
I’m just really good at pissing him off.
What the hell, Cindi! “I think we’re cool now”? Why did you remove the comments?! You backed down and that’s bullshit. You are protected by the statues (or lack thereof) and TONS of case law, what are you afraid of? Of all issues to be vigilant on, its this one as PWs need to know what they’re getting into when they sign up. Definitely NOT Luke! Tell the truth again, Ruby…
There really is no such thing as free speech, for every time someone speaks their mind, there’s a price.
This guy is nothing but a pimp and he even gives that profession a bad name. That is hard to do. Cindi never back down from anyone especially over comments on a public forum board. We have a little thing called the first amendment in this nation. As messed up as we are we can at least open our mouths.
I know we are all pro adult and so forth but at the same time. We are in the adult industry and lets face facts most people in our nation view us as scum. So nothing that could be on a board here could be any worse then what normal citizens already think of the man. A pimp is a pimp doesnt matter how you dress it.
You even run a disclaimer at the top of your site about comments too.
I’m sure worse things have been said about pimps. Dennis is a legal pimp but worse has been said about him than what the comments here were saying.
He successfully sued Luke? I remember hearing only one person was successful in suing Luke and that was a female porn star. Luke’s insurance paid out. Maybe Dennis threatened Luke but I never heard he successfully sued Luke.
Dennis provides a legal service and does so well enough to make a large profit on it. Unlike the stereotypical “pimps”, his workers can make a lot more working for him that they actually keep than most places and in person he has always struck me as a nice guy. I’m curious as to what was said to bother him so much, his point that lies are not protected speech certainly accurate…
Ruby said Hof had a “barely functioning” two-incher among other things… 🙂
Defamation is not protected by free speech but Ruby claims that all her statements are factual based on personal experience. Besides, Cindi is not liable for any comment posted on LIB by a commentator since she is not the one who made the comment nor involved in assisting the spread of that PARTICULAR comment.
Fuck what I just said. Of course Cindi is right. But still, US case laws give her the advantage against any potential libel suit. E.g. Batzel v. Smith, 333 F.3d 1018 (2003).

Dennis was likely offended about the penis comment.
Did anyone see that video interview he did last week? It was strange.
He has diabetes and he doesn’t take care of it, that can make you insane. Maybe that’s what’s happening, can’t say I’m upset about it.
Why does the phrase “I told you so” suddenly come to mind?
