Christian McLaughlin
Christian McLaughlin takes action against William L Thomson Jr, yet it is Christian who has a criminal history of drunk public disturbance, not William. William has never been arrested for public disturbance like Christian McLaughlin. The irony!

A web page was created on Christian McLaughlin's harmful activities in the Jacksonville, Florida Metropolitan area, a region he is not from; not a native. Rather than Christian reflect on his elective, self-serving actions, and consider ceasing or taking a different more cooperative rather than combative approach. Christian McLaughlin, in addition to criminal Corporate Identity Theft, decides to further show his true character in filing a Libel lawsuit against a 501c3 Charitable Non-Profit, instead of filing a Libel suit against the author, the sole acting officer, William L. Thomson Jr., who Christian himself even states is the source per his statement,
“William L. Thomson Jr (“Thomson“) is the incorporator and primary officer of the Corporation and is referenced only as the person through whom the Corporation acted and is not a defendant.”.
Therefore, Christian McLaughlin should be suing William L. Thomson Jr., but once again, despite all claims otherwise, Christian is once again copying William. Not only in filling pro se lawsuits, but in the following statement,
“In these communications, the Corporation's officer stated the Corporation's strategy of pursuing the venues and professional relationships through which Plaintiff operates, asserting that it is “much more beneficial to sue businesses than individuals,” and that by depriving such venues, “then no need to pursue individuals.””.
William L. Thomson Jr. as a lawful officer of the Jacksonville Linux Users Group Inc is performing routine Intellectual Property and Trademark protection, along with defending against Corporate Identity Theft; a crime Christian McLaughlin is guilty of committing! There are reasons why William is pursuing businesses that Christian McLaughlin is completely unaware of due to lacking experience in such matters. Christian McLaughlin continues pursuing harmful actions in a community he is not from, which was the entire motivation for the web page Christian is so bothered by and filed a lawsuit over, without an Attorney; copying William both in pro se and suing a business.
However, unlike William, who all but in a few cases, sought symbolic amounts of $1, and in a couple cases $500, and in one case $2500 to fund recovery of jaxlug.org, all in Small Claims. No Lawsuit is intended to hurt or harm the Defendant, only to get them to cease and desist activity harmful to the Jacksonville Linux Users Group Inc. Therefore, the lawsuits are defensive in nature, and only meant to achieve resolution and not to seek excessive monetary relief, despite being filed against for-profit businesses and city entities, not a non-profit.
But, what amount does Christian seek? $50,000, from a Charitable 501c3 Non-Profit.
We seek donations to further the area through free Linux education and charitable efforts, and Christian wants to harm and rob a Charity! If Christian was suing William for such that would be one thing, but to sue a Charity for $50,000. Again, this speaks volumes to Christian's character; or lack thereof. This is not at all the same or equivalent to William's actions as a lawful officer defending a corporation. Christian seeks to be able to defame and cause harm to others, steal their Corporate Identity, all without accountability, and Christian has no respect for Free Speech; among many things Christian does not respect! Opinions on a private, even corporate, website are fully within Free Speech and do not fall under Florida Libel Laws!
The TRUTH hurts and that is why Christian is so upset and filing a Libel lawsuit.
Christian McLaughlin would be wise to immediately dismiss his lawsuit, before he gets himself into further trouble with the court, as a pro se litigant, not in Small Claims where Attorneys are not expected, he has no idea what he is doing, based on his filing, in a higher court where Attorneys are expected. The page has been moved to a dedicated website, to further clarify the liable and responsible party William L Thomson Jr, which eliminates the vast majority of Christians's claim and the Defendant's liability.
The Jacksonville Linux Users Group Inc. is fully indemnified from the actions of William L. Thomson Jr.
As Christian will find out in court, when a officer acts on their own, they are directly responsible and not the corporation which they represent, and Christian will have to prove otherwise. That other board members, some who joined as Christian was informing of suit, were unaware and not participant, as they are actions that William L. Thomson Jr. has taken directly, as Christian states repeatedly. In addition, to Corporate Identity Theft, as within the filing, Christian clearly implicates himself in such criminal activity multiple times, even in the following statement,
“On September 17, 2025, following the conclusion of the JaxLUG September monthly meeting located at the Jacksonville Public Library Southeast Regional Branch ...”
“Thomson had also previously that day approached the Plaintiff (Christian McLaughlin) and Mr. Dominguez Garcia individually offering them positions in the Corporation parallel to their current positions at the Association (President and Secretary respectively), each of whom declined. ”
Christian is the opposition, not William, it was Christian who declined, it is Christian who is taking sole actions against William, and William, as he had years prior with Ramon in granting access to Github, offered them legal titles which they did not pay for, nor did the work in the filings etc. William offered an olive branch that was refused, and Christian has acted knowingly since, including several acts of defamation on third-party platforms, that meet the legal criteria for Florida libel/defmationation laws.
Therefore, William bears the sole legal responsibility, as Christian will find out from a Judge, who may place sanctions against Christian, which again, Christian would be wise to dismiss. But, there is a reason the page was created, so Christian likely will not dismiss... His biscuit to risk it!

CHRISTIAN McLAUGHLIN VS. JACKSONVILLE LINUX USERS
GROUP, INC., a Florida not-for-profit corporation

That Christian McLaughlin can even sue the Jacksonville Linux Users Group Inc. proves it existence as the authentic, legal, official JaxLUG; the one-and-only.
That Christian McLaughlin can sue the Jacksonville Linux Users Group Inc. shows the difference between an actual legal entity, and the criminal Corporate Identity Theft fictitious entity that Christian is operating using the legal identity of the Jacksonville Linux Users Group Inc. dba JaxLUG, please see our legal page for public record filings.
Finally, Christian suing an entity he declined inclusion, and now he seeks to negate and reverse legal filings through a libel/defamation suite, which they are not intended. From the very start, Christian has been and is the opposition, holding Jacksonville, Florida back. Why? Christian has faced repeated foreclosures and is seeking revenue, like the $200 per person training at BSides Jacksonville Conference 2025, that he had UNF provide venue for free by exploiting UNF students via the UNF student government funded student Osprey Security Club (OSEC). That was done so Christian can avoid another foreclosure.

Goodbye Christian
Christian McLaughlin should cease and desist all activities, transfer any and all accounts under his control to the Jacksonville Linux Users Group Inc immediately, to end this mess, and to start seeking religion in hope that he is not arrested on either State or Federal criminal offenses, if not multiple counts of each! Christian has overstayed his welcome, and has caused plenty enough trouble for an area he is not from, Jacksonville, and Florida, has had quite enough of Christian McLaughlin's self-serving agenda, so he profit off others!
Christian McLaughlin, kindly, leave Jacksonville, Florida and return from whence you came!
And never return!
