A marked man dissed on the Web site DontDateHimGirl.com is fighting back with lawsuits.

Todd Hollis, a Pittsburgh attorney, served the suits on Thursday afternoon.

Hollis is using his legal muscle and know-how to battle what he calls derogatory postings on the Web site.

Pittsburgh attorney Robert Byer received the complaint Thursday on behalf of his client, Tasha Joseph, founder of the DontDateHimGirl site.

It accused her of publishing false and defamatory statements about Hollis on her Web site.

According to Byer, while Hollis may not like the postings written about him, it doesn't mean he has a legal leg to stand on.

Byer said that under federal law, Joseph is not liable for the posting of others on her Web site.

Hollis told Channel 11 earlier this month that the postings are ruining his reputation.

Now, along with Joseph, he's naming two other women in his complaint, women he accused of anonymously posting derogatory comments about him.

One of the comments included in the complaint, now listed as exhibit A, indicates that Hollis might have herpes.

Todd confronted one woman who has now posted an apology.

She now said the earlier posting was a joke and that the information in it was untrue.
