Dr. Steven C. Nielson Hires Reputation Management firm to threaten Patient Safety Advocate

In July of 2016, I posted some articles and a video here about Dr. Steven Nielson, a podiatrist who had allegedly harmed patients in Pennsylvania by doing liposuction on them. Fox29 news did a lengthy report on him.
A month or so ago I was told by Tumblr that someone had filed a copyright infringement notice for the photo I had posted of Dr. Nielsen, even though I use the photos via the “fair use” doctrine of the Copyright law. Companies like Tumblr automatically take down the material in question without any investigation into the matter or proof of violation.
On August 29, 2018, I received an email from an F. Michael Santa (Paralegal Certificate Graduate), a Social Medial Image Specialist for a reputation management company called, Business Image Lift, LLC. in Boynton Beach, Florida.
The email starts of “respectfully” asking me to remove….but that’s where the respectfulness ended. It then goes on to say,

He goes on to threaten:

I didn’t know there was a “New York” in “West Palm Beach, Florida,” did you?
So can someone explain how it’s respectful to threaten a “two million dollar” lawsuit??
I mean, is this “paralegal” for real? He can’t even write very well. Check it out:

However, in his last email to me today, August 31, 2018, it seems he’s changed his tune about my website being helpful and them wishing me no harm.

I wonder how he thinks they tried to avoid this. All he did was basically say, take it down or we’ll sue. When he thought I wasn’t going to take it down, he just threatened to sue again.
I even explained to him that I’m a volunteer patient safety advocate, that I had given up my career after both my mom and disabled sister died of medical errors by negligent doctors. I explained how I volunteer my time and make very little money, and how I was forming a new patient safety nonprofit organization to help educate people about patient safety issues.
I told him that it wouldn’t look good for a doctor who had harmed patients to sue a volunteer patient safety advocate over posting someone else’s news article.
He didn’t seem to care. He says he thinks this doctor is a good person. Watch the video and judge for yourself.
I hate asshole like this.
