My point is that you made this blog to help customers of Mike, fine. I posted on NO not your blog. I don't wish to be a part of your blog. I'm not going to have people reading your blog from all over and trying to look me up to get a hold of Mike. I was offering to help members from NO forum that's it. So kindly remove my comments that I made on NO from your blog. For your own interest, I would also take down Mikes name just to save you from hassle of possible legal issues. You really need to look up the law before posting a person's name or any other personal info on the internet without having the ok to do so. Posting his website is fine but posting just a person's full name could result in legal problems.<!--QuoteEnd</div><!--QuoteEEndI don’t want to be rude, but your quote stays there. You made the information available to NIGHTOWL members, yes, however NIGHTOWL is a public domain forum, therefore you have zero precedence. If you don’t want people contacting you to get to Mike, then you shouldn’t have offered to do so. IMO you shouldn’t allow Mike to use you as a middleman, If Mike was an honorable businessman he would have requested that you post his phone number for people to get in touch with him directly.Now as for the legality of posting Mike’s full name. Mike has no grounds to come after me what so ever. Mike runs, or ran rather, a business. I’m basically a reporter reporting on how he conducted his business, reporting on what folks are saying about him. Since Mike is known throughout the hobby, he’s not a private person. So what law am I breaking? Mike can try suing me for slander that’s about it, and the burden of proof is on him if he does. Mike would have to prove I lied in my blog, and what did I lie about? What I posted was basically a recap of what was already posted here on NIGHTOWL, along with my commentary. If the blog gets deleted because I violated a TOS agreement, I’ll just find another host to publish it, and if need be I’ll create a domain for it.Instead of me worrying about legal troubles from Mike, Mike should worry about legal troubles from his customers. Mail fraud is a nasty crime, a lot of jail time for that, so I hope Mike gets those orders or refunds out before folks start filing complaints.-TheHost
