... in response to Banned, posted by Patrick on Nov 18, 2003Excellent move Patrick, one I made long ago. I made the following post yesterday before the ban, however it was blown up when the other posts were deleted. Patrick agreed that I could repost it, so here it is:
=================================
To the registered members and many anonymous readers of Planet-Love;
I am writing this post in effort to defend myself and my site against libelous claims made by Jack Bragg. He routinely postes messages here about my site (of which 100% of these posts contain lies) and I feel that some truth should be injected into these topics when this occurs. He has developed a pattern of attacks on my site, the most recent one being on this thread. I have no need to solicit business here, as many of the members of this board frequent my own and I have enough business as it is. In addition, Patrick granted me the ability to defend myself here, as well as the ability to post my URL by removing the RWG URL restriction. So in the event my site is bashed here by Jack Bragg of the Firstdream.com agency in the future, I will respond accordingly. Everyone has their opinion, however a line needs to be drawn when opinion is replaced with deceitful and damaging lies. And I put to much into my site to let these false claims go unanswered.
The RWGuide.com is a place for learning about the dating/marrying Russian women. We have been online for over 5 years and have helped thousands of men in the process. We support the entire process from letter writing to marriage, in effort to ensure the most success for all of our members. That's the short version.
The privacy of our members is very important to us and we have a strict Privacy Policy in place. We also do not publicize the emails of our members, in effort to keep spammers (agency owners, business owners, etc) from soliciting them. We use an effective free Private Messaging system which allows men to communicate with Russian women, members and business owners on the site. Mr. Bragg's recent insinuation that we "read" PM's is another of his false libelous claims aimed at damaging our business by inhibiting our membership base.
It is also not true that we allow bickering and fights; quite the contrary actually, and attested by numerous people here, including one of our 12 moderators just recently. We allow all members to engage in conversations as they choose, provided they follow the rules of posting, which prohibits people from flaming one another. It's really very simple.
We have also been accused numerous times of deleting posts which contain negative comments about our advertisers, another falsehood Mr. Bragg is spreading. There are many posts made on our board each month which are negative about our clients. All one needs to do is search to see them. So the idea that we are protecting our site's revenue by deleting negative posts is another lie, aimed at destroying our revenue.
There have been many other instances of libelous claims by Mr. Bragg on this site, some of which have been damaging to our business, which is ultimately his intention. But I should make it know to the members of this site that we are filing 3 lawsuits against Mr. Bragg. I am entirely confident I will win these suits and collect damages. My attorneys have contacted Mr. Bragg already, warning of these impending suits if he did not refrain from his damaging actions. He has not. If others have been involved in similar situations with Mr. Bragg in the past, I would like to solicit you for any information you may have about IP addresses, libelous posts, false aliases or slanderous comments about you, your agency/business, the RWGuide.com or any other entity which he may have been damaged in the past. I can be reached at spencer@rwguide.com or 512-848-6773, anytime.
Hopefully this post cleared the air a bit and added some truth to an otherwise vicious smear campaign Bragg has been involved in against my site.
