Mr. Wilson is now harassing us at our new hosting provider, trying to get them to take our site down. He has stooped to lying as well.
-------------------
To Whom it May Concern:
One of your users recently spammed me with an advertisement for
hairlosstalk.com when it was hosted on Interland. Interland
cancelled the account and the spammer moved the site to your
system. In retaliation for my complaint, your user has posted private
e-mail from me, my personal information, and images of me on
hairlosstalk.com. See, for example, the discussion thread beginning
here:

I consider your user's actions an invasion of my privacy and a
violation of the following provision of your AUP. I also consider the
statements posted there to be libelous.
"Any conduct that constitutes harassment, fraud, stalking, abuse, or
a violation of federal export restriction in connection with use of
Rackspace services or products is prohibited."
Please tell you user to remove the offending material immediately
from your servers. If he refuses to do so, please cancel the account
and remove the web site.

It's unfortunate that Mr. Wilson has had to stoop to lying (Mr. Wilson, isn't that the definition of Libel?). Here are the facts:
1. We did not spam anyone. We've provided written proof to Mr. Wilson of that and he still opted to lie to our current host.
2. Interland did not cancel our account. We still have a fully operable account with Interland right now. In fact, I haven't even put in the request to cancel yet, as we are still performing the migration. Another lie.
3. "In retaliation for my complaint". Your complaint? Are you referring to the multiple vulgar harassing emails containing comments about "death" to me and bringing down my site? I believe those qualify as harassment, stalking, and now you've added libel to your list of faults.
4. We did NOT post any private information about you on our site. We posted your comments and actually *deliberately* blanked out your email address.
5. We did not "Post Photos" of you on our site. One photo of you was found on another site and was referenced with a URL. You cannot upload photos to these discussion forums. It is physically impossible. You can simply reference the file sitting on another server and it appears here. That picture is on another web site. If you want the photo removed, contact the website you gave it to.
6. Our users did a little research and found that you post publicly on several other sites with your email address in plain view of everyone who reads it, so your complaint that your privacy has been violated is nothing more than theatrical drama in an attempt to make Rackspace afraid of us as a customer.
Fortunately, we've already fully discussed this matter with our current provider and they're already fully aware of the true story. They're also fully aware of the spam attack we underwent last month. They welcomed us with open arms because they saw the same proof you did that we did not do the spamming.
Mr. Wilson, stop wasting your time. There are hundreds of thousands of people who rely on this site for help, and you are performing a very unethical service to try and shut it down.
If you want people to be nice to you, then stop sending death threats and vulgar harassing stalking emails to the owner of a site they love. We support freedom of speech here, and will let our users post whatever they like if the information is public. And it is. You put it there yourself.
