Hi there,

Are you NetFixer the author of these posts?

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11455660

You have made a statement on a public forum calling me "infamous".

Can you please send me links to the document(s) you read and how it is you verified the validity and accuracy of such statements that made you decide to state that I am "infamous"?

in·fa·mous

–adjective 1. having an extremely bad reputation:
2. deserving of or causing an evil reputation; shamefully malign;
detestable: an infamous deed.

I hope you remove the posts and that this gets resolved in good faith. I am sure you can find other real infamous people to illustrate your arguments and not my name.

Regards,

Nicholas Papadopoulos

The dslreports.com post you referenced was made on September 29, 2004, and the policy at dslreports.com does not permit me to either edit or delete a post that old. Perhaps you can use the http://www.dslreports.com/contacts link for that web site to see if the site operator can/will edit/remove whatever portions of that thread you find offensive. I will start a new thread in the dslreports.com security forum describing your displeasure, and you will certainly be free to post your own comments in that thread.

At the time that post was made, there were a great many postings on numerous web sites related to updated.com not honoring it's obligations to it's pay for click affiliates, and it was also listed on numerous blacklists. Almost three years after that post was made, I can not recall any specific search engine results. If you do a Google or Yahoo! search for the words "updated.com". "scam", and "blacklist" I think that you may still be able to find a few results. I found at that time by doing a whois query on updated.com that the domain name's owner was Nicholas Papadopoulos. That information is currently masked from public view, which I find interesting, but that was not the case in September, 2004.

If I have unfairly maligned you, I apologize, but my comments on September 29, 2004 in the dslreports.com security forum were based on a profusion of publicly available information at that time.

Isn't "GFY" the proper response here?

said by Blue2 :

Absolutely Steve, if you want to provoke litigation and have the mental age of a five year old.

said by Steve :

Anybody asking somebody to edit a 2-year-old post is just being ridiculous (especially since they can start their own thread), but I suppose I could tone it down and suggest "get lost".

Suggesting that this might lead to litigation is way more than silly.

Dear Mr. Royce Shofner

Please send an email to take the post down and I will follow up with it as you recommended since you made that post.

http://www.dslreports.com/contacts link

I called and asked you in the most polite manner to remove what you wrote about me. I hope you know that I am serious and that you will be responsible for what you stated on that public forum so be prepared to defend your actions in the right forum.

I ask that you dont post anything further or my offer to resolve this friendly without litigation will be withdrawn and then be prepared to hire an attorney to defend your unlawful acts.

You told me people have written bad things about you and or your company and that you don't approve in that conduct. You said you relied on information that you found on the net and I asked you to send it, now you can't find it. You will need all that information and evidence to support your "infamous" statements and if you dont have it be prepared to bare the costs to defend your self and if you loose additional damages and my attorney's fees if applicable by the law.

We never met, we never did any business, I don't owe you anything, you dont know me, and I don't know you so Mr. Royce Shofner you accused me personally and that's NOT right. Consider that if any corporation was unable to pay an electric bill once or twice that doesn’t mean the administrative contact of the domain name of their website is an "infamous" person or do you think it does?

Don't you rather focus on real productive work?

Let me know by Monday or I will call and have my attorney take immediate steps to resolve this in the court of law.

Sincerely,

Nicholas Papadopoulos

I have done better than sending an email to the administrator of dslreports.com. I have opened a public thread in their security forum (the same forum in which the post to which you object was made). In this new thread I have attempted to explain your objections, and to give you the chance to publicly explain your position in your own words. I strongly suggest that you take advantage of that opportunity. The URL for that thread is http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,18208144

Is it really worth the trouble to possibly go to court for something as silly as requesting from the administrators or moderators at DSLreports to remove that post, or the thread altogether?
