They just broke every rule in the book in their rabid, hateful anti-competitive pursuit.
To DeWayne in SD's shame, he's actually bragging about it.
They let the ends justify the means - and that's never right. That's why this isn't about Damon Kruezer, who likes whom or who believes what DJ and KC say. It's about the most basic tenets of online behavior...and the law. If those claiming to represent the "truth" lie, deceive and misrepresent to achieve their goal, then what claim do they have to be "truth squadders" at all?
To focus on this issue, I quote from a very well written blog concerned with more guilty pleasures, whose author understands the issues and makes an excellent point:
"Mark Wilson claims to be a professional webmaster and owner of Great Atlantic Media Group. A company that hosts private and professional websites and offers a number of web related services to a base of community entrepreneurs and various business organizations.When any host-master accepts the responsibility of hosting your website - They also accept a certain level of expectancy by the website owner themselves that they will act in good faith and with moral fortitude in the managing of their business and also within their professional relationship itself.
Allowing Yves Mignon to publicly state that Geoff Harvard is personally responsible for Damon Kruezer's website still being online - suggesting that a personal relationship exists between the two based upon the unethical release and sharing of privileged information to others - is a disgrace and disservice to ALL web hosting companies on the web. It indicates that Mark Wilson has indeed shared private communications between multiple parties without their consent - to those people who "are out there" as Yves so dismissively likes to put it.It gives everyone who's livelihood on the web depends upon a good reputation of trust and ethical business practices a blackened eye and it soils not only Mark Wilson's reputation as an honest and reputable businessman - but it plants the seed of dishonesty in those of us who look toward these service providers for honest, ethical and fair business practices and relationships - that all are not ethical and trustworthy, so be aware - be very, very aware.
Of course if what Yves Mignon is currently claiming on Mark Wilson's website is indeed true - and now with DeWayne publicly confirming it talking about "The List" then that in itself speaks directly to the heart and very core of Mark Wilson's personal character, business ethics and business integrity..."
"If this is the manner in which Mark Wilson values and protects other peoples confidential and personal information - one can only shudder to think what he might do when it comes time for you to whip out one of your personal credit cards to pay for premium services at one of his websites. When you look at the behaviors of some of these so called truth squadders - their behaviors and ethics are no less loathsome and offensive than the one they claim as their very own adversary.
