A classic example of cybersmearing.

Cybersmearing in action

Name calling, false allegations dreamed up out of thin air or statements taken out of context and twisted to say whatever the clown thinks will be funny or damaging, stealing of trade names for the purpose of smearing and defamation of another, any low down trick that can be used is the hallmark of the lunatic who has nothing better to do with his time than to smear, make fun of or harass another. But one way to judge whether or not to believe the cybersmear is to see how much personal character the poster has. What has he himself done? How pristine is his conduct that would keep his own actions above reproach and therefore believeable? Let's take a look at the present clown. Cartman falsely claims he don't own the blog he keeps putting up links to. He claims he only refers to it as being his source of authority. So then if that be true what we need to do is to look at his source of authority to see what it's character might be. One place to look might very well be the terms and conditions his reference blogger agreed to when he signed up for his blog. Here is an exerpt from the blogger terms of service.


:

Member agrees: (1) to comply with US law regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States through the Service; (2) not to use the Service for illegal purposes; (3) not to interfere or disrupt networks connected to the Service; and (4) to comply with all regulations, policies and procedures of networks connected to the Service. The Service makes use of the Internet to send and receive certain messages; therefore, Member's conduct is subject to Internet regulations, policies and procedures. Member will not use the Service for chain letters, junk mail, spamming or any use of distribution lists to any person who has not given specific permission to be included in such a process. Member agrees not to transmit through the Service any unlawful, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, or harmful material of any kind or nature. Member further agrees not to transmit any material that encourages conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation. Attempts to gain unauthorized access to other computer systems are prohibited. Member shall not interfere with another Member's use and enjoyment of the Service or another entity's use and enjoyment of similar services. Pyra may, at its sole discretion, immediately terminate Service should Member's conduct fail to conform with these terms and conditions of the BTS.

So, the evidence is more than sufficient to prove that the blogger that Cartman praises is in flagrant violation of the blogger terms of service agreement he agreed to when signing up for his blog. Obviously then Cartman condones that kind of behaviour.

He keeps hollering about my services or what I sell but I have not attempted to sell anybody anything except the fact that I believe that debt collectors are scumbags who routinely abuse people and that much more restrictive and punitive laws should be passed to bring them under much heavier restrictions and sanctions for abusive debt collection practices.

Cartman cannot argue that debt collectors do not routinely break the laws as a normal business practice because far too many people know better. Since he cannot beat the argument that I make he turns to personal slams to do that which he cannot otherwise do. By turning to such personal slams as he has he simply proves my contention that debt collectors are scumbags.

If he wants to bring in personal slams then he needs to make sure that his own actions are above reproach.

Cartman, your ideas of "classic hovel" aren't any better than your ideas of personal integrity.
One simply cannot put large numbers of computers and their peripheral equipment such as monitors, routers, hubs, switches, printers, scanners, UPS systems, security monitors and cameras and more into a pre-existing older building without having wires and cables running all over the place unless you completely and totally remodel the premises.

The topic of conversation here is not me or what I do but rather scumbag debt collectors and their illegal and abusive debt collection practices. Why is it that you cannot or will not stay on topic? Nobody cares about all the things you keep dragging up. Nobody cares what I do or do not sell. Nobody cares what I look like nor what my office looks like. None of that has any bearing on the topic at hand which is illegal and abusive debt collection practices by scumbag debt collectors and what should be done to protect consumers from their abuses.

Anything else is off the wall and out to lunch, totally and completely irrelevant.
