So I was recently kindly advised not to let a particular member get me too worked up, but while the advice was 100% genuine and well-intentioned, unfortunately it was made while being unaware of several facts that remain behind the scenes and/or deleted.
In November a member created a group private message that included dozens of NamePros and domain industry leaders, in an attempt to slander and belittle me with statements such as: "one of the biggest A holes I've run across in my life"
It seems the only action taken was some private message limitations .. however in the weeks that followed there has been no follow up on the 4 important points I mentioned in the group private message in question:
While I'm curious as to why the member continues to be here despite saying his "last words" back in November .. but I'm more curious as to why no significant action has since been taken to ensure the points I outlined above were addressed?
Points 2, 3 and 4 are points that should be of concern to the entire community. However I specifically would like to know what was done with regards to point #1 as the member in question used the NamePros platform to call me an A-Hole to a significant number of industry leaders .. and much more importantly to falsely accuse me of slander and thus actually slander me while doing so!
I understand that sometimes things are done behind the scenes, and that some action might have been taken. But from the community side it appears as if very little of significance has been done. So I invite @NamePros to let us know, and to let me know specifically with regards to point #1 above.
Thanks ...

I don't particularly care to a point of him continuously being rude and throwing insults at me.
However:
1- The false accusation of defamation of character is a bit much and in itself defamation of character on me.
2- His continued promoting of his personal business development plans in domain focused forums needs to be addressed.
3- His complete lack of respect for the entire community, NamePros and the very concept of public forums and free speech by claiming he doesn't read what others have to say in a debate he himself participates in, and sometimes even started, also needs to be addressed as it is extremely unprofessional behaviour.
4- He needs to respect the fact that just because people don't agree with him, that it isn't always some sort of conspiracy or personal vendetta against him. In fact, if you go back and look at all the discussions and debates and the way he has treated myself, others and the community in general, it is quite clearly he who is consistently lashing out at me.
@ThatNameGuy .. I invite you to take a step back and actually read everything I've said to you over the last couple of years .. then go back and do the same with everything you've said to me. Please also include our personal conversations and all your since deleted posts (which I'm fairly sure you kept on record). In the beginning I even took my own personal time to help you and give my personal advice and help you in private. Yet at some point along the way something snapped in you and you blanketed me into some conspiracy group intent on .. confronting you?
Seriously .. I hope one of your business ideas eventually pans out .. but you need to respect the fact that this is a domain focused community (even more specifically the forums that contain the word "domain") and it is both wrong and dangerous to assume automatic value to random domain names based on your associated business concepts. More importantly, that when people challenge the quality of your domains, that it is not necessarily a challenge against your business idea nor you personally.
