Hello,
Your company presently advertises on a website known as
http://www.totallydelco.com, apparently owned by the Wards.
The owner(s) of this website have allowed harassing material
to appear on their website, which is sponsored by you. You,
therefore, as an advertiser, could be construed as condoning
this.
They did this in response to my husband, who at one time ran
some offensive and controversial websites. He no longer
does this, and should not be punished or harassed. In no
event should you as advertisers be involved, but you now are.
The site's host, was served with a DMCA complaint
due to copyrighted material appearing. In respnose, the Wards
have promised that yet more material, which will likely violate
the Terms Of Service, and potentially civil laws pertaining to
harassment, will appear.
Due to all of this, I will be organizing a boycott of all advertisers
of this site who remain on the website after Friday of this week.
This will include your names being submitted to local and national
media, as well as informational fliers being distributed in the area.
This could potentially have a negative impact on your business.
Sponsoring a website such as this just isn't worth the potential
negative
publicity surrounding this boycott, which is an unfortunate but
unavoidable reaction, designed to protect our reputation.
You don't have to agree wtih my husband's previous actions to
understand
that this website is unprofessional, and could potentially be bad
business.
I urge you to not fund harassment and civil (copyright) infractions.
I urge you to immediately cease to line these peoples' pockets.
Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me:
