Sophie Gold and Michael Cantu both emailed the FPA. Michael's email was just a copy and paste of Sophie's using Micheal's address and signature, complete with this...
My name is Sophie Gold And I am the owner of Teach and Trade Ltd along with Michael Cantu.
The email proceeded to complain about some very offensive postings about Sophie and Michael. Those postings were on another website's page that contained anti-FPA postings. I'm not going to share the URL of that website and I will appreciate it if no one posts it here.
For reasons I can't understand, Sophie and Michael decided that the FPA is somehow responsible for anti-FPA threads in other places that go off topic. They both said this...
I have contacted my solicitors here in the UK to put together a slander and deformation of character case against this site and also the people who have posted these messages.
Oh joy. The FPA is going to be sued for something on some other guy's "I hate the FPA" page. I'm not sure how those postings could have
deformed Sophie's character. This is bad. It couldn't get any worse, could it?
Of course it could...
I am also contacting the police and lodging a complaint, as this site should not be used in this way.
Since I'm responsible for both forums and reviews content, I guess Sophie plans to have me thrown in jail. Since she's in the UK, I wonder if I could get her to pay for a plane ticket for me so I can turn myself in at Scotland Yard.
It looks like after threatening me with a lawsuit and police action, she decided to try to be nice...
I hope that we can work together to resolve this situation in a timely and efficient way
Sophie,
This can probably be resolved in a timely and efficient way. Let me tell you how to do this.
First, don't waste my time with threats and then try to offer an olive branch. A professional company that has a problem with something in the forums or reviews will write in and ask to discuss things. The FPA's policy is to never remove a single word while someone is holding a legal threat over the website.
Second, don't assume that every website that mentions the FPA is controlled by the FPA. Why would the FPA bother to host a special page that's mostly insults against the FPA? Do you need me to show you how to look up who owns a website? Even if it's anonymously registered, you can still get in touch with the site owners through the registrar and hosting company.
Going after the FPA for something on someone else's site makes no sense. Go after the website where the problem is.
If Sophie has any issues with anything in this thread, she can post her complaints here.
