Complaint Review: (((REDACTED BY EDITOR DUE TO ABUSE OF WEBSITE))) - Nationwide

MESSAGE FROM THE EDITOR:

Ripoff Report is a forum for people to post true complaints that can help other people by informing them about a problem.  It is also a good forum for a business to show the world how it responds to customer complaints.  Ripoff Report is not a forum for people to post false complaints, or personal attacks. And, Ripoff Report is not a place for people to commit extortion.

Ripoff Report has dedicated enormous time and resources to protecting free speech.  Complaints can make businesses people angry.  Complaints that expose scams and frauds make scamming fraudsters very, very angry.  Angry people can put pressure on authors to recant, to take it back, to take it down.  Ripoff Report protects free speech in several ways, including not ever taking down reports so that there is no use to pressure an author about it and every reason to show the world how to resolve a complaint with courtesy and respect.  Ripoff Report also fights lawsuits against taking down reports, and dozens and dozens of times Ripoff Report has defeated lawsuits that attempt to suppress free speech and force the takedown of reports.

Ripoff Report does not take down reports for money.  If there is a false report posted, there are many policies that allow the false statements to be rebutted, disproven, exposed as false, and at times even removed from the website. There is a program sponsored by Ripoff Report, designed to be much much easier and less expensive than a lawsuit, called VIP Arbitration.  It allows a challenge to a statement to prove that it is false, a defense by the author, and a decision by a neutral arbitrator based on the evidence.  False statements can be identified and refuted in this manner.  And, the law allows and encourages the Ripoff Report to use good judgment to show the results of the arbitration, and even to redact the contents that someone posted.

Ripoff Report is taking a stand against abuse of the website, and its carefully designed programs to protect free speech.  Some people abuse the website by using it for personal attacks, or using it as leverage to harm and extort other people.  One of those people is Crystal Cox.  Cox has a pattern of behavior that Ripoff Report finds offensive, harmful and disgusting.  Here is how the Ninth Circuit Court of appeals described this pattern of behavior in an official written opinion:

ABOUT THE RIPOFF REPORT BELOW

“ . . . Crystal Cox published blog posts on several websites that she created, accusing [her victim] of fraud, corruption, money-laundering, and other illegal activities in connection with the Summit bankruptcy. Cox apparently has a history of making similar allegations and seeking payoffs in exchange for retraction.”

That conduct is wrong. It is disgusting.  Ripoff Report is against that kind of thing.

Here is a link to an article on the Ripoff Report that is all about Crystal Cox, and what she does, and how some of it is protected as free speech by the laws of the United States.

Protected Free Speech

Well, the law has to protect some speech that is bad speech, in order to protect everyone’s right to free speech.  But, Ripoff Report has freedom of speech too.  And Ripoff Report chooses to exercise its right to free speech by NOT GIVING CRYSTAL COX A VOICE ON RIPOFF REPORT. That’s right.  We did some research and looks like Crystal Cox has used and abused Ripoff Report somewhere around 45 times.  And, Ripoff Report does not respect Crystal Cox or what she does, so she she can’t voice her opinions or post her allegations or say anything at all on Ripoff Report website. If we detect her trying to post things, we will not allow it to post. Ripoff Report believes she has abused the opportunity to post on the website and so she loses the opportunity.  What about the things she already posted? Well, we are going to redact the heck out of it so that it doesn’t hurt anyone, but the world can see just what kind of garbage it is.  And we are posting this statement for everyone to read.

What else?

Ripoff Report will repeat some interesting things written by others about Crystal Cox.  In the opinion of one very intelligent and wise author named Ken White who was speaking about the law (you can see the full article in the links above) “We protect the Nazis’ right to march at Skokie . . . We protect the right of Fred Phelps’ family to protest funerals even though the America of Phelps dreams is a theocratic hellhole . . . So it shouldn’t be any surprise that we protect the free speech rights of the disturbed and vengeful blogger Crystal Cox, even though she abuses the legal system in an effort to censor and retaliate against people for criticizing her. That’s how we roll.”

Mr. White documents several additional examples of reprehensible conduct by Crystal Cox, and his article is an excellent and interesting read about why it is important to protect free speech, even for people who do bad things.

It is also important to exercise free speech rights AGAINST people who do bad things like Cox does.  So, Ripoff Report is standing against Cox and the way she abuses people and the internet.

Feb. 6th, 2010 from (((REDACTED))) to Anti-Corruption Blogger Crystal Cox who has been reporting on the biggest technology theft in the world, iViewit Technology.

"Ms. Cox:

 I understand you have transmitted an email, which I have not received.  As I indicate below, continue your investigation, and if you come up with even one incidence where I have  caused harm to Iviewit shareholders in our quest to own the video and imaging world then we can begin a dialogue.  Until then, however, you have been put on notice to remove my name from your various blog sites, and I will expect you will govern your affairs accordingly, while you still have some affairs to govern, that is.

 Best regards,
