What smear? I didn't like his/your rather brusque and nasty responses. His/your employer should know that he's/ you're bad for business.

The telephone number on the website seems not to be a working number. (Operant word: SEEMS. Connections aren't always reliable in China). I got no response from the email address that he/you sent me.

He/you went on another forum, published PARTS of our exchange and put a spin on the story.

I published our email exchanges here as a warning to others.

I got an email back from the guy telling me that "our facility contacted the Taian Public Security Bureau (the local police authority) regarding your, in China, criminal acts by illegally posting private e-mail communications with our facility at the following website: www.eslteachersboard.com...

"...Also, the three different user names that are being traced back to the same IP Address, I'm sure. I've not been told of this result as of yet.. Multiple acts of libel significantly increase criminal penalties. And, believe me, my two immediate supervisors threw a fit with pressing for criminal charges..."

That said, I ask: Who in his right mind would want to work for someone like that?

Don't like impudence.Not into drama. Time to move on.
