As some of you may know, my local rep from PPP called me two night ago. I lost signal & the call was dropped just as we were getting to the meat of things. He called back & left a message that all but accused me of hanging up on him.
Then, yesterday afternoon I get an email from Virgil himself with a LONG letter attachment. This basically accused me of slandar & said that the ASGV was made up of over 700 vets & that the registration of the ASGV under PPP was a frodulent registration by one of the 'zealots' on the forum. He also made sure that I realized that he's not trying to call me a bad person just that my slanderous post is illegal.
I calmly wrote a reply email telling him that the post was a review based of my personal experiences with his company, which is a common practice among customers of numerous comapnies & therefore not slandar. And that I never actually accused PPP myself of being a bill breeder/broker & fraudulent. Just that they have been accused by others. I even mentioned in the post that I had yet to see conclusive proof (that would hold up in court). I also layed out the red flags that made me suspicious that I personally experienced with his company.
Then, I closed with 2 statements: 1) I would love to continue this discussion peacefully & intellegently with him, 2) if he convinces me that the claims of their fraudulence are false that I would write an appology post explaining my change of heart, & 3) that I was insulted that both he & my local rep accused me of rudely hanging up mid sentence the night previous.
Hm, now waiting on a reply or counter action from him/PPP. I would prefer this to be taken care of peacefully & without the need for a court. But if they truly want to fight it & attempt to sink their teath into me, can I count on the help of this community?
Alone we're easy prey. Together, however, is another story. If they want to make this into a fight, I'll give them a fight. But I cannot win alone. I just don't have the resources. Will I be able to create damage? Yes, but not enough.
