Dear M.
Sure, it's the right of the hostess, M, to be as unfair as you wish, to use your "private property" as you wish. But, if you are truly after the truth, why not ask the School directly rather than hiding under the leaves.
As someone indicated before, it's pretty hard to survive the law suits that would be forthcoming if the endorsements at www.lindachristas.org were phony.
Try it, M, Just go ahead and choose any celebrity you wish. Then post his or her picture on your site without permission, and see what happens. It won't be pretty. (Barbra Streisand sued a guy for 15 million for just putting a photo of her home on the net.
If there is anything remaining of integrity here, I am going to post the Linda Christas references. Let's see if they stay up. They should, if you are interested in fairness, M.
Linda Christas Substanta (References)
(Government): State of California master teaching credential number 30568 - Max Rafferty - Superintendent -1969.
(Consumer): BBB California - Rating justifies the continued faith our parents and students have in the School and its mission.
(Trade): Curious Parents Magazine, Los Cerritos News, The Argus Newspapers, WMAL Radio (New York), WATN Radio (Washington D.C.), Public Broadcasting System: WNPE - WNPI. Everything Christian Magazine (Linda Christas is not affiliated with any specific organized religion);Public Television, Channel 5 (Connecticut)
(Personal): Chairs and Advisory Committee reputations for integrity and sound judgment. These individuals donate their time without compensation, including Mr. Boone and Mr. Zimbalist. All have satisfied themselves regarding the integrity and mission of Linda Christas www.lindachristas.org.
This is MaaMaw.
I am not going to allow this site to be turned into a billboard for Linda Christas. It may be the most wonderful thing since God invented chocolate, but there are certain red flags that should be checked out thoroughly.
I don't know this person from Adam, but he claims to have personal knowledge and shares it
Again, I strongly recommend you do your own investigation and hang onto your money until you're satisfied that you have all the proof you need. Never jump into *anything* based only on references.
Luv, MaaMaw

| PLEASE READ THIS LEGAL NOTICE CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU FILE A LAWSUIT OR EVEN WASTE TIME THINKING ABOUT IT. It has been done before, but never successfully. In fact, the last dodobird who tried it ended up being ordered to pay more than $77,000 in attorney fees ($65,000+ to my attorneys and $12,000+ to my co-defendant's legal advisor).
If your attorney is worth his salt, he's going to tell you that the expense of filing a lawsuit you can't win is a whole lot worse than any "damages" resulting from messages posted on this insignificant little chunk of cyberspace. NEWS FLASH: I didn't just climb down off that ol' turnip truck yesterday. I'm well aware that expressing a negative opinion, relating one's personal experience, and restating provable facts are all legal in this country and do not constitute libel, slander, or defamation -- so you don't want to play games with me, and you sure don't want to start something you aren't prepared to finish. I don't take threats lightly, and I don't accept bribes (or did you call it a "mutually-beneficial arrangement"?). I'll turn you in faster than you can yell, "ARREST ME, I'M SCUM!!" Do yourself a favor and turn your legal team loose in greener pastures. Although we may, from time to time, monitor or review discussions, postings and the like on the Friends In Business (Scams 101) Message Board, we are under no obligation to do so. We are not responsible or liable for any claim arising from the content of any such discussions or postings or for any error, defamation, libel, slander, omission, falsehood, obscenity, pornography, profanity, danger, or inaccuracy contained in any information contained within such locations on the Site. You are prohibited from posting or transmitting any unlawful, threatening, libelous, defamatory, obscene, scandalous, inflammatory, pornographic, or profane materials or any material that could constitute or encourage conduct that would be considered a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any law. You are likewise prohibited from posting any false claims against any company or individual. We will fully cooperate with any law enforcement authorities or court order requesting or directing us to disclose the identity of anyone posting any such information or materials.

If you cannot accept or agree with the terms of service for this website and discussion board, you are advised not to post on this board. In closing, I would like to remind you once again that it is still legal, in this great country of ours, to express a PERSONAL OPINION, as long as it is presented as opinion and not as fact. And finally, all you scammers out there will do well to remember that TRUTH IS AN ABSOLUTE DEFENSE against charges of libel, defamation, and slander... so if you're operating just a hop, skip, and jump ahead of the law, you might want to think twice before doing anything stupid... (AND SHAME ON YOU!!). |
