[DABEAR]

We're still working on getting the sites up...just completed another last night...will beging transferring some of the smaller ones today:

http://www.silverstatenews.com
http://www.ilips.net
http://www.waterworkscase.com
http://www.airlinersairlinersairliners.net
http://www.centennialstatenews.com
http://www.aviationandmarineusa.com

We're still in design and layout for the expansion, the look of all the sites is being changed, so for the moment, we're just putting galleries up here and there and not interviews or major stories.

We had just begun an expansion when they pulled their nonsense of shutting me down. We had attempted to pay them on time but had a glitch at the bank. The funds were there and card's address was good, and we have the paperwork to back that up. We requested a 48 hour extension of time regarding the shut off, and were quite calm about it despite assumptions made on this board ~ assumptions that I firmly believe were fed to readers here by the Corporate types at DreamHost, trying to keep themselves "clean."

The girl answering indicated there was nothing she could do. One of her fellow employees confirmed my suspicions that she had lied about that fact ~ I have that in writing ~ I put in a second request for information and it went unresponded to. They shut down my sites and were imparted the knowledge I would take legal action. They then terminated service though the promised payment was made 48 hours later, or within the time frame specified. All this occurred over the New Year's weekend when the banks were closed and I could not address the problem...they dealt me dirty, so now they're going to answer for it. I have thousands of hours of work into these websites...just the few mentioned above...so, when someone thinks they can just callously shut someone down who has communicated with them and has a track record of getting payments made, no matter how late, I've got a major problem with that. I will be challenging their actions in Court and within the Administrative Law realm beforehand.

Apologies for the delay in responding to this one and subsequent messages...had to get some rest.

Woke up to find the "reply" button missing from my panel. Was using a back up computer to give this one a rest...when this one came back on...the "reply" button had returned. A glitch with the other computer.

Your site's interesting, I gotta tell you that. The sound on your broadcast excellent here in Colorado. Crystal clear. Just FYI so that you know your reach.

And remember, these are only a handful of the sites I have. More willl be coming up online, but a partial listing is at http://www.ilips.net and as we transfer, you'll see the site or its home page when you click on the link. All name servers are changed to HostMonster at this time.

As for your other comments and snide remarks, I will address them in kind. When someone is professional with me, you can see by this e-mail how I can be. Someone throws out slander that they cannot support, or libel, my responses are tweaked for every word needed in response.

I won't have the time today to respond to every post here, but they are all saved and will get responded to over time.

I particularly love the Netizen one that appeared overnight. Brand new to DreamHost and no background profile. Funny that someone accused me of using more than one I.D. A review of the messages shows not one in support, which is one of the main things I wanted to investigate...

...how this system is used to chase others off and prevent people from posting dislikes, without DreamHost so much as having to raise a Corporate hand in the light of day. What they do behind the scenes I'm sure will be very interesting.

Had I been using a second I.D., which I have seen done before and I find repugnant, you would think I'd have more messages in support.

Those are dishonest games that I don't play.

First of all, thanks for the kind comments about our show, The Paracast. It's heard worldwide online, and carried at a terrestrial station in Las Vegas, with more to come.

As to the sites you listed, I see they were registered elsewhere and hosted at HostMonster as of January 4th. So call me confused (and feel free to join the club , but I thought your sites were down because DreamHost shut off your account, but these sites work fine, as does the WHOIS information I checked.

Peace,
Gene

"Yeah, if they have any business sense at all, and care at all about getting value from the premiums they have paid for their insurance, they won't put you in touch with their attorneys (on their nickel)."

First off, I appreciate your response. Though in dissent, it was straightforward, thoughtful and uncruel.

Responding to the above, I can only say that any company, trying to save a nickel, might lose far more if they try to handle the matter without consulting with their Attorneys. That's what the Attorneys are paid for and it's often contracted over time. Thus, the moment someone indicates Lawsuit, the referral should go immediately to the Attorneys. In my case, having been lied to repeatedly by DreamHost personnel, and having two of their people try to play Attorney, and with the number of admissions that I received from DreamHost as to their misconduct, I didn't want to speak with their peoople anymore; I didn't want to speak with them anymore from the start.

As for the remainder of your reply, all that is good except specifically in California, where I am required by Law to "impart" the knowledge of the legal action I will take to give a Corporation the opportunity to change their minds before doing wrong, or before continuing doing that which is wrong. They were "positioned" to avoid lawsuit by merely reconsidering their position and considering both sides of the issue.

So that approach of yours would be great (fantastic, even...), but not all States have continuity in the Law. And as they (DreamHost) are in California, I am required to impart the knowledge of legal action. After they threatened me, then shut down my websites, then threatened me again, well, I think my anger is obvious and I'm moving toward Administrative Law avenues first for resolution, which I do not think will occur, then on to Court.

Again, I thank you for your thoughtful replies and dissent with my position. I've seen others here by you beyond this one and all are appreciated.

And truly, I'm not here to troll. I posted my dislikes, and the trolls here came out and I won't "non-respond." All the trolls here can do is "speculate and assume," and since the entire case will not be posted here, only the "small picture," that's about all they can do is try and twist words and misinform others.

And with there being more information and two sides to every story, their words become meaningless to me because they'll never have all the story, and without all the facts, cannot come up with the truth on speculation or assumption.

"First of all, thanks for the kind comments about our show, The Paracast. It's heard worldwide online, and carried at a terrestrial station in Las Vegas, with more to come."

First of all, you're very welcome and entitled. You'll laugh, but I've tuned into your show once before and long before I signed up here at DreamHost. The UFO side of the paranormal has been a fascination with my family since before Project Bluebook (my Uncle was a Science Fiction Writer...I'll be hard pressed to find his stories since he passed on over a decade ago), and my family members and members of another family observed a UFO, but unfortunately, in the Nellis AFB range and it might have been a US Air Force black project, only the description given was rather fascinating. By the description I received, definitely a saucer shape, well lit and I'll have to get back to you on the sound it made, if any. Disappeared quite fast. Also, though not a witness to this event (I was in Europe with the Army), I was also regaled in the 1977 time frame with stories of the UFO that would visit the Bridgeport, California, area at that same time; and also by my friends who used to watch UFOs darting above Lake Tahoe, also during the same time frame. I'm skeptical on the latter because they were "smoking" while lying on their backs, in an illegal Marijuana field...but, what the hey.

As to the sites you listed, I see they were registered elsewhere and hosted at HostMonster as of January 4th.

Registered at All Domains and hosted at HostMonster effective January 4, 2007, since following the threats from DreamHost, I went looking for a new webhost and made DNS changes immediately. Prior to January 4, 2007, I was with DreamHost since November, 2005.

So call me confused (and feel free to join the club ,

Both my grandmother, and my mother and myself have since adopted the statement: "I'm so happy it's as if I were in my right mind," so we counter-offer with a free membership to the Senior Senility Society...the acronym for which is "$$$," and not because we're mercenary, but because we can't remember what the letter "S" looks like half the time!

but I thought your sites were down because DreamHost shut off your account, but these sites work fine, as does the WHOIS information I checked.

NO! (Emphasis, not screaming...) DreamHost terminated my account after I imparted the knowledge to them that I planned legal action because of threats, lies, breach of contract, etc. The account is to be terminated on January 31, 2007, and that termination came with a threat that followed. They were paid in full and in advance on a contested matter at the time they proceeded with termination and attacked me with additional lies.

They said I had taken on a "threatening tone" myself, despite the fact I'm required by California Law, where these pending actions may take place, to impart the knowledge of the actions I will take so that those in the wrong have the opportunity to change their procedures and avoid the litigation. That also saves the Court from the burden of an additional case if matters can be worked out and brought to closure outside of Court. There's reasonable, rational, logic to such Law.

They (Dreamhost) are not Attorneys so it does not surprise me they would bungle and mishandle the matter. They should have just sent me straight over to Attorneys, where this could have been worked out reasonably without any further animous.

All these sites have been transferred and come up online since Janaury 7, 2007, with Silver State News completing a five-day transfer process (using DSL, showing how large that site alone, really is...) as of "some time past midnight" overnight.

I will now be moving today to transfer a multitude of smaller websites from my computer (I keep back ups in case any glitch permanently knocks out a server, whether it be "Lightning" or a "Lightning Fast Getaway" with the money) and move a few more large ones in hopes of getting the transfer completed by January 31, 2007. Some are just home pages at the moment, because I've just acquired them. I purchased four new sites going into HostMonster as part of the planned expansion.

The main thing is, I have thousands of hours of my life invested in these websites, and the way they were shut down, i.e., "Spitefully," defies description. And angers me to no end, but not like the lying. I may be late with my payments, but I don't quit and a result of the latter, I have a track record of getting payments made that others (Quitters) do not share. I make it a point to communicate when there's a problem, which creditors always request of debtors ~ except for these folks ~ and I did so on the night of December 31, 2006, when all the banks were closed, to request a 48 hour delay on shut off.

DreamHost has admitted they could have provided and also admitted that I was lied to about that fact (thus furthering my already extreme anger) ~ so I was shut off and the problem with making the payment was at the bank, not in my card, and an ample supply of funds were sitting in the account.

All I asked for was 48 hours to check with the bank when it opened as to what the problem was that the charge would not go through. I was still within DreamHost's grace period at the time, and further, the debt was contested after DreamHost unlawfully attempted to remove funds from my account in November, and I have a record of that from the bank while it was going on, and further, received the November payment that they claim, they didn't, and I have a bank records that says otherwise.

So, I've got a major issue with the way they do business and the "Late Payment" issue has some additional information in my favor that these people aren't even aware of. They'll have to wait to Discovery to find that out. But they have compromised themselves severely, and once they resorted to lying, they should have just referred me to Attorneys beforehand. I've made multiple requests. I will not communicate with liars in business. It's Attorneys at that point.

Peace,
Gene

"DABEAR already become a DH Familiar

Wouldn't that be a riot!?

Instead of this "Dreamling," "DH-PooBah," and all the other nonsensical names they come up with for "paying adults," why don't they just refer to the person either by name, business or the person's choice of name?

Just the same, if I stay a "DH Enthusiast" for the remainder of the month, when they terminate me, they would be guilty of terminating one of their own "Enthusiasts!" LOL!!!

Good post and thanks...that's funny. I don't always notice stuff like that...

[genesteinberg]

DABEAR, let's take this private, OK? Use the email address on The Paracast's come home page to reach me and we'll pursue this further.

And tell me about your uncle. I write science fiction too; my son is my co-author.

As to DreamHost, let it be, man. It's just a hosting service.

Peace,
Gene

I'm pretty much through with posting on the board here. I've said my peace, got my dislikes out, and everyone I think has had a fair swing at me. Anyone who wants to continue this can also go private, because I saw one or two posts that haven't gotten to yet. I'm at:

bearzbearzbearz@yahoo.com

I don't want to cheat any of you on arguments, so the e-mail is up there for you to use if you have more to say, but we had a pretty good thread here regardless of animousity. Lots of participation...DreamHost can complain at/about me and "dislike" my posts, but they can't complain about the support others gave them here.

I only wish DreamHost gave ALL it's customers the support these others have obviously gotten and no matter the animousity, and I think all of you should be proud of standing up for those whom you believe in and think are right, as well as the things that you believe in ~ right or wrong.

And I reserve the right of/to dissent and all of you should do the same. It has been a challenge...but that is what the First Amendment is about and ending censorship on the net.

Good luck and best wishes to all of you, regardless of my dislike of DreamHost.

As for "Netizen," I know whom you are and I know that you are NOT a vector of DreamHost. I'll be seeing you and your master soon...along with your friends...frauds and liars that all of you are! <G> Nice try, though, but I'm open book and I ain't afraid of your kind either!

Your stories will be posted shortly...but at my websites! <G> As far as I know or care, I'm out of here and of my own volition!

Back to work...

Gene...I didn't see your e-mail at your website when I visited...I'll give it a second look, but if I don't find it, you have mine and it's always posted at my websites anyhow, those that are online now and those that have been updated.

BTW, my Uncle was Leonard Marlow. He owned Marlow Engineering, in North Hollywood, California, and was situated at the west end of Burbank Airport (now Bob Hope International) across the Southern Pacific RR tracks. Jim & Berni Stevenson, the Air Race pilots, owned the building he was in. His Sci-Fi work was done in the late 40s. Unknown if it was ever published in his name, but the story is the work was plagarized at the time and published under the name of another. He was a brilliant man with an eye into the future. I'm hoping we can find some of those stories for you.

We can talk more, later. Remind me to tell you about my friend and "The Three Sisters," a little paranormal story that you should here, but she tells it so well you should have direct contact. Lots of fun, these sidebars in life...

[genesteinberg]

Just a public remark.

I know most people visiting these message boards probably hate DABEAR. But I got a real nice letter from him privately. He may be quite outspoken, and most of you disagree with him, but he's fundamentally a rock solid dude. You might even like him if you set the DreamHost issues aside.

I think everyone whose been online long enough has an ISP and/or hosting service war story to tell. I've a few (I even worked for AOL once), but don't get me started.

Peace,
Gene

Has DAB EAR gone yet, so we can talk about him? I spoke to George III on the phone last night and he wants to know who this Mel Gibson person is.
