Some meatball decided that sending 1 message to a newsgroup announcing
our website is spam.

You've already sent two. One under the heading "Looking for a cruise?",
and one under the heading "New Yachting site". These were posted at
9:29 and 9:32 AM respectively. Your "OK this is ridiculous..." message
was posted at 1:48 PM.

One message to 3 relevant newsgroups posted manually one time does NOT
constitute spam.

Spam is in the eye of the beholder.

I have a right to responsible and rationally use this
newsgroup just as well as everyone else.

Yes, but not for commercial purposes. Check the newsgroup charter.
rec.boats.marketplace is for commercial posts.

I do NOT rapid fire ads to a
bunch of groups ever. I do NOT cross post. I do not send ads out on a
regular basis.

Thank goodness for your small favors.

This thing with people
witchhunting people as spammers when they are NOT has to stop. I
followed the CORRECT procedure posting relevant information to a proper
group.

Once again, spam is in the eye of the beholder. Larry called it spam, and
I agree.

If he cannot prove his allegations of spam maybe he should
contain his libelous statements before someone in a legal department
somewhere gets angry and takes action.

Sounds like a threat.

Guys I meant NO offense I only
wanted to get a LITTLE word out to people who love boats as much as we
do. Thank you.

The typical way to respond when you have offended people is to apologize.
Not threaten legal action. I agree with Larry.

And I also find your threatening him on a public forum offensive. And chilling.
What makes you think that people would like to do business with people like you?
Geez. Someone calls your post spam, and you threaten legal action. Get a grip.
I wonder what happens when one of your business deals gets into problems. Is this
really the public image the owners of Yachting Royale International want to project?

Do you realize what a public black eye you are giving your company? If you aren't
an owner in the company, I'd expect to be hearing from them before too long because
if I owned Yachting Royale and read your posts here I'd be livid.

Is it possible that you work for a competitor and are just trying to make them look
bad??
