Wim,
You have been clandestinely censoring my postings to the Yahoo microhydro group since Dec.12, 2005.
Chiefly, you have prevented me from replying to accusations, insults, and unsupported intellectual ownership claims. You have also published messages that you knew to be untrue or inaccurate at the time.
At the same time you have allowed the Yahoo microhydro site to be used to consistently push the product of Joseph Hartvigsen, even publishing false or unfounded claims regarding the superiority of his product.
You have refused to reply to questions about these practices in regard to your own personal knowledge of the truth of claims made for the superiority of Hartvigsen´s product.
You are now censoring a posting I made discussing increased efficiency of refrigeration powered by very small scale microhydro, and have refused to explain why.
For five years you have allowed Joseph hartvigsen to make repeated charges that my Watermotor turbines are "illegal", and prevented me from replying.
As you can see in a message to me posted on watermotorstory.blogspot.com, Hartvigsen flatly denies that I have a right to ask for proof of these accusations, nor does he need to support them.
This is a view with which you apparently concur.
I could go on to cite many example of grossly unfair and deceptive behavior on your part which violates common decency and legal business practices.
In fact, for five years you have been guilty of knowingly allowing Joseph Hartvigsen to use your site to defraud the entire microhydro community with false ownership of the Swedish turgo design.
You have gone so far as to deceive the membership into believing I am being allowed to reply to his accusations, while privately telling me I would not be allowed to reply.
In other word, you have seriously and consistently abused your position as list owner of the microhydro group to defraud the membership and to promote the advantage of a particular individual, Joseph Hartvigsen, by the use of untruth and deception.
I have no idea what justification you have to offer for this corrupt and illegal behavior, since you arrogantly refuse to make any explanation.
The worldwide microhhydro community which has been the victem of your deception should become aware of how you have taken advantage of the trust you have assumed in order to help a con man defraud them.
If you have any explanation for your behavior or care to cite any Yahoo group regulations that you believe justify your activities, please do so.
