Response to NationMaster's Partial Capitulation
This is my direct reply to Steinmetz's latest dishonesty. My public response is also available. This email was timestamped Nov 10, 2005 8:07 AM.
John,
Of course. Plan on it being up.
Your note is at points factually questionable, and will be demonstrated to be so, but as Mark noted NationMaster Watch was established to do"nothing but follow the permutations of Nationmaster's highly unusual customer relations policy." This certainly falls into that category.
As I hope you know by now, I try to be polite and professional. Certainly when I referred to your "good faith" actions earlier, that was an example of this: I was giving you the benefit of the doubt.
I am thankful NationMaster decided to do the honest thing here. However, as you will note I had basically "given up" on gaining a refund some time ago. There were three posts about NationMaster's poor service, none recent.
What worries me much more are your unethical legal threats. You have yet to apologize for calling a negative review defamatory. Worse, you've yet to retract your statement that "If you do not take down the offending content by Monday, it's over to our lawyers."
Given NationMaster's history of this sort of thing (see Pat's comment at http://simonworld.mu.nu/archives/131220.php, and a brief discussion of NationMaster's possible misuse of Wikipedia material at
http://cobuyitaphobia.blogspirit.com/archive/2005/11/09/n...),
I think it would be best if NationMaster renounced and retracted its earlier threats.
Daniel

I recently had a person come into my office who had tried numerous things to quit smoking and had failed every time. When I spoke with her about her past experiences, she told me about how horrible and “nervous” she felt while on Zyban / Wellbutrin which is something that many clients tell me.
In examining the reasons why she had not been able to stop smoking, I got an answer that seems strange when you think about it logically, but yet is a very common answer… fear of “losing my best friend”. How can something be your “best friend” when by your own report, you say you hate the sell, inconvenience and cost? She hated being controlled by cigarettes, but yet called them her “best friend”.
The answer surfaced very quickly once I made contact with the “inner smoker” and followed the chain of feelings to determine the “core feeling” was that the “inner smoker” was trying to get by smoking. It was about “love”. At the unconscious level, smoking was “love”. Any wonder it was hard to quit… love is a very basic human need.
