I am getting virus warnings galore on it. He must have a lot of tracking cookies set up.
I thought I saw a post today that was from that site but when I clicked on it, it was already pulled. I bet that’s what triggered this. He can’t play with the adults so he starts throwing his toys out of the sandbox.

Who is martin? What blog does he run?

Oh do I know these folks at SCWXA. Know him almost personally. He REALLY stepped in it this time. No holds barred PLEASE Jim. He needs a taste of something bitter.
To: Jim Robinson
Based on all these posts this guy almost sounds like he *wants* to get caught at something.
I guess you could call the FBI and give him his wish...

7. Have a nice day,...
Always a thoughtful thing to wish someone you're trying to extort money from. "Hey, we can still be friends during and after this right?"
...expect your vendors to pull out soon...
What vendors? This person knows your operation frontwards and backwards Jim. I'd be worried...
...and your donations frozen.
Approaching half the donations for this quarter are in. They're coming in at a normal pace.
I'm thnking the folks who donate here are adults, know the value of the forum and would be happy to have the service at twice the price.
Be careful Jim, if this drunken fool falls of their chair while insulting, threating and extorting you and hurts themself, you'll be reponsible for that too.
I hope you suggested they dial in to their local mental health hot-line, before they hurt themselves. After all, what's a cause really worth if there isn't seething frothing opposition other there threatening to do it in? We need this person for self esteme if nothing else.
I guess you're doing your job Jim. Well, I know you are. Take care.

"1. I've determined the need for all that money a month is invalid. I run a major website, and do not need that much." JIM!!!!!!
It's really zerO, speaking through one of his *czars*!!
"2. You seem to be running the show, not a major building with staff."
Couldn't fool'em, why'd ya try Misterrr Beeeeeg. LOL!!!!
"3. Donations like this should be going elsewhere, needed, not into YOUR pockets."
He's right there, should be into miiiiine. Yessssss!!
"4. I am having a press release written on FR, urging citizens to stop wasting their money on you, and to donate for a better cause, elsewhere."
OK now this is gettin' scary. :o)
"5. I will not stop, unless the price is right. Yes, this is a bribe, because I will not screw you over had you not screwed me over. But it can change with swift talks."
Hmmmmm, in America that sounds an awful lot like attempted extortion. Of course I only slept in a Holiday Express, but, just sayin'. LOL!!
"6. You are not a true AMERICA LOVER."
Yea, well listen pal.
We'd love to see your Green Card, too. LOL!!

No one tells you how much you deserve to earn. That is your decision. Damn skippy. I see ankle biters complaining about donations and freepathons often (even get some freepmails from them), however what they don't realize is that we all are freely giving. Value is what the market determines and the members here continue to find the value in the site enough to continue to support it. They are just jealous. If they could get the followings and donations, they would do it in a heart beat, but instead, the only value their members contribute is whining.

7. Have a nice day, expect your vendors to pull out soon and your donations frozen. Kevin Martin SCWXA.org Southern California Weather Authority.
From their website:
Kevin Martin - SCWXA Meteorologist In Charge / Owner / - Deals with issuing official watches, warnings, advisories, or statements in the Southern California area, and updating the meteorological forecast discussion for the entire region. Martin is the authority of the Thunderstorm Prediction Center (TPC) on the website and issues thunderstorm outlooks with 2-day forecasts. These forecasts are relayed from the SCWXA forecasters in convective outlooks.
Looks like Kevin is mad because the account
CVenable was banned/suspended after joining just last week, and a number of SCWXA threads he posted have been pulled.

Save the email, print it out including all header lines, hand the thing over to the police. Extortion is a crime, they ought to prosecute it without your doing much of anything, I guess (not being a lawyer).
