Hi Jonathan, I find it quite amazing that you've decided to try to track down my wife, as opposed to picking up the phone and calling me - as I've asked you to many times. I can only assume that you're trying to cause trouble for my family, but regardless of that...I'll respond to all of your points in turn: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ *I'm genuinely sorry that I have to involve you in this but your husband is leaving me with no choice. Actually, since you tried to get a phoney DMCA request through, I haven't heard from you. I've tried to engage you on multiple occasions, but your refusal to speak to me leads me to the conclusion that you're too scared to face someone who actually has all the evidence and knows exactly what you've been up to. *Since this started in March I have called the Police multiple times to report Mr Daffern for the topics started on his website showing my families details, and now I have been made aware of another topic giving details of our friend’s child. Yes, and every time the Police have told you to back off because there has not actually been any crime committed and they've confirmed that we're in the clear. Not only that, but we've shown the Police the cast-iron evidence that we were pro-active in removing your personal details from the site before you even asked for it to be done. Just reporting something to the Police doesn't actually mean anything, no matter how many times you do it or how many times you tell people you've done it. The fact that you refuse to actually engage with me despite multiple attempts at contacting you would indicate to me that you're more interested in causing drama and stamping your feet than actually resolving anything (that's just my personal opinion, though, and despite that I'm still trying to get to the actual detail of what you think is illegal on the site; with millions of hits a month and hundreds of thousands of comments, no court in the land would expect us to read it all - you have to actually give us the proper details of what's wrong, and where it is). *Seeing as Mr Daffern has ignored the Police requests to remove my wife and daughters (Photos / Name / addresses / car reg / phone numbers / work addresses & work emails) from his site, then I assume that he will do the same with this. No, see...that's not true. There is no part of the site which has any personally identifiable details of you or your family. If there is, give me the URLs and I'll look at it and remove them. I haven't ignored any requests from the Police - they've directly verified that there's no breach of the law in any of the content on the site regarding you and your scams, and they have all of my contact details; they've been in touch a number of times, so I'm not sure where you're getting the idea that I've ignored any request. Please supply the details of each of these requests - which Police officer made it, what they asked for and when. *So I’m hoping that you might be able to help have them removed. Nothing to remove, according to the Police. <continued...>
*It's been one thing for Mr Daffern and his friends to attack me, but my daughter had to leave her college course in September because of comments made by Fretboard members on her blog and Facebook pages. The details of my wife's work as a teacher have also been posted and her school is aware of the Defamatory comments made on the website. They may also be considering a Defamation Legal case against your husband because of the nature of the comments, just as I have discussed with my solicitors. I have never attacked you on the site - in fact, I've never attacked you at all. I've asked you to get in touch on numerous occasions in order to HELP you get this resolved. Nobody can bring a defamation suit against me, because I haven't made any defamatory comments about you (despite what you imagine to be true); I've already had that confirmed by my solicitor. Not only that, but I'm protected from prosecution because of other people's comments by the Safe Harbour provisions in the law (as a service provider), as is my ISP. If you'd really spoken to a solicitor about bringing a lawsuit against me, they would have told you exactly the same thing. If your daughter really had to leave college because of this, then I would recommend that you speak to your solicitor, because there are extremely basic legal procedures he can go through to formally ask us to help in identifying the people who caused it. Of course, that would also require sworn testimony from your daughter and the college to that effect, and as you've completely failed to back up any of your claims at any point since this all started (including the slightly macabre one about calling the Police because of your made-up story that somebody threatened to burn your house down with your kids in it, which PC <redacted because he doesn't want to have his name in public> is also aware of), I'm going to assume that you've made this one up too until presented with actual evidence to the contrary. *One of the recent topics that has been passed on to me today, shows members including your husband planning to send used sex toys to my wife work, which I'm sure you'll agree is completely unacceptable.
Which topic? And what comment did I make about sending used sex toys to you? Please provide me with the URL so that I can a) refresh my memory, and b) examine it for any illegal content. *The multiple topics about me and they way they have been manipulated to affect my business has been seen by my clients as childish internet trolling, especially when they started contacting my customers saying that I’m a sex offender, but I cannot stand back and allow my family to be attacked. Who contacted your customers and said that you're a sex offender? It certainly wasn't me, but we'll obviously cooperate with the Police if there's an investigation into it, because that's actionable slander. *I have just added the copies of these new topics to the evidence that has already been passed onto Thames Valley Police, as there is a current criminal investigation into Fretboard members who have been impersonating me online. Excellent - unfortunately, given that you haven't actually given me any details of these threads, there's no chance of me ever having complied with a request to remove them. As I've said on almost every occasion when I've tried to contact you, I want to actually make sure that we're complying with the law...but you're not giving us the chance to do so, so there's precisely zero chance of you ever managing to bring a successful suit against me or the other admins of the site. *Again I'm sorry to involve you, but as you can see your husband seems to have no problem in involving my family.
As you well know, I've not once said anything about your family. In fact, other than speaking to the Police, my ISP and my solicitors every time you've come up with yet another one of your bogus claims, I've basically had zero involvement in any of this. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yet again, I'm going to ask that you call me on (07989) 961 948 to actually discuss this like an adult instead of everything you've done so far, which is equivalent to stamping your feet like a child. In the interests of full disclosure, we've assembled the full pack of evidence available to us - including everything that our members have dug up about your previous exploits - at PC <redacted because he doesn't want to have his name in public>'s request, and sent it to him. Should the Police wish to take anything further (and I'm guessing they won't, given that I haven't heard from them in over 6 weeks, but I have no idea how much paperwork's involved), you may be able to request a copy of that from them. I will also be sending him screenshots of the conversation you attempted to start with my wife, as well as this reply.

I responded from my own Facebook account, and he accepted the contact request...I have a strong suspicion that he'll try to trump up some way to accuse me of abuse via Facebook and get my account shut down, but it's just another part of the hassle I apparently have to bear
