I write articles often for news media outlets. If someone asks not to be included in a story, I politely move along and come back to them for other future stories. I could see it if this was News, but this is at best an editorial "case study" about a company that doesn't want to be included in one. Not only is this kind of behavior by Xmediatrends idiotic from a journalistic point of view, it's a horrifically bad business move to start threatening the people you hope to interview. I am so glad I have nothing to do with that publication. I'm also troubled if someone is scraping adult boards for quotes to be used in publications that damage the ability of adult boards to get thoughtful people to participate.
Did you mention this to Theo/Eric/etc ?

What really concerns me is that on the thread that Paywit scraped the information, he asked me to post an update of the FakeHospital.com stats around 1 month after we launched. Of course, I believed this to be for the benefit of the thread. I was too busy to respond at the time. But thank god, because obviously, Paywit had other motives for using that information.
Yes, I have written to Theo and also Alec.
