Wow! What a fast reply! I guess Miss Fang (wink) that you have nothing better to do than watch this thread. I see that you are on line now. With so many important matters to attend to, I find it amazing how much time you spend on this particular matter!

If you have received various complaints about my school, why are you only publicizing this one?

You've thoroughly checked Clark's side of the story? What about my side? Did you check that out? Why not?

What a joke!

Clark should know that I have contacted the real Jane Fang (if there is such a person) by the e-mail address on the Connexions website and eagerly await her reply. If necessary, I will have one of my Chinese students call Connexions next week to speak to her in person.

I can't believe anyone would be so stupid and gutless as to impersonate a fellow employee of a business they are actually working for?

It takes all kinds!

To finally put the last nail in this coffin, please read the following exchange between myself and the Adminstrator of this site.

Please look at the posts in The New Village thread found in the Black List forum. I think you will agree that Ian Clark, who may be doing work for Connexions in some sort of recruiting capacity, is posing as another officer of that company.

I may be wrong, but isn't it against the rules of discussion forums like these to impersonate other people? The fact that he is doing so to slander my school only makes it worse. Can you ban him and/or post some sort of statement against this behaviour and help me defend my school's good name? I've been living and working honestly in Japan for over 9 years and don't want my reputation slandered in this way. It's obvious that Clark has an axe to grind and I don't think it is fair to allow him to drag my name and my school's reputation through the mud in this way.

Thank you in advance for any assistance you can offer.

Sincerely,

Hello Brian,

I will be banning Connexions now. IP address doesn't match the country he is located in and the email address registered is also not that of Jane Fang.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

Now you can get back to your work and do what matters.

Cheers.

...work all this out and i'm slightly confused by all this - i see that Connexions has been banned from the site for breaching the usage rules - but I have no idea why the individual Mr Miller keeps referring to as Ian Clark is constantly being mentioned - other than he may have supplied information to the Connexions Program. Conspiracy is not pretty, but neither is naked accusation. Is there any actual proof of any of this?

I have read all the posts carefully but I just cannot see where the evidence is to be drawn from. Certainly Ms Fang has a great command of English, I can only assume that she was brought up in an anglo-phone country - but I see how dangerous it is to assume so I'll stop immediately.

All jolly interesting though! Having read all this though I'm certainly having second thoughts about the calming qualities of expressing an opinion online.

Wow, i have to post again after reading the thread again. That was quite a tussle. Do Connexions have evidence of unlawful behaviour by the New Village? Why does Brian Miller care so much? Is Ian Clark really Connexions, or vice versa or is he working with them in close cooperation in some way? I'm all for international co-operation! They say there's no such thing as bad publicity - well then, New Village and Connexions are both shooting for the stars! Who knows...but I have to say that if guesses, and suppositions were currency I'd be loaded...ah who cares

[brian miller]

Indeed who cares?

I only got involved in this mess because my name and school name were popping up on the internet.

I hope Carel, who may very well be Clark (who can be sure at this point), that you can see to what lenghts people may go to discredit you if they put their mind to it.

Cheers,

Please note that Carel has been banned. This of course was Clark pretending to be from Scotland - the IP address was from Clark's house in Japan.

Now, any user typing from that IP address will be blocked.

What a nightmare this had been!

The Internt is a great thing, but also a very dangerous one!

Cheers,
