"Alin,
Regardless off your actions, the results of our lab tests will not change. They will reflect the quality of your company. I hope for your sake that you have been working as hard at quality control as you claim. I don't have the results yet, but am told reports will be in next week.
Readers should know that Balkan pharmaceuticals has been (BY FAR, LEAPS AND BOUNDS OVER ALL OTHER LABS) the most difficult company to deal with since this book was announced. Most labs have been cooperative. Even those with issues on early bacteria tests have generally been very willing to assist us or even address report issues. Not Alin. Instead, this is how he deals with us.
1) While most other labs refused also, Alin, having professed to us privately many times to have the best QC in the business, refused to send in any samples for testing even though we had a strong open dialog. Even though he would have had total control over when he sent, he sent nothing. We had to get from the black market, like most.
2) Alin tried to convince us to let his private lab do all the testing for the book. We refused for obvious reasons.
3) We were very quickly offered a lucrative advertising contract to remove Balkan from the UG book. We refused.
4) Alin next spent a great deal of time emailing us questioning our testing methods. We have not even released any reports, but he had been complaining relentlessly that they cannot be accurate.
5) It has since become very ugly. Alin has continued to email, threatening to expose us for taking bribes, running underground labs, many things that are completely untrue and very insulting. Many of these same accusations later appeared on other blogs, crediting "anonymous sources" for the information. It is very clear to me that he wants to discredit us and our efforts before they are even released.
6) He's threatened to expose our private personal information.
7) He has threatened to retaliate legally and otherwise if he doesn't agree with what we say in the book.
8) While I cannot prove Alin was behind it, our site was closed from a DoS attack. The most active country of attack was Moldova.
I just want to make sure, Alin, that you are aware that your behavior has no effect on the book. No matter how insulting you may be, it will not change my ability to publish an impartial book. If your company is good, the reports will show this. But with all this behavior, I am very concerned you know already there will be problems. I hope I am wrong.
I have been the direct subject to his hostile emails and attacks for weeks, and am getting tired of it. I will not let Alin effect my impartiality. If I did, he would in effect get a victory. So, I can just complain about it. Which I will continue to do for as long as you keep up this shit.
I will post the truth Alin, you can try and discredit me with lies. We'll see who people support in the end."
