This is a CLASSIC example of trying to marginalise and besmirch somebody when they
become a threat to the establishment.Let me correct the previous post NOW.
Robert
Connelly's PSI-Japan have in my experience been one of the most accessible and decent
of all the registrars I have encountered.
They do NOT take your money unless your
name is actually registered. They ask your bank to "reserve" a sum (a fairly common
practice) but that sum does not get transferred to them unless you get the name.
I
am a poor schoolteacher trying to bring up a family of kids. I decided I wanted to
reduce the number of domains I was applying for half way through the summer. Some
companies would let me, some wouldn't.
Robert and his son Duane couldn't have been
more helpful. We exchanged several e-mails (Robert always answered immediately) and
although I was causing them inconvenience, they were always courteous and immediately
cancelled my transactions and my money remained mine.
IN CONTRAST: the great Afilias
that Mr Bernstein YET AGAIN tries to justify has been stunning in its inaccessibility
over the past weeks: inaccessible to customers; inaccessible to Robert Connelly himself.
They have presided over a process that has resulted in thousands of HONEST customers
being defrauded.
I would like to assure you: Robert Connelly is HONEST.
His "offence"
is that he had the courage to speak out against the perpetrators of an injustice,
and that he was prepared to consider fairness and honesty and other human beings
- not merely money.
