Mr. James Taylor of Imegre Marketing was performing a free service for a local nonprofit in which I am a sponsor. He was creating their newsletter for a major event and an ad for my business was to be placed in the publication. He at first purposely distorted the ad by changing colors then purposely stretched it disproportionately before sending it to the printer.
While he was working on the ad, he photographed his screen and submitted it to failblog which caused numerous harassing telephone calls and emails to my place of business. On top of that, the "internet trolls" who hang out on failblog further attacked other business listings for me around the internet and wrote harassing feedback.
I at first published a message on my site addressing and attacking James for this unprofessional and childish antic. This provoked a telephone call from Mr. Taylor himself who denied any responsibility in the failblog posting. At first he claimed an "unknown party" took a photo of his screen and posted it, then after a heated conversation he claimed to know the person but would not release their name (s).
This is not the first time Mr. Taylor of Imegre Marketing has tried to attack me. The last time he tried to log on to one of my websites to post insulting remarks, fortunately my comment system was moderated and I aborted his attempt.
In the incident I am reporting now, it doesn't matter if James Taylor did the actual posting to failblog, as he had control of the artwork and most likely knew of the malicious intent of the photo. I confronted him telling him he most likely had the photo taken to send to a friend so he could spoof the IP address of the posting to which he chuckled as he knew I was right. This indicates that whoever created the post, the whole thing was orchestrated by James Taylor himself.
I offered James to remedy the situation by issuing an apology publicly on his company letterhead for posting on my site. He has refused thus far and stated he is not responsible in this incident. When questioned, "Who is?" he has no reply.
I believe my request for a public apology to be reasonable and just. While necessary to exact justice, I find it uncomfortable that I have had to take this to the extreme by posting my complaint on this site.
Mr. Taylor publicly states he is a Christian and uses that as a marketing tool to solicit accounts from Churches. There is nothing Christian about his behavior let alone nothing professional or ethical.
I would seriously hope anyone considering using his services to question whether anything submitted to him might cause their business the type of hardships as I have suffered. This behavior is unprofessional and childish to say the least.
I haveincluded a screen shot of his posting to failblog as well as their comment system where he admits some liability but tries to blame the actual post on a 3rd party named "Tom".
