Battery Geek Articles

Given Mr. "Sales" spamming on the Internet with the following:

Michael Harrison above is one of the most irate and irrational customers that we have ever encountered after years of building our successful business. We also suspect that he is somewhat psychotic as he doesn't seem to want to leave us alone since even before October 1, 2005. He also owns a blog at dragonseye.com where he seems to find comfort in talking trash about us as well as many others. He appears to have a smoking gun as he has been doing nothing but making up lies and false accusations against us and others in addition to posting negative comments about us as well as other big companies in his own blog. We also have good reason to believe (from some of our clients) that he is manipulating his blog to block all positive comments about our company and that he is also making up phony negative posts against us. Please note that Mr. Harrison was offered a full money back guarantee a long time ago even long after his 30 days return policy expired however he still chose to keep his battery. We wish that he would just go out and try to get a life for himself instead of trying to broadcast negative trash about us and others however apparantly this is too much to ask of him. We believe that contrary to popular belief, the customer is not always right.

I thought it would be beneficial to collect the articles I've written concerning Battery Geek into one location for easy searching by my readers.

In each of his posts on the following threads is he incapable or unwilling to give his real name. Is he afraid it will make it too easy for me to determine the source of the defamation?

In the jkontherun thread James Kendrick eventually shut down the thread but not before Mr. Sales had a chance to make personal attacks and only after I posted my rebuttal with links back to articles addressing my points. Conflict of interest in favor of one of his (former?) advertisers and a friend? I think so.

The Consumerist correctly identifies Mr. Sales email as a form letter and attempt at trolling.
