You might do well to wait for both sides of the story before lighting your pitchfork and calling to "rake these fuckers over the coals". Because looking at some of Brian Hamachek's emails to WhosHere, it appears you've been had by an untruthful sob story.
Jesus, the Internet Hate Machine is brutal. You haven't heard the other side of the story and you already want to BOMB them?
The guy you're willing to BOMB other people for said to them, and I quote, "I was born wealthy; I have an obscene trust fund. I assure you that if required, I will obtain the best legal representation for corporate litigation in the Silicon Valley. After your last proposal, I will resist this legal action well beyond what makes any financial sense, simply out of principal."
Are you really sure you want to BOMB people to support him?
I never tried to sell them the application. I offered to build a Windows Mobile and Windows Phone 7 application for free. Also, their offer doesn't seem very generous when you consider the extreme likelihood that if they obtained my application, it would never be integrated with their network. Since their offer was a 33% revenue share of that application's revenue, I would never see a dime. Building this was never really only about money anyways. WhosHere has no concept of community within their app. I didn't set out to build an app or a company, I wanted to build a community.
Brian, the only damage control you should be doing now is apologizing profusely to everyone for trying to manipulate this community. You spun a very sad story and left out incredibly crucial facts that did not serve you. That is simply unacceptable. This is clearly the act of a very immature person who is not ready for the world of business.
Your post is now clearly shameful; the fact that you went even further and began accepting donation money only escalates that shamefulness. Did you really think that the details you left out wouldn't come to light?
You've handled this very poorly. Apologize to the community, apologize to WhosHere before you get smacked with a defamation suit, and hire a damned lawyer to deal with your legitimate trademark and breach of contract lawsuit in a court of law instead of wasting time dancing around in the court of public opinion.
I continue to be amazed that folks continue to claim a rich man with a published book who makes the rounds on cable news networks is somehow being "censored" by virtue of his mediocre talk not being highlighted by an independent foundation. Seriously, this does a serious disservice to the word censorship and people across the globe who suffer from actual censorship.
Warehoused? How do we prevent them from leaving the warehouse? Maybe we need some fences and armed guards.
And now that we've prevented them from leaving, how do we keep them from fighting and misbehaving? Maybe we put them all in separate rooms so they can't get at each other.
Congratulations, we've just created a prison and made it a de facto crime to be homeless.
