I would like the police and authorities of Bali to be aware of the fact that Bert Vierstra, owner of the Bali Expat Forum, has admitted in an email (which has been authenticated as from him) that he;
a) Has been posting hate / confrontational messages on other, competitive forums using false names to try and hise his true identity.
b) Has provided information to others (known to post hate messages) on how to circumvent certain security scripts the forums I run have (these are used to prevent people posting hate messages). Because of the number of hate postings then made with the assistance of Bert Vierstra, these can be taken as Spamming and Hacking attacks, of which Bert Vierstra is clearly an accomplice.
I would like the world to know just how nasty and cowardly that makes Mr. Vierstra, as;
a) He runs a forum himself, yet seeks to disrupt others.
b) I helped him when he first started, and have sent potential real estate cusomers (for his house sales business) his way (free of charge - no requests for a % for me). And this is how someone I have helped extensively repays that help.
My lawyers in Jakarta will be filing a police complaint against him, but I aks the authorities to stop his antics before this for the good of Bali. I can bea reached at mark@travelforum.org and will be happy to provide the clear evidence I have against Mr. Vierstra.
