It appears some were misinformed about aspects of Phorm…here is a copy of the e-mail I received.

Dear Sirs

We are writing to you regarding the forum posting which appears on your website Reality is Relative at the following URLs:

http://www.wayneporter.com/2008/06/07/515/

The forum posting is based on an article published on the website http://nodpi.org/ which made false and defamatory allegations about Phorm Inc and Phorm UK, Inc – that we hijacked and replaced charity advertisements with our own ads.

Phorm have written to the author of the website, Alexander Hanff, and he has agreed to retract the allegations (see the article that now appears at http://nodpi.org/ under the heading “Humble Pie”).

In the circumstances we would be most grateful if you would edit the content on your article to remove the following words:

… which were substituted in place of some charity adverts e.g. from Oxfam.

Yours sincerely

Alex Laity
Phorm

Indeed the author of the blog has written Humble Pie Time as a retraction. I do not intend to edit my blog by deleting content. I will make every effort to get the straight facts and I will annote the blog so it is clear. In addition I have offered up an Interview Q&A at Revenews or here as to which Mr. Laity declined. I will post my questions anyway.

So that it is clear the ads were not hijacked but purchased.

From the Humble Pie Post at Nodpi:

I am unable to remove information posted on 3rd party sites but I will make this appeal to anyone who has posted stories, blogs or comments regarding the charity ads - please could you edit these to make it clear that I have the word of Kent’s solicitor and Emma Sanderson that these ads were in fact purchased and not hijacked.
