about me

Regarding the controversy, after I got my gold medal I filed a complaint with Authonomy, attaching 'the Turtle respond's' thread.

They replied with an apology; good enough for me.

Dear David,

Thank you for drawing our attention to recent defamatory content relating to yourself in the forums of Authonomy. We are looking into this problem and hope to have all defamatory threads pulled down within the next 48 hours. Removing any indexing of old threads may take slightly outside of this time frame (this makes comments to be ‘visible’ through, but not fully viewable), however, we can assure you it is being treated as a top priority, and will be dealt with in the shortest time possible.

We would also like to apologise that you feel the forums have been used as a platform to direct abuse at you. We will be instigating a much stricter policing of the forums imminently, to try and make them a safe and valuable environment for Authonomy users, as they were originally intended to be.

Regards,
the authonomy team
