My, my, Name of Pen, when you take the bait, you swallow the hook! And I gotta tell you something about Latin--I didn't particularly care for it for the two years it was required in my Jesuit high school, and even less in law school. You are like most people, including us lawyers, who use it to impress. In your case all it does is obfuscate (that means screw up) your message. Clarity is the key, my man!

By the way, you blew the answer. Do some quick research on civil procedure, particularly "parties of interest" and "long arm statutes" and whether "summary judgment" is an obstacle. Then get right back with us, hear?

Thanks, buddy!

I just LOVE a coincidence! Here I am, pitching a ***** about essaywriters.net on a board they obviously monitor--or participate in, eh, Name of Pen? So what happens? Name of Pen has the bright idea to check me out--not a difficult task, to be sure. As we all know, "you can be a dog on the Internet", unfortunately if you are a lawyer (and thus to some, already a mongrel of sorts) you are best advised to be what you is. The theory being (a) do nothing stupid enough to lose (or loose!) your license, and (b) what the hell, what can be lower in some opinions?

Anyway, I digress. (By the way, Name of Pen, gimme the Latin for that; is it io digressione, or am I thinking in my Mother Italiano?) So, after all this *****ing, and with the knowledge that I am obviously planning some sort of action, I GET PAID!

Now, you would think essaywriters.net can expect me to jump on the supporter's bandwagon, but just the thought of Name of Pen's jock-strap is, well, I don't want to go there.

Have we heard the last? We will when essaywriters.net "ponies up" and starts paying the past-due amount to the legitimate writers and then they post the fact that they have been paid.

My, my, "nom de plume"--or perhaps "nom de guerre" would be more apropos?

You seem terribly defensive for an organization (essaywriters.net); is it mere gallantry? Have you been so well served by your master that you now find his defense your calling?

You seem to have some attraction to the law; I say "attraction" as opposed to "knowledge". Having a law degree, as I do, does make a subtle difference.

But, you will make my point for me. How? You will answer your own question--believe me, every good lawyer can do that. Your question is "why do you not bring a court case?" We will await your answer with unbridled angst.

I've very pleased for you--"there were no issues, fees were always on time and fully paid. No charges of plagiarism--nada!" Far from me to cast doubt on your claims, and I look forward for you to post copies of your payment records, completed orders, and personal profile. As you know it is very easy to cut and paste these records for a download--I have--and once you have them posted all of these malcontents will know, once and for ever, how legitimate essaywriters--and you--are.

Now, regardless of all that underserved flack people seem to be heaping on you, you make sure you have yourself a DAMN good day, hear?

There may be a better way. I have also been scammed to the tune of about $1100USD past due and another $300 pending; I guess it is fair tuition for the school of hard knocks.

I have been analyzing the issue for some time. Here are the facts as I see them:

1. Essaywriters.net has a consistent pattern of initial payment and then a variety of excuses to delay or not pay. Currently they are (according to my screens) late for the June 1-3 and June 15-17 payments. The current excuse is "the quality assurance department is overloaded".

2. This has obviously had some effect upon essaywriters as their opening screen now (a) solicits new writers with a telephone number and (b) has a spot for "returning writers".

3. The number of legitimately screwed writers is undetermined. Based on this and other boards I suspect the complaining writers may be "the tip of the iceberg" with others not ripped off to the point of caring about it or too embarrassed to admit to being scammed. Don't be--it's just well-spent tuition money, see above.

4. "Legitimately screwed" is not a term of art. During my time at essaywriters there were no shortage of revision requests from rightly upset customers. I personally saw usually one or two per day where the essay provided was absolute junk. These writers clearly did not deserve to be paid.

I would like any legitimately screwed writer to contact me. I am not a plant and am not anonymous. My name is Charles Parmenter, I hold both BSBA and JD degrees from Missouri universities, and I had a law office through 2006 in Missouri. Please feel free to check this out via martindale.com and contact me via spots_dad@yahoo.

Please note very carefully I am not currently practicing law and have no desire to and will not either provide legal advice or become involved in any sort of litigation with these idiots, and I am certainly NOT soliciting for clients (the lack of clients is exactly why I am enjoying NOT practicing anymore!)

Thanks!
