First. It is completely inadmissible for you to recognize that you have not contacted me before because you did not expect an answer, but you did not waste your time to send letters to Suffolk University, etc. You did not want to contact me because you did not want to get the truth but to cause a scandal and stain me. When this polemic ends I will request from the administrators of this forum to delete this discussion because it harms my image without any reason and they are the only responsible for publishing defamations from a “ghost” without web page, e-mail, neither specific details. My lawyers have already begun to work on this. I begin telling you that you are complaining about the use of “maildrop” and you are using an alias. I mean, you do not exist. I can not sue someone who does not exist. You have accused Suffolk University, Ms. Izaskun Lazcano, our relation with organizations I do not know and you still have not apologized. You have used the words <degree mill> when I have never signed a diploma, you have doubts about my degree of physician, without recognizing that I was one of the youngest physicians in Spain because of my academic success. You have tried to stain the image of an international organization with 200 associates relating it with a business of XXX models and still have not apologized. You have tried to harm the image of the institution because of the problems of a physician with the handling of hazardous materials. All this cannot be only a discussion in a forum. This is a crime. I have all the time you need from now on to answer you, but I think that the most correct behaviour for you is to contact me by e-mail and not to shelter yourself in the coward anonimity. I repeat. You are a coward. You do not face up. I do. Now I am going to answer to your “last investigations”: 1.- <I believe that the facts presented tend to discredit Mr. Roldan's various online universities>. Currently I do not work for any online university. ASIU only offers presential summer courses and does not grant degrees. First lie. 2.- Mr. Roldan's connection to AWU and Asher appears to have gone on for some time longer than the year that Mr. Roldan claims, with both Mr. Roldan and his wife having been listed as being affiliated with AWU. Titles such as "chancellor" and "director" have been used to describe his position with the firm. I studied a PhD en Ergonomics with Dr, Asher in 1996. It was the only one I found in this specialty in distance learning in USA. I asked the accreditation and they sent me the AWU’s authorization of the State of Iowa to grant PhDs. If the law allowed her to grant this degree, I cannot judge if it is mill or not. I submitted a thesis of 400 pages that has been published in Spain as textbook. After that, Dr. Asher asked me to help her organize the university in Europe and I accepted. I worked for her during a year until 1997. I did not like her methodology, especially in the undergraduate level, because it seemed very poor to me, but I can confirm that I found excellent candidates for PhD, at least in Spain. I know there were catalogues with my name, etc. that I have withdrawed little by little. That’s all. 3.- <Besides being associated with Maxine Asher and American World University, Mr. Roldan has been associated with other degree mills and accreditation mills or their "faculty" or "staff," such as Charles Merceica whose International Association for World Peace is used by the degree mills of Maxine Asher and others to claim "U.N. recognition." Merceica of course has had positions with Mr. Roldan's European University, and other institutions I would consider degree mills.> That is not true. Dr. Charles Mercieca is the President of AIEPM, with consultative special status in United Nations, but has not given any accreditation to AWU. He has been professor in Harvard. He was appointed as Honorary President of EUU, but EUU delayed all activity until getting an official permanent accreditation. EUU does not work on-line. Because of this the web site is also postponed for the moment. I ask you to retract the degree mill epithet because it has not granted any. You are lying. 5.- <If Mr. Roldan has no association with SafeWork, I find that very strange, since it has been used as his mailing address online many, many times.> It is an old address of a company where I worked until 1998. I no longer use that address. 6.- <I simply don't believe what Mr. Roldan says about his C.O.D.E., since it has long been cited as the "accreditor" for his European University. And if it is not an accreditor, what is it?> CODE, which groups distance learning institutions since 5 years ago, helps them organize them. Currently, it is seeking its consultative status in United Nations. It does not accredit universities. If you find one, tell me. EUU it is not active, I repeat, and it will not be until getting an official accreditation. 7.- <There is much more to discuss regarding these various businesses with which Mr. Roldan has been associated, and I will direct more questions in an email to Mr. Roldan at some point in the future, probably many months from now, when I am nearer to publishing the article on American World University that I am preparing. I could ask, why do Mr. Roldan's businesses require mail-drop addresses in such foreign countries as England and Switzerland when I understand he is in Spain? Etc., etc.> You have no right to know anything about my businesses. I use a service of Secretary with PMB and telephone in New York, another one in Wakefield and another one in Geneva. I always give my main addresses in Madrid or London. I am not hiding as you are doing. The system is very useful and effective. Outsourcing is very recommendable for organizations. But you still are only looking for the perverse side of the anonimity, because I insist. You are the only one anoanonymous. You are the pseudonym of a coward. To end, I ask you: 1.- To apologize for the false statements in this forum and to the people you sent your e-mail last week. On the contrary, the responsible persons of the forum will be called before the Court to identify you and I will ask the judge the cautelar suspension of this forum. Dr. Alfonso Roldán Moré
Here we go, again. Seems this is how it all began on AED. Chip, Tom, etc., lets not allow DegreeInfo to follow the same route. Russell
Dr. More, I am sure that you are aware of the concept of free speech (at least through the american movies) in America. This right to speak freely may not be available to you in Spain. The opinions of "starrmustgo" are her(his) opinions, and certainly protected as free speech. I hate to tel you the truth: you may not like it; but, you can do nothing about it. (No wonder the islamic fanatatics hate America!) Additionally, evidence rules prohibit the disclosure of confidential information unless to investigate, prove or prevent a crime or national security. So have at it. Please help an attorney to pay for her new pool in her backyard!
Like Dennis Hopper once said: "This feels like a Déjà vu all over again". Indeed, this is all too familiar!! Enough already!!! CFr
Everyone may be critizised but no one may defame in any part of the world with or without Internet. But if I am defamed in a forum by a coward bastard anonymous, I will sue the administrators of the Forum until I know who the author is. This is the first rule of democracy in all the world. By the way, I do not know your e-mail, address or web address. You are also anonymous. Dr. Alfonso R. Moré
COULD I JOIN AND MAKE A LITTLE COMMENT.IT IS A BIT SAD (MAYBE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO DICTIONARIES IN SPAIN) THAT YOU ARE NOT QUITE SURE OF THE DIFFERENCE IN MEANING BETWEEN CRITICISM AND DEFAMATION. IF YOU WERE TO LOOK AT YOUR OWN LAWS (THINKING THAT YOU CAN SUE IS LAUGHABLE) YOU WOULD REALISE THAT DEMOCRACY ALLOWS THIS FREEDOM TO TALK AND PASS COMMENT.DEFAMATION? NOT EVEN IN SPANISH (WHICH I HAVE A GOOD WORKING KNOWLEDGE OF) COULD SOMEONE MIX UP THESE WORDS. PLEASE DON'T BITE OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW - YOU MAY CHOKE. BY THE WAY, MAYBE YOU SHOULD CHECK THE EUROPEAN LAW ALSO, TO KNOW THAT YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FOUNDATION FOR SUCH CLAIMS OF DEFAMATION AND THAT YOU WOULDN'T HAVE A LEG TO STAND ON. SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE AND MOVE ON, FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. IT'S ALWAYS INTERESTING THAT A PERSON WHO CLAIMS INNOCENCE FROM SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ACCUSED OF IT THE FIRST TO JUMP AND MAKE A TREMENDOUS FUSS - MOST DECENT PEOPLE, KNOWING THEIR INNOCENCE, WOULD SIMPLY IGNORE IT, KNOWING THAT IT ISN'T TRUE (IF IT WEREN'T). WHY THE BIG FUSS FROM YOURESLF? YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE SOMETHING TO WORRY ABOUT? REGARDS DAVID SEARSTROM 177 BOARDWALK WAY VANBURGH HILL GREENWICH LONDON SE5 8RT PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AMIGO, IF YOU HAVE ANY FURTHER CONCERNS OR QUESTIONS. ADIOS!
I will sue! Sue everybody and everything! Sue! Sue! Sue! Whew! Ok, I feel better now. Sorry. Dav Hayden
Fellows, With all said, I agree with Russell. The forum’s administrators should step in and stop this crap. ASAP. I wish people will be sincere and acknowledge the fact that Freedom Of “SPEACH” does not mean freedom to insult others, or wrongfully accused people. Especially by “FACELESS, NAMELESS IRRITANTS” Who are not even bold enough to reveal their own identity, and yet expect any sane minded person to believe anything said by them .As for the Welshboy, I think you should not fuel a situation that You have confessed to be ignorant of. Maybe you too should take your own advise and save the rest of us from reading your unsolicited legal bullshit. In other words, "GET LOST." Timmy Ade urging Starmustgo to tell us who He really is if He has nothing to Hide, and if He wants to taken seriously.
Good morning, folks! A reminder that personal attacks are against the Terms of Service (as is pretty much everything said in this thread). Now most of you already know that anything that has this Topic name must violate something. Please refrain from jumping on the bandwagon (for or against). Thank you. Tom Nixon
