One Stop Thought Shop: Globat is not a decent ISP

From what we get,
we make a living;
what we give, however,
makes a life.

Life long iconoclast
seeks engagement.

VP in Charge of Rebellion

Excellent opportunity to stimulate growth. Formal l'agent du change. Abyss facer with capable mystic graciousness. Poet industrialist. Altruistic capitalist. Molecular minuteman. Quantum quarterback. And much, much more. Able to leap reluctance in a single bound. Mentors, counterparts, swashbucklers, dancing girls included.

A rocky career in non-profit social change such as the Men's Growth Institute. Strong industrial adventures in international trade and technology transfer. Officer of monorail transportation, manufactured housing, power, waste and water treatment offers. Worked with executives & officials in many nations building relations upon honor. Enjoyed deep, exciting and beautiful personal relationships. I believe that living is not always easy and can be quite painful, yet there is a tremendous capability inside of us to create our human potential.

We must be careful not to overstate the case. Let us not forget that in this situation it must be noted: nothing could be further from the truth. Because, as they say, it is the exception that proves the rule. Of course, rules are made to be broken and so, in this case, we must make allowances. For the time being, all we can state with certainty is that, given this set of assumptions, all things will be equal. Context is everything. Thus, this is not the final word on the subject. And yet, because of the foregoing doubts, we must be doubly sure. So, in light of current developments and taking stock of all our cultural preconceptions, the conclusion is neither obvious nor buried.

This doctrine is known as antinomianism, the doctrine that the Elect are free of all constraint by laws. To what extent does this principle still animate our politics?

At home, we have a famously low to nonfunctional welfare state, almost as if we thought there is fundamentally something wrong with helping those whom God hasn't favored.

Our entertainments (and sometimes, it seems, our police departments) are replete with the 'action hero' who breaks all the rules and acts an awful lot like a Bad Guy, but is the Good Guy nonetheless.

Want to dramatically increase your organization's "creativity quotient"? It may be simpler than you thought. IBM's knowledge management guru Larry Pruzak says the key to knowledge sharing and innovation is to "hire great people and let them talk." Social networks, personal relationships, people with connections across divisional boundaries - this is the real foundation for breakthrough innovation.

Globat is not a decent ISP

Boy o' boy!
I'm unhappy with this firm!

I have used Globat as the hosting provider for brianhayes.com.

The company sends promotional email. They refuse to honor requests to stop.

Globat hides a very shady practice in these promotions.

They will automatically bill your account.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, Globat will ring up your bill without you saying "Yes".

And, to beat all, they'll argue with you when you ask them to remove items on your bill you do not agree to buy and did not authorize.

And Globat will strong arm you and will freeze you out without notice.

Folks, unauthorized billing is an illegal practice. It doesn't matter if they print otherwise in a Terms of Service. And failure to provide access to a fully paid account is intimidation and fraud.

I am ashamed of Globat's practices and ashamed of Ben Neumann, Globat's CEO, and Tom Cox, Globat.com's Director of Customer Service.

Pilfering pockets is a form of fraud and usury.

My account at Globat is paid up and has been prepaid for years ahead, but should I move to a honest firm that carries out fair dealing?
