The Ben Bullock of kasmin.org who lives Tsukuba and took down his web
site very quickly is the Ben Bullock of yore. Danny Wilde lives in
Tsukuba too and has many similarities to Ben Bullock. Why would Danny
complain to abuse about me and post my "personal data", he has only
posted here 2 times and I don't post in sci.lang.japan. Why would he care?
Benny's site now says

Which is bizarre for so many reasons. Firstly he is obviously trying to
get business for his proof reading and eikawa business. Secondingly this
data was available publicly and he thinks that quoting
"I'm a British man called Ben, I'm 39 years old, and I'm married to a
Japanese woman. We have three children. " from his publicly listed web
site is wrong. Can't remember what he said exactly in his mail to abuse,
but I would have thought that Dr B. Bullock (PhD, physics) who goes to
such effort to use an psuedonym on the internet to avoid those of us who
remember him so well would not be so stupid to put his home address and
phone number on a website.
Which reminds me. When I was at highshcool a friend and I were studying
the careers books. It said that most people who study physics end up as
teachers.
"More than ten years' experience of correcting Japanese people's English
(five professionally)."
Who would have thought that Ben/Danny could make a living out of skillz
he developed correcting people on usenet, or not usenet as appropriate?
So Ben, what exactly did you expect would happen when you emailed GOL abuse?
