Guest guest Posted February 21, 2002 Report Share Posted February 21, 2002 Hi, Fraggle: As many people already know, Robert Cohen has been removed from EarthSave. His membership has been refunded. After making threats to Jeff Osman, the Office Manager of EarthSave in Santa Cruz a couple weeks ago (as well as to Holly Clark, the ED of EarthSave Louisville), that he (Cohen) planned to make it his " goal " to " destroy EarthSave, " Robert has been barred from speaking at EarthSave Events. And after being removed for cause and told EarthSave wants nothing more to do with him, Cohen yesterday set up a new email list called EarthSaveUSA . He has d a number of EarthSave leaders to his list without their knowledge or consent, by getting their email addresses off EarthSave websites. The people he has done this to are quite distressed. In his opening message on this list, Robert claims he is somehow acting on behalf of EarthSave. He is telling the EarthSave leaders he's put onto his list that " EarthSave is dying " but he (Cohen) is here to save it. It is just plain sick and purely vindictive, as is all else he's done. One chapter leader who was d without her knowledge wrote to Cohen asking to be removed. Rather than being removed, she received a reply from Cohen's webmaster and co-moderator, Dave Reitz, saying " You have no desire to learn the truth? To learn why Earthsave has been withering? " Of course Dave Reitz has never even been a member of EarthSave, and Cohen is, obviously, not someone EarthSave has any interest in being associated with. So just in case there was any question in anyone's mind about how low Cohen has sunk in his desparate attempts to hurt John Robbins and EarthSave, you now can see: he's hijacking our trademarked name, subscribing our leaders without their consent, and trying to do as much public damage as he can by spreading his nonsense.
