We do not want global coca-cola culture, we are an independent nation with our own language and culture.

Freelancer has been going around a few blogs and even at Digg to copy and paste the same allegations. I have to say that weakens his or her case substantially. Also, I thought it was very strange that (s)he called these nine points ‘corrections’ when in fact many of them are clearly opinions and unsubstantiated, and some do not relate in any way to my post as ‘corrections’. No doubt I must be you, too, posting a positive response under an alias.    I’m still open to hearing the other side of the arguments to balance out the comments, but it does appear that the blogosphere, at least, is effectively silent on them.

Let me address freelancer's statements... 1. Kouros is not a media mogul, but the editor of a small, grass root, immigrant newspaper called Sixdegrees. Kouros owns two newspapers, has directed six films, written a few books, won some awards. He's a rather famous celebrity, especially amongst us foreigners. 2. schwarzmann has been harassing Kouros in his blog for years, Kouros never reacted to that. I've never harassed Kouros. I've never even met the guy. He's a political commentator and I've disagreed with him on some of his articles. 3. Schwartzmann sued Kouros first, Kouros countersued. Yes, after Kouros lied to shut down my Google Ads, I filed a complaint to the courts. 4. Before finland for thought, Schwarzmann used to bark at Kouros and Sixdegrees in an Neo-Nazi site called stormfront.org, using the nickname “Eldrich”. He also donated money to that site through Amazon.com using his credit card (police is investigating). LOL!! Never heard this one before. There's nothing like this in Kouros' court papers, so freelancer you're obviously just making this up. 5. Kouros is the best thing that has ever happened to the immigrant community in Finland, has produced a lot of genuine cultural stuff. Absolutely. 6. Scwarzmann is a shame to the blogging community, using his blog to abuse and defame people in the name of freedom of speech. He is certainly a troubled individual who needs professional help. You got me there, I definitely need help. :-) 7. Scwarzmann gets salary form Nokia, using most of his working time to post and comment in his abusive blog. (he comments regularly on his own posts using a false nicknames) While some take a smoke break, I take a blog break. Some years ago I had a lot more time to write during work, but lately I've been working 12 hour days plus weekends and don't see my own blog for days. And I've never once post under a false nickname. 8. Many of these Diggs and are Schwarzmann (and co) himself using this and bloginterlinking to desprately get publicity. I only Dugg that article once. 9. Pathetic! Isn’t it? You are! Jack, thanks for covering this story!

Let me address freelancer’s statements…

1. Kouros is not a media mogul, but the editor of a small, grass root, immigrant newspaper called Sixdegrees.

Kouros owns two newspapers, has directed six films, written a few books, won some awards. He’s a rather famous celebrity, especially amongst us foreigners.

2. schwarzmann has been harassing Kouros in his blog for years, Kouros never reacted to that.

I’ve never harassed Kouros. I’ve never even met the guy. He’s a political commentator and I’ve disagreed with him on some of his articles.

3. Schwartzmann sued Kouros first, Kouros countersued.

Yes, after Kouros lied to shut down my Google Ads, I filed a complaint to the courts.

4. Before finland for thought, Schwarzmann used to bark at Kouros and Sixdegrees in an Neo-Nazi site called stormfront.org, using the nickname “Eldrich”. He also donated money to that site through Amazon.com using his credit card (police is investigating).

LOL!! Never heard this one before. There’s nothing like this in Kouros’ court papers, so freelancer you’re obviously just making this up.

5. Kouros is the best thing that has ever happened to the immigrant community in Finland, has produced a lot of genuine cultural stuff.

Absolutely.

6. Scwarzmann is a shame to the blogging community, using his blog to abuse and defame people in the name of freedom of speech. He is certainly a troubled individual who needs professional help.

You got me there, I definitely need help. :-)

7. Scwarzmann gets salary form Nokia, using most of his working time to post and comment in his abusive blog. (he comments regularly on his own posts using a false nicknames)

While some take a smoke break, I take a blog break. Some years ago I had a lot more time to write during work, but lately I’ve been working 12 hour days plus weekends and don’t see my own blog for days. And I’ve never once post under a false nickname.

Your allegations are interesting and certainly paint Phillip Schwarzmann in a more negative light.    Have you some links you can share with us? It would be excellent to see the statement of claim as Schwarzmann describes it as being sizeable, yet we only know a few claims from his side.

If Kouros was that big a bully, then surely he could use his newspapers to hurt Schwarzmann? He hasn’t, but his other actions don’t seem to be that normal, either. As to Schwarzmann, I read some of his past posts on Kouros and they seem pretty harmless—critical, subjective, but not libellous. I don’t know what to think, completely.
