Talk:US/NC/Durham/landlords

I do not think it is right to specifically place someone down as a slumlord. I believe that this is slandering.

Perhaps... but as regards the particular landlord whose name you deleted from the list (Bill Fields), the allegation of slumlordly behavior is substantiated by another web site. I have similar substantiation for Ronnie Sturdivant, although (oddly) you chose not to remove his name despite the lack of substantiation in the listing. Either way, HTYP strives to serve the community by bringing such descriptions to the attention of both the described (Mr. Fields and Mr. Sturdivant, in this case) and the describers. You are welcome to use this page as a forum for further discussion, including (if you wish) defense of Mr. Fields's actions as a property owner. --Woozle 21:09, 1 April 2007 (EDT)
Regardless of whether allegations of slumlord behavior is warranted you are still defaming two individuals on this website which will be pursued by legal actions. This site is to give information coming into the city of Durham, am I right? What good does it do to defame the names of these two individuals? The actions of this website are leading to the defamation of character and I wish you to take down these descriptions.
