Hey there! Sorry about that.

There wasn't any malicious intent, I certainly don't make any money off of this. I just made this project for fun because I thought it'd be useful to have aggregated data from other reporting websites.

I'll remove the data at your request, though.

I appreciate that, thank you. Part of my problem with aggregation is that it removes the ability for people to amend or rescind what they've posted, or for me to drop listings out of Google when there's a legitimate dispute. The bedbug life is 1% programming and 99% angry/despondent/litigious email.

What?

You basically stole a bunch of data without attribution to forge the credibility of your service and now you are just waving it off as not a big deal? What's wrong with you? I see no other option but to flag you the hell off the front page.
