If you visit Grassroots.org you will read the following statement:
The mission of Grassroots.org is to serve as a catalyst for positive social change by leveraging modern technologies and best business practices.
Grassroots was started by uber-domainer Michael Mann, who features several of his virtual properties at his domain, MichaelMann.com – the one that stands out is obviously Phone.com
We once had the pleasure to witness Michael Mann’s staccato responses – some call it “hyper” – at a Bido chatroom interview. Mr. Mann gave us the impression of an extremely smart and ultra wired individual with interests that extend well beyond the domain industry.
But has Michael Mann lost his mind?
Apparently, Michael Mann and his wife Lynn are in the middle of a divorce so bitter, that it’s reaching Hollywood celebrity status. Michael Mann registered LynnMann.com several years ago and it’s currently laden with content and private communications related to his divorce.
We quote a couple of paragraphs:
Lynn – Since we both love Jessie so much and she is being hurt by this, and we used to love each other, and the public is disgusted by us, we should settle now instead of later. We have to settle anyhow as any rational person knows, so why do we want to hate and feud and pay huge dollars and go through more hell first? I’ve had enough for sure, how about you?
…
Lynn has been cared for by me since I was a teenager. She has never gone a day without extreme luxury, security, good health, good friends, family, love, etc. Yet she is the rudest, cruelest, laziest, most spoiled, selfish, unsafe, liberally permissive person you could imagine , who could never earn enough herself to pay her tabs at every party, concert, ball game, event, beach club, cruise ship, hotel, strip club, airport, and married man redneck shindig, in my opinion.
…
Im sure Lynn told you how she lives in the most disgusting filth in the world with my daughter, no judge could ever approve her custody along with the rest of her crimes. The house smells god awful all over every day and is filled with shit and piss from 3 neglected animals. And all the household goods are stacked in huge filthy piles of crap. Lynn is drunk in Tennessee with a married man while this is happening leaving babysitters in charge and denying me any rights to see her, right now and regularly. Neither of you would be foolish enough trust Lynn to raise a child and neither am I. In fact I think I am going to call child welfare tomorrow.
While it’s unfortunate that Michael Mann and his wife Lynn are going through these divorce proceedings with a child caught in the middle, wouldn’t it be better if this entire argument were private? It’s damaging to Michael Mann’s reputation and his status as an uber-domainer. Regardless of his sentiments or rights of speech, common sense dictates that private matters should remain private.
Mr. Mann, please take down that blog. It only hurts your uber-domainer image in the long run.
