Consumer Alert: Alcon LADARVision
2005-02-03 06:54:27 PM
The web site,
www.alconladarvision.com, very clearly states that the
site is operated by LME and goes into detail about who and what the
site is. The truth is quite prominently displayed.
On the other hand, you have other fingers.....NOWHERE on his site does
Glenn state that CRSQA is a business league/trade organization whose
purpose is to further the interests of refractive surgery/surgeons,
while he quite deliberately and intentionally chooses to mislead the
public into believing he is a public benefit corporation and patient
advocacy organization. The truth is nowhere displayed.
OH, and let us not forget Glenn's obsession with buying up any and all
similar or unused domain names/extensions of other legal entities and
pointing them all to his site in an attempt to mislead the public, once
again.
.................................................................................................
CRSQA represents CRSQA surgeons and Glenn Hagele. Period.

I might ask you the reverse.. why do you attack Glenn mercilessly..
yet you don't go after Rebecca at all when she is blatantly deceiving
people.. intentionally luring people to a website whose content is
exactly the opposite of what one would assume?
