Monkey C Media & Jennifer Thompson, San Diego
Please explain your actions and motivations.
If you have been misinformed, we hope this letter corrects that.
However, if you have been aware of the real situation, then your public and your clients can form their own opinion.
Nigel’s friends and family created a wonderful testament to Nigel’s life on the site www.muchloved.com . His family has maintained dignity and, apart from one open letter to me, refrained from responding to Dianna’s own online “survivor” blogging.
http://nigel.bonny.muchloved.com/frame.aspx? shows the respect Nigel had generated amongst his many genuine friends across the world. His tribute site still receives many positive comments from those who knew him well.
We are aware that there are many people who sell online platforms to those who then abuse others from the same platforms. ASK.FM in Latvia was recently in the news as a result of a reported suicide of one of their readers who felt bullied.

We hope that any site that becomes a platform for malicious misinformation which unfairly denigrates the dead will be shut down. We hope that one day those who create such platforms will be sued for the harm their misinformation creates. Those who create online platforms for harm should be aware that one day they may be held responsible for the consequence of their actions.
Some website developers and content managers knowingly take that risk for the fast buck. We believe their time is running out. At some stage in the future they will be called to account. It’s just a question of time.
Freedom of expression has no place if innocent parties are being unfairly maligned with misinformation.
Especially if they committed suicide as a result of false accusations.
We hope that Dianna can be persuaded to cease her “survivor” blogging, which appears to be causing her more harm than she realizes.
Members of Nigel’s family have simply asked Nigel’s friends and relatives to say what they thought of him on an open forum tribute site:
http://nigel.bonny.muchloved.com/
Nigel’s mother, brothers, sister and other relatives wanted to recognize the goodness in of a person who had been great friend of many others. The website tells the story of his vivacious character and colorful life.
Nigel’s life was flawed like everybody’s. However Nigel was ultimately respected by countless friends and family. His friends from around the world have made wonderful comments for over two years.
Jennifer Thompson, you can put online matters right and stop promoting Dianna.
Will you please respond accordingly?
