Ironclad Media, Aka Leathermensdungeon.com Aka Gayroughnecks.com Sleaziest Guy on The Web Belmar New Jersey

Just as the other complainants have stated, this guy gets your email address and then begins to spam the hell out of you.

When I got the first email from him I went to his site and joined the free side of the site. Nearly immediately I began to get emails from other sites operated by him.

I used the unsubscribe link he has on his email but they did no good. I finally wrote to him asking him politely to remove me from his mailing list. What I got in return was one the nastiest emails I've ever received from a website owner. He accused me of trying to rip him off, called me a "scumbag", which seems to be his favorite word.

I own one of the largest gay adult sites on the web. We also run it very ethically. Just yesterday, Jan 28, 2007, one of my members sent me the following email after having had a bad experience with Ironclad Media's leathermensdungeon.com:

"Comments: Dear Sir/Madam, first of all I think your site is A1 & I am very happy with it. I am hoping that someone there can give me some advise or point me to someone who can about another website, I realise my problem has nothing to do with you but I think something like this can be bad for the entire online porn industry & I did not know who else to talk to about it. My problem is this, some time ago I joined a website called LeathermensDungeon.com as a basic free member on a trial period, after making a profile & checking it out for a while I decided the website was not for me & tried to opt out but found I could not delete my profile & cancel my free membership without first becoming a paid member. First of all I tried to contact someone through the \\\"contact us\\\" section asking how I could do this & got no answer so I left it a while & tried again, this time asking if someone on the site could do it for me. Less then a day later I got an extremely abusive Email from some guy called LJ calling me a \\\"freeloading scumbag\\\" & basically suggesting that I was a child molester, not only that, he told me \\\"Your Email has been forwarded to the United States Department of Justice for further investigation in their ongoing efforts to enforce section 2257 of the United States code & and the Adam Walsh Child Protection Act.\\\" . I can\\\'t believe this man has accused me of this & put me into the US authorities just because I decided that I did not want to be a paid member of his website. Is there a way I can Email this letter to someone there so you could see for yourself just how abusive he was to me. Once again, I know this has nothing to do with you but I was just hoping that someone could give me some advise on what to do as I have been very stressed by this Email accusing me of such a nasty thing when it is NOT true, please help, thank you for your time".

As you can see, this Gary at Ironclad Media treats everyone exactly the same. Something truly needs to be done to not only shut this idiot down, but to see what laws he is violating. It is unlikely he has any money to go after, but it certainly seems that he is violating several laws with the way in which he is operating his business.
