A Gem from Article-Gems

UPDATE:
Article Gems decided to listen to us and has removed the articles!


We have been all over the internet to pull kimkins weeds. One place kimkins articles were found was Article-Gems. They did not respond too well to emails sent by "angry weigh loss people":

Running an article directory - like article-gems is not always easy. Apart from the hundreds of articles each day to approve you occasionally are targeted by spammers - or in the latest case an email campaign from angry weight loss people (must be missing the food). Seriously though we received a number of emails demanding we removed articles on the Kimkins diet because the diet was the subject of litigation.


We make it quite clear in our terms of service will take no responsibility for the content of articles on article-gems. We chose to remove two articles - the first one for failing to comply with our terms of service (it had a link in the main article body) and the second one, because it had an untruth that was publically admitted to be untrue and therefore failed to comply with the spirit of our TOS.

However the over riding principle at article-gems.com is FREEDOM OF SPEECH. If your article complies with our terms of service IT WILL REMAIN - no matter how many angry dieters send us emails.

I have not emailed this site. But now I will.
