Exactly Ben,
I have never said anything bad about Casa Blanca... I've never stayed there, never seen it nor never met William; (nor do I care to)
BUT
I have personally seen his erratic behavior (postings) on several traveler boards and DR forums; have been contacted by one lady who felt threatened by his PMs after a less than stellar review; have personally received SPAM by PM on TA about his property and seen many, many absolutely bizarre postings on a variety of topics by him over the span of several years.
In addition I have my own opinion about the veracity of many of the so-called reviews praising his property; an opinion which I admit I cannot support by direct proof; at this time. I fully expect in a future fit of rage William will let slip something more substantive to my support my suspicions, but time will tell.
I suppose in some altered dimension I could overlook all of this but not in the real world - I cannot and will not recommend this property solely due to the owner's less than professional handling of a variety of situations, over time.
For me that is enough.
Gregg
