My response:

I will save this extortion email for my lawyer.

You will not win, I own 1000's of domains that are all used properly.

Your made for Adsense site that breaks Google TOS does not scare me.

Now make an offer or go away.

Watch our for this guy.

Interesting diplomacy.
He might need to polish up his negotiation skills.

I can see how you are infringing on his domain which was reg'ed 9-05.

PZ.com was recently reg'd 7-95.

DCG, considering you are going to lose the domain, you better hurry up and
sell it to me for $ 1,000.
This serious legal threat has made the domain almost worthless.

pz10.com......... 73% of traffic is from India.

He uses WhoisGuard, threatens you with legal action and then low balls you with a 10K offer?

Sounds like a domainer.

Hello,

I have not registered AdamDickers.com yet, but I am planning on it and wanted to see if you wanted to buy it from me before I did. I imagine such a name is worth a minimum of $10,000 (US) to you. If it is, let me know ASAP, preferrably before I register the domain name. Even it is worth double the registration fee, I would like to know. If it is worth the registration fee to you, just go ahead and register it yourself and quit wasting my time.

Sincerely,
Me.

I live in Melbourne now.
If you get his address from Onward, I'm happy to take out his kneecaps for a minimal fee :D
I can also do it with your choice of sporting goods.
Cricket bat - Traditional and symbolic of British oppression of India
Baseball bat - That more appropriate"across the pond" mafia feel
Golf Club - Gives it a touch of money and class
Aussie rules football - It ain't gonna be pretty.

That said, of course the traffic is Indian, it's an Indian entertainment focused site.
But if he's so keen on it, surely he should register the .in ccTLD, or just go around to another TLD.
The guy's clearly an idiot.

Sounds like it's from the George Bush school of diplomacy.

The power an idiot holds, to while away our (mine included) valuable time. If my kids were as dumb as this guy, I'd take them to the cellar and spank their behind all day long.
