Here's the e-mail we sent to Steph. She posted it on ADT along with her own comments. I should also not that we've been blocked from ADT.

Due to this email that I received from DVD Exotic I have removed the posts about customers having problems with their store. While this person claims that I ignored their emails that is not true. It is true that we did not want to represent DVD Exotic on our site after it was sold to Vidshop.
As this email threatens "further action" if DVD Exotic is mentioned on our site we ask that you do not post about this store.

Hello,
I have a problem with the topics posted on you site about mine. I would like them removed at once. If you have the power to lock a topic after placing your own responses, then you must have the power to simply delete them. I would also appreciate it if any further discussion of my site is found on yours ( whether good or bad ) to be removed as well. If you cannot do this I will be forced to explore further action. Comments that you have made were of a very negative nature and you've allowed no varying opinion to be expressed. While we understand that this is your forum and you can do what you will, we have already in the past attempted to to work with you. Of your own choosing you've felt that it has been best to continue to ignore us and/or refuse to ackwoledge our previous e-mails with any sincerity. The only comments we see from you or Drew are expressly negative. So Please just remove any post regarding our site and keep anything else about us off your boards.
Thank You,
Stacy Rook

Yes, the letter was strong of nature, but we felt that we had no choice given her actions. We simply feel that it is not right to prevent any discussion or opinion in a forum.
