Thats just plain nasty. I guess our collective efforts to unmask and out this criminal have chapped his ass a little, so he's taking it personally - good. I will redouble my efforts to make life as difficult as possible for this guy.
As a suggestion it might be worth emailing the web admin of the hosting site about misrepresentation and deception, and request the "flightgear.us" domain be taken down - as Peter says it is clearly being used to deceive people.

Chris Wilkinson, YBBN/BNE.

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with things, but have flightsim.com and simmarket.com run the statement yet?If not I'm sure I can get it on their weekly mailing lists and front pages, been friends with the owners for many years.I would also suggest that if you've got a Facebook account that you spend
some time searching within "Flight simulator". Look for the
"proflightsim" phony box art to locate their pages and report them as a
scam to FB. I've opened "THIS IS A SCAM" discussions on many of the
pages. The most entertaining of the threads has unfortunately, been
deleted. (I'm not sure how insulting it is when someone yells, "You Zero
Affiliate!", but it was pretty damn funny.) It appears that the
sock-puppet hurling those "insults" has also been removed from FB, so it
does do SOME good to report this crap to them.
Thanks!

Just to add some new info -
The flightsim guys (people?) just registered and has public a new website, "Flightgear.us". It's listed as a new group on Facebook, and the whois trace shows Tel Aviv, Isreal as the address, although hosted by a company in Burlington, MA USA as listed below -
They are getting more aggressive - and this is direct attack to deceive. It's dated today, 12/13/10.
