As a lot of people know, Norm and I are friends. Norm has many friends on here. Even competitors know Norm and, Business aside, Like him.
So, for some reason, the Cali List has just launched this huge attack on him. Myself and various other guys have defended him. But, we don't even get a response from the people attacking him. The most prominent of these, is a guy named "Joshua" who claims to have stayed at Norm's place in March, but when asked by other members and Norm when the dates he stayed were, there as never been any response. I believe the Cali List is in on this Attack because they banned Norm the same day "Joshua" made his first post. Conviently, other "People" have joined using yahoo or hotmail accounts and are agreeing with "Joshua."
At lot of you know what I'm talking about because many of you belong to the Cali List, but I posted something today that shouldn't go unoticed and I believe the Cali List Moderator deleted my post.
These guys have committed a couple of internet crimes against Norm. the biggest is a "real" crime in that they have posted their intent of making a fraudulent report to Colombian DAS that Norm has cocaine in his home and is a user himself, for the sole purpose of damaging his business and his credibility. He has been accused of other things, in which I'll let their own post speak for themselves, in a moment. The other problems Norm is having, as defined at United States Internet Investigators (
http://unitedstates.datastar.net ), is email harassment, email threats, and internet stalking.
It's cool to bag on each others Agency, but when you are planning to make a fraudulent report to attempt to get a man in trouble for nothing, is crossing the line. And, if these idiots have nothing else to do and think their posts mean nothing, I filed a formal complaint with United States Internet Investigators. Screw 'em. I think its some High Schooler who has nothing better to do, but the Cali List is obviously in on it.
Here are examples of what these guys wrote about Norm. I wish I had them all, but Ideleted some over the stupidity. I don't even mind posting this, because even a person who hasn't even been to Norm's can see thru this crap. Please not the writing and verbage style from each post. Appear very similar, as well.
I just wanted everyone to know about this and watch if they continue this attack after they received my email about it.
First is from
colombiatraveler@nospam.com. Aka Joshua.
to: CGOCKLEY
Is that why Norm and his wife are constantly
bickering? Because Norm sleeps with the agency women?
It makes sense. Norm and his wife had some real
brawls while I was there. At first, I thought that it
would be good to use an agency with an American owner
present in Colombia. I'll never do that again. From
now on, I'm only going to use agencies with veteran
Colombian employees that are women like at Latin
Encounters. Colombian women won't sample the
merchandise like American male owners. I should have
known that's what Norm was up to.

Guys, do not use the agency of Norm Paulsen. The guy is a real sleazeball and proud of it. I stayed there for two days on my March trip to Cali. Norm never shuts up about how many women that he's banging in Cali. Keep in mind that he is married to a woman from Cali already. Paulsen has the worst case of kid in the candy store disease that I have ever seen. As I went through the books, Norm rated the sexual skills of the members that he has "experienced" as he put it. His wife isn't stupid, and she knows what's going on. It's really embarassing to sit through all of the fights that occur between the two. It goes on all day. I don't blame his wife though. I feel bad for her, actually. I was lucky that I paid for only my first two days there. I left for Latin Love after that. That's where I usually go in Cali. Much better. Latin Love isn't perfect, but it sure beats dealing with a womanizer like Norm Paulsen. Oh, don't fall for the hot air about the food at Mis Gringuitos. It's terrible. Practically inedible is more to the point. Learn from my mistake! Cali is great, just watch out for owners like Paulsen. Every trip to Cali has been a blast. Anybody else here from Florida?

Most owners of large agencies in Cali already know about Norm's reputation. Nothing stays a secret for very long in this business.
However, I have another idea. There is a police force in Colombia
similar to the FBI in this country. I don't know whether Paulsen sells cocaine, but he definitely uses it. If we tip off the Colombian FBI, then they would at least search the Mis Gringuitos house in Cali. Something is going on in Cali because Americans are getting detained by Colombian police for random drug searches in the Cali airport. Maybe it's part of Plan Colombia or something.
If they do these searches at random, then the police there will definitely do a search if they get a tip about the Mis Gringuitos house. There will be at least some cocaine in the house. But there won't be very much if Paulsen is just a user, not a dealer.
Lastly is this Knucklehead. robbarry1@nospam.com
(This one is in reponse to #2 above by gcockley@hotmail.com)It is also funny that this guy showed up and on his first day, made this statement, then gcockley promptly answered him.

It seems clear that Norm Paulsen, owner of Mis
Gringuitos, is the kind of guy that gives a bad name
to Americans and ruins Colombia for the rest of us.
It's despicable that he moved to Cali just to use as
many women as possible.
But what can we do to stop him?
What if we tell other agency owners about him? Do you
think that they could warn the women in their
agencies? Sometimes the women join several agencies.
It wouldn't take long for news to spread. That seems
like the fastest way to get rid of Paulsen.
Any other ideas?
