The Botak has once again shown his true colours and has decided to stay hidden behind his keyboard despite David Tapp's invitation to The Botak to confront him with his issues.........Botak declined......typical....gutless.
Here is an extract of the correspondance:
This was sent 22/6/03
Dear Botak,
I have spent some time looking at more of your defamatory statements over the past hour courtesy of Rabbitohs.com and I would like to invite you to have a meeting with me as soon as possible.
I would be delighted if you could find the time somewhere in your very busy schedule to contact me in an effort to arrange a mutually acceptable time for us to get together.
As your comments posted on websites such as Rabbitohs.com are very often completely incorrect it's apparent we will have much ground to cover, subsequently I suspect our meeting may take quite a while.
During our discussion I will take the time to explain why it's highly inappropriate for you to continue your defamatory and bitter attacks against me and other people associated with the Rabbitohs. I will also clarify the facts involving several aspects of the club's activities all of which you're not even close to reporting correctly at the present time.
If you wish to clarify any material whatsoever for your website postings I am more than happy to speak to you. That way you will always have your facts right and to be blunt that would make a change wouldn't it?. May I suggest you and I having a meeting in the very near future would be an ideal place to start? What have you got to lose afterall?
If for some reason you're unable to make the journey to Redfern I am more than happy to come to your house or meet you at a venue more suitable to you.
I can be reached during business hours on 02 8306 9900.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours Sincerely
David Tapp
Chief Executive Officer
South Sydney District
Rugby League Football Club Limited
This is the CEO of a company turning over $10 million a year?????
My questions - why would I meet with this person? So he could lie to me face to face? So he could use the Lahoods' and the South Coogee Faction nasty boys to work me over? The truth does not come from this man nor out of the shadowy thugs who are his masters.
Tapp then posted this on this forum under the 'Tapp Principle' thread on www.rabbitohs.com on 30/6/03:
Botak - a Liar and a Coward
I've been reading Botak's disgraceful lies for far too long. His comments are pathetic, defamatory and completely without foundation.
Every statement posted by Botak on this thread is completely incorrect.
Having grown tired of Botak's pathetic attacks on my credibility I emailed him last week to invite him to attend a meeting in my office so I could clarify the points that he appears to be having the most trouble with with. I refer of course to everything!
I might add I even offered to go to his house just in case it was too difficult for Botak to travel to Sydney. Yes folks he lives out of town you could say.
So far, sadly, the great Botak has failed to respond! When will you reply guru?
I will prove categorically every statement Botak has made about me and other representatives of the SSDRLFC on this website are completely without foundation.
The facts are Botak is given regular information, all of which is incorrect, by bitter former employees of the club, all of whom have very personal agendas. In fact good old Botak has a few agendas of his own. Rejection can sometimes do that to people.
I would once again like to invite Botak to have the courage of his convictions. Come forward you living legend and prove your disgraceful allegations.
You know where to contact me Botak.

Several points and questions here -
If Tapp is willing to post on this forum and believes he can refute what has been posted then let him do so. Tapp has plainly stated he can prove what he says - let him do so.
What is the CEO of an NRL club doing lurking on the web on June 30 when all other NRL CEOs are getting their house in order and attempting to sign new players to pursue better performance on and off field?
If as Tapp has claimed the things posted are untrue then why is he worried about them?
Why is a CEO surfing websites to see what people think about him?
Tapp's lack of judgement in this is evidence enough that he is far out of his depth in his job.
Where is Tapp's lawsuit? He claimed he had identified The Botak some time ago on the Souths official forum, he claimed on AAP and News Ltd that he was pursuing legal action - as yet there has been no action.
The language and manner of these writings by Tapp show someone arrogant and less than competent at the level he is employed. We have already seen an incompetent ex-board member in Chris Wilson come on this forum, now David Tapp is following suit. The strategy is clearly coming from the one master - Nolene Piggins.
This lawsuit tactic was offered up by none other than Nolene at the AGM against Wade Singleton. The idea is that you counter fact with threats and try to discredit that way. But it is hollow, because Nolene knows she cannot take Wade to court because what is being posted is the truth - just as David Tapp knows it.
(As an aside here, when David Tapp was sponsorship manager his calls were routinely audited and it was found that he rang Mrs Piggins up to 5 and 6 times a day)
Lastly - Tapp claims I did not reply to him, yet another lie as I sent a reply on the weekend when I first saw the email.
My reply was one word.........................RESIGN!
