Why do you care? It is unlikely he will ever succeed if you are executing well and he just copies you. Also, you have the .com (i.e. the domain people will actually type in and go to by default). He has the .org (i.e. the domain that no one will ever think to go to).

Brush your shoulders off and focus on the important stuff.

From an execution standpoint, I fully agree with you. That's what I did when we first found out that the domain had been registered and saw the site he had put up. I collected information and then left it alone to focus on our March 1st launch.

Now that he is being more aggressive, it's rude and a nuisance. He setup a similar facebook group to ours with a hyphen in the name instead of a space; He is tweeting about it and it's showing up in our name searches; etc.

Also, he is offering something similar to what we are offering as a (very inexpensive) service, for free; Which is just annoying and potentially confusing.

Trying not to focus on it. Serenity Now. :)
