 * Again, where did I say/demand that you go and manually fix this on my site? Nowhere.
   No smear campaign, just trying to get an answer as to why it broke.

 * Show me the “smear” campaign. All I asked was why it took more than a week to
   get a response from you on the problem…and it still is not a decent answer.

    Also, please point
   out these forum posts threatening you…I really want to see them, so put the links
   here… . I think you have no clue as to what happened, and are just trying to 
   make me look bad to cover for you.

 * Um, no, the problem was NOT fixed before posting the question…I waited several
   days of hearing NOTHING from you before posting the question on my hosting providers
   forum. The fix was to delete a chunk of code. I wanted to know why the plugin
   work and, with no other changes/additions/etc. to to blog, it just quit. Worked
   great for 2 months, then just quit. I am now told it was because of a conflict
   from another plugin??? Then why did they all play well together for 2 months?

 * What rumors?? I have stated the truth, nothing more, nothing less.
    Free support?
   Really? How about just plain old support for a plugin that seems to have broke
   things. I’m not the only one to have posted this issue, and I have seen zero 
   help from the author (you) as to how to fix it other than:
 * > Wp-Insert does check if GeoIp class is already defined but still conflicts 
   > are occurring mostly from the second plugin which does not check for collisions
 * which in my case does not apply AS IT ALL WORKED TOGETHER FOR 2 MONTHS!
    Then,
   out of nowhere, poof! It stopped working. You can continue to try and make it
   look like I am in the wrong, I don’t care…I just want to know why it broke…something
   other than:
 * > Wp-Insert does check if GeoIp class is already defined but still conflicts 
   > are occurring mostly from the second plugin which does not check for collisions

 * My intentions were to show that I did NOT receive an answer from the author (
   you) as to what could be done to fix it. Fortunately, my hosting provider pointed
   me in the correct direction and I was able to fix it myself be deleting 3 blocks
   of code from the plugin.
 * It is a nice plugin…just no support. And yes, I understand it is free…but me 
   waiting for over a week to get any kind of response from you is just improper…
   you could have chimed in sooner to give some kind of advice/ask questions to 
   help troubleshoot it.

 * I am not sure on that…I do know that there had been zero updates on my sites 
   for for at least 2 weeks prior to them crashing…it just came out of the blue….
   but by removing the code above, it worked again.

 * The way I fixed it was to take this chunk of code:
 *     ```
       function geoip_country_code_by_name_v6($gi, $name) {
         $country_id = geoip_country_id_by_name_v6($gi,$name);
         if ($country_id !== false) {
               return $gi->GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODES[$country_id];
         }
         return false;
       }
   
       function geoip_country_code_by_name($gi, $name) {
         $country_id = geoip_country_id_by_name($gi,$name);
         if ($country_id !== false) {
               return $gi->GEOIP_COUNTRY_CODES[$country_id];
         }
         return false;
       }
   
       function geoip_country_name_by_name_v6($gi, $name) {
         $country_id = geoip_country_id_by_name_v6($gi,$name);
         if ($country_id !== false) {
               return $gi->GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAMES[$country_id];
         }
         return false;
       }
   
       function geoip_country_name_by_name($gi, $name) {
         $country_id = geoip_country_id_by_name($gi,$name);
         if ($country_id !== false) {
               return $gi->GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAMES[$country_id];
         }
         return false;
       }
       ```
   
 * and reduce it to this:
 *     ```
       function geoip_country_name_by_name_v6($gi, $name) {
         $country_id = geoip_country_id_by_name_v6($gi,$name);
         if ($country_id !== false) {
               return $gi->GEOIP_COUNTRY_NAMES[$country_id];
         }
         return false;
       }
       ```
   
 * And Arvixe had enabled geoip, so it was not on their end…so, any thoughts on 
   why I had to eliminate that bit of code?

 * Where did my 2 follow up posts go? The author of the plugin maybe deleted them?
   How about an answer as to how to fix the geoip error.
