There were people who contacted him and volunteered to try to help by
trying to pursuade their employers to sell bw to Flashback. When these
people did not succeed their employers was published on Axelssons
blacklist as a "thank you for you trying to help".

I had great respect for Axelsson before this incident, after seeing his 
behaviour more up close I nowadays loathe him for his methods.

Let's put it this way:

Nobody is an angel in this mess, definately not Axelsson.
