By sending such a message, it appears that you only want to promote your domain, "WhoisSecurity.com" and nothing else.
Anti-abuse-wg is not the right forum for you to promote your domain, or to attract visitors to your site.
In case you do not know, Anti-abuse-wg is a forum within RIPE. The RIPE NCC is one of five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) providing Internet resource allocations, registration services and coordination activities that support the operation of the Internet globally.
As representatives from the RIPE NCC can confirm, "ripe.net" is not like other websites that you visit and have no contacts. You can easily find go to RIPE contact page, http://www.ripe.net/contact, and contact them.
The issue here is not about knowing anyone at RIPE personally, but it is about not promoting "WhoisSecurity.com" domain in this forum. This does not mean that "WhoisSecurity.com" is bad.

To whom it may concern at Help.Org,
If you all think that writing such a meaningless e-mail and sending it anonymously will get you anywhere, you are sadly mistaken.
The "anti-abuse-wg" is an open forum where interested individuals discuss abuse related matters in connection with Whois directories. Everyone who participate in these discussions identifies himself/herself as a professional courtesy.
By calling anti abuse issues "worthless", Help.Org staff who has sent this meaningless e-mail diminishes its credibility.
By hiding behind "Help.Org" and "whoissecurity.com" domains, you show your unwillingness to engage in the ongoing discussions professionally here.
