Subject: homophobia on your site
To: [email protected]
David,
as you haven't shown me the courtesy of responding to
my questions on the site, perhaps you will be man
enough to respond to this email.
I have made my position clear regarding my attitude
towards homophobic posts being allowed to remain on
the site, be it the Guestbook or anywhere else.
You have been quick enough to delete my posts whenever
the content of them has offended you, so why did it
take my intervention to draw attention to the
homophobia that blights the Guestbook in particular?
Rain Man has been allowed to post racist, homophobic
and just plain offensive messages on the Guestbook for
over two years, and he has NEVER been censured or
confronted by you.
You may not approve of my methods, when it comes to
getting your attention, but I am so heartily fed up of
the continuing double standards being applied.
I expect you to ignore this email, as I imagine that
you are hoping that the forthcoming Draconian measures
you are about to introduce will rid you of me once and
for all.
Most of the tinkering you have done with the site,
and, I suspect, most of the new changes you are
planning on introducing, have been aimed specifically
at preventing me from using this site.
Precisely because you have taken such a myopic
attitude, and become obsessed with my so-called
'abuses' of your site, you have completely lost
perspective and are now unable to see the forest for
the tree.
You may be the webmaster and site owner of
Morrissey-solo, but the fact that you have placed it
on the Web means that it now occupies a public space,
and I am perfectly entitled to visit, whether you like
it or not.
My point relating to your use of Morrissey's name,
while allowing such sickening homophobia to be
displayed, is a valid one.
I am sure he would be appalled by this.
Perhaps you are happy for that to be the case, as part
of your revenge for him cutting you out, due to
previous site content that he found personally
upsetting.
Anyway, just so you know, until I see evidence that
you are taking this matter seriously, I will continue
to combat it myself, using all means at my disposal.
