Ferret Master Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 (edited) Hi, Those antis behind Bebo have been busy again and have deleted some of my albums from my homepage HERE. I have drafted a letter out and was wondering what the nice, happy, smiling anti bashers on PW think. Here it is: Hi, I appear to have been reported for 'abuse' and I have had 2 of my albums removed from my homepage. I assume this is because of the anti-foxhunting lobby which is constantly harassing me and threatening me because of what I believe in. I reported someone last week who swore rather disgustingly at me several times on my homepage because I support hunting and have been known to do a spot of birdwatching. I have not had a response back about that person and here are a few things he said to me: 'hello there old chap, i'm partial to a bit of fox hunting myself you know. i don't mind a little bit of bird watchin either, HA! you ***** geek wot a sad plonker! haha' 'fight me!, i'll *** all the way 2 ****** chippenham or whereever in the scummiest country in the world (Engngland) just 2 pound ure face u ugly ****** thing' It seems that anti hunters can get away with saying stuff like that to me because I am pro hunt but I have images of my dead pets after what a fox did to them and the dispatched fox removed from my homepage. I have a warning at the top of my page telling anybody that is going to be offended by perfectly legal country activities and pictures to leave my homepage now so they are not offended. From my perspective you are allowing me to be actively discriminated against by yourselves and anti-hunters by not repremanding them for unsuitable behaviour towards pro-hunters. Why do you not allow a balanced arguement on Bebo? I have come to the conclusion that as soon as people disagree with who I am, they report me and you fail to notice any wrong doing on anybody's part but the repored person in question... unless they are anti-hunt in which case it appears they can get away with it if abusing pro-hunters. Perhaps if you looked at their homepages you would see far more grusome pictures than what I had. I appreciate that some people may find my pictures distressing and I agree they are distasteful pictures but show what foxes do to pet ducks very well and if they cannot accept this then they should have not looked at them just like the notice above the album suggests. Also could you kindly tell me what was wrong with the pictures removed as you left similar pictures alone in my other albums? Please reply as I am interested in your enforcement of your terms and conditions to different groups of people depending on their views. Oliver If anybody has any suggestions on how to improve my e-mail before I send it please say! FM Edited October 26, 2006 by Axe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Tidy it up for spelling/punctuation/grammar, Oliver. Start it with Dear Sir/Madam, and end it with Yours faithfully,. Just make it more formal. Personally I think that sites like MySpace and Bebo just invite trouble, no matter how much I sympathise with your intentions - there are seemingly hordes of idle and mindless scrotes that harrass the innocent on those websites.

pin Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I applaud your spirit Ollie, its commendable that you try and fight this. I don't want to rain on your parade but the terms and conditions of Bebo (and others) have you over a barrel. They can, at will, remove any and all content for any reason they like without giving a reason. When a contentions issue like this comes up they will just hide behind the T's and C's. Crappy state of affairs, but that's life I am afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il cacciatore Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Even although I believe Bebo's censorship is deplorable, your using their site free of charge and are therefore a guest of theirs. Hence their right to censorship. Just putting their argument forward - it doesn't reflect my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theskyfox Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Hi Mate, Tbh I really wouldn't get too worked up about it. Looking at your profile and the people who left nasty comments theyre mostly townie kids. Theyre not even old enough to buy a packet of cigarettes tbh...(I totally agree with King ratcatcher)...and being from the city wouldnt understand properly about countryside management and how foxes do so much damage. I must admit until I started shooting, I was anti-fox hunting but then when I realised why it was being done and the consequences I found the right path. I wouldnt worry about it too much....and I wouldnt bother with Bebo, I think its a pile of poo....Myspace isnt too bad. Also I wouldnt keep your email address visible on bebo either...its just inviting people to spam u with rubbish. I suppose the letter is worth a go just to see what kinda response you get. As for storing your photos, give imageshack.us a go, its what I use and ive had no problems with it.*May the Pigeonwatch be with you* lol Best of luck, -Andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry d Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 You could remind them of this.....

[21st March 1997] BE IT ENACTED by the Queen's most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons, in this present Parliament assembled, and by the authority of the same, as follows:- England and Wales Prohibition of harassment. 1. - (1) A person must not pursue a course of conduct- (a) which amounts to harassment of another, and (b ) which he knows or ought to know amounts to harassment of the other.

Ferret Master Posted October 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 I don't know whether I'm just a little messed up but I love argueing with antis on MSN. One decided to delete and block me yesterday as they found my display pic (my shottie) and title (This country is going to the dogs when it should be following the hounds. A foxing we will go TALLY HO!) offensive and demanded that I changed it as she found it very offensive and rude. she said if I found her title offensive she would change it. :( I told her trying to please everyone especially people I don't know that disagree with me and everything that I do is the fast track route to failure. I don't get many antis on MSN though, generally inviting a few pro-hunters into the conversation armed with the correct facts works. James and Tom, you know who you are! The funniest thing is that they deleted the fox and ducks but left the spoils of various rabbiting trips up for all to see! Ahh well, it keeps me occupied.
