Dear LiveJournal user pro2, Thank you for your reply. The subject line, "Christopher Darby needs killing," is indeed the piece of content we are referring to as being inciteful of violence, as the casual observer would read it to mean that you are encouraging individuals to kill Christopher Darby. Editing the entry to remove such references would be considered appropriate compliance as per the e-mail you received. Additionally, for privacy- and security-related reasons, we are unable to discuss with you the identity of the individual who reported you to the LiveJournal Abuse Team.

Sent: Sunday, October 29, 2006 8:36 PM Did you get my email offering to withdraw the heading yet? I will do this under protest while I make arrangements to move to a less arbitary and censorious blog environment. Any ' casual' reader can leave a comment under any of my posts to clarify any ambiguity. Also I believe any vexatious complainant should be put in direct touch with the accused as this is natural justice 101. The accused has a right to confront their accuser and settle their concerns before any formal proceedings are commenced - let alone sanctions! You are leaving yrself wide open for a quite disturbing ' Star chamber' style of abrupt censorship of an entire year or mores work and that is totally unacceptable. Maybe for some sort of 'enlightened-despotism' it could be acceptable but I thought you were better than that for some reason. Anyway please give me my 24 hours to fix this and then enough time to move right out. You make me sick and the smell in here is making me sicker.

True story

There was this president from Texas in the sixties who was famous for her loud mouthed rants delivered while astride a toilet. She once famously accused a perceived opponent of relentlessly buggering a sow. While informed that the individual concerned was not into beastiality she then said, ' Yeah sure...I know that! But just let the sonuvabitch deny it!'
Well I can't deny anything you've said yet darling Enema CointelPRO.

I did fuck a sow up the arse once - I cannot tell a lie.

So I dobbed her in. Receipt no 12862541 means that at least she's right about one thing - I am a police informant...even if it took her repeated reminders. Thanks sweetheart - one good turn deserves another.

Just do us all a favour and get a blood test will you. You are freaking people out.

Attempt to gag Aussie blogger
by pr • Friday October 27, 2006 at 05:16 PM

Well it was only a matter of time before the same ' Manchurian global' chickens that helped build the Golden Shield came home to roost

And on top of that the last empires, military-entertainment complex just declared war in cyberspace as well!
The timing to gag bloggers in the free world is a sign of just how desperate the last empire truly is. To think that we would just forget that millions died in WW2 so that we could express our opinions freely!

How pathetic of them. Here is whats happened so far...
Dear LiveJournal user pro2,

It has recently come to our attention that your journal entry, located
at http://pro2.livejournal.com/1634340.html, contains incitement to
cause violence on another individual. This is a violation of the Terms of
Service (http://www.livejournal.com/legal/tos.bml), to which you agreed
when you created your account.

As such, we must require that you delete the entry as soon as possible,
but no later than Saturday, October 27th 2006 at 12:01AM EDT. Failure
to do so by this deadline will result in further action being taken
against your account.

RESPONDED...

Sorry but I just don't see it.
Could you please specify where the incitement is exactly?
If you take the comment heading the wrong way I suppose that could mean I think Chris needs killing but thats not what I meant. I mean the organization he works for obviously needs kidnapping, torturing and yes, killing to maintain its funding. I can't help the fact that any language contains ambiguity but if you be a little more specific then I can edit the entry in a spirit of good faith and diplomatic compromise.
Also as confronting yr accuser is a well known and sound principle of natural justice and good faith dealings in any free democracy I would like to know who complained about this obvious misunderstanding. By dealing with them directly I might then help free up yr staff for more important and substantive breachs.
Yrs cordially

I've received a reciept number for that response and will report further developments here when they pry my cold stiff fingers from the touchpad. Anyone aware of a blogging service that does not harrass it's members with vexatious and frivolous complaints - similar to that received by the ABC - then I would appreciate yr leads. TIA.
DAY LATER - checked email and should add that the receipt no I got was machine generated. I still have no response to my appeal for natural justice above and this looks pretty machine generated as well...

Dear LiveJournal user pro2,

On October 24th, 2006, we sent you an e-mail indicating that your

Now I've offered to scratch the whole post ( and will move it here asap ) so that is the state of play. I've also asked them if they got my first email. This process stinks if all the Saudies, Chinese or CIA have to do is complain anonymously to remove a blogger. Live journal you are not looking good at this point - please restore my faith in human nature, inalienable human and civil rights and natural justice by providing a little basic, bedrock, elementary due process post-dark ages.
TIA - pr
