Perhaps, you have read my previous story on MySpace deleting its atheist and agnostic group together with 35,000 members. If not, it is available here [1]. Anyway, I decided to send them an e-mail to complain about what happened:
With great sadness I was informed that the Atheist and Agnostic Group has been deleted from your site. I personally find it as a disgusting case of blunt discrimination against 35,000 members. Is this what your company is all about? Since when does your company give in to religious bigotry? I guess Freedom Of Speech is not part of your vocabulary.
I am not expected to receive a clear answer for this, but at least you should be aware that we won't be silent. It is the 2008th year of the New Era and we won't give in to your bigotry. Enough is enough.
Yours Sincerely,
[ name withheld ]
I was not expected them to answer but they did, so here it's their reply:
Hello,
Please send the
link/URL of the group in question. The URL is the profile's web
address. It is found after 'http:// [2]'
towards the top of your browser, in the web address bar. The URL most likely
looks like one of the following 'www.myspace.com/example [3]' or ' http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=0000000&Mytoken=984C708D- [4]
C554-1446-8130110631E7300053636285 [5]' or something similar.
Thank you,
MySpace.com
Is it me or did they try to insult my intelligence? It seems that the person who replied is not one of their brightest cookies. So, this is what I replied back:
Hello back,
Well if the group has been deleted how am I supposed to provide you with its URL? I presume you are not aware of this? http://www.secularstudents.org/node/1933 [6]
Kind Regards
Finally, after a few days they replied:
Hello, Your participation and feedback are highly valued.
So, shall I comment on that or not? I think, that perhaps it is the first time that stupidity and incompetence are so faking obvious that I need not comment on it. What do you think? Yours comments are welcomed.
