Normally, I don't post or discuss the unique crank e-mail I get from the world
|
|
at large. I assume you can figure out that running a site like textfiles.com brings
|
|
out some interesting folks, with some very special things to say to me.

However, this showed up in my e-mail box today:

Subject: Anarchist Files on your site
|
|
|
|
Hello. Im with the Anti Internet Lamer Group COPSL. (COVERT
|
|
OPERATIONS LAND) We try and eliminate lamers, warez, and anarchists.
|
|
We have been looking through some anarchist sites. We found you had a
|
|
section on anarchists. I realize you have many mirror Sites. But you
|
|
could help us by taking down or removing some files from your
|
|
anarchist section on your MAIN site. Personally, I learned allot from
|
|
your site on other sections. I used to goto it alot untill I got up
|
|
in this Anti Lamer thing. Please help us fight lamers by doing the
|
|
above. Its your choice. Remove all anarchist files, remove most, or
|
|
some. We also know that many people get their information from your
|
|
site. And Anarchy is not a good thing. I hate this part but I must do
|
|
it as a COPSL Agent. We have to make a statement. "We have taken down
|
|
many anarchist sites before for not cooroperating with us. Not only
|
|
have we reported them to their web server hosts, but we have reported
|
|
each member affiliated to them to their ISP and the FBI Offices that
|
|
are on anti civilian Anarchy. They have all been delt with to the
|
|
fullest extent of the law. Sites that have some anarchy material in
|
|
them, we have asked to remove that material. Most go with it but the
|
|
ones that don't get shut down and reported to their ISP's. So the
|
|
Covert Operations Land asks you to take down any material that has
|
|
any connections with information on anarchy. Thank You."
|
|
|
|
So, Jason, We have noted it. We sent this on the 6th. After you have
|
|
taken action, you MUST e-mail us after. This must happen within 20
|
|
days, or else we'll have to take action. Thanks.

Obviously, the years of sandblast-like front-line experience of running my websites
|
|
means that I'm not exactly running to delete the (general) section that Mr. Operative
|
|
has demanded I remove. But I figure I can piece out some of what's so wrong with his
|
|
writing for a moment, and make people understand the (actual) danger here.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The poor spelling in the letter usually indicates youth, although I've been burned by
|
|
that assumption before, but let's assume he's under 25, because one usually knows
|
|
how to spell "dealt" after their first quarter-century. If that's so, then we have
|
|
someone who may very likely be telling me how to conduct myself online when I've been
|
|
online for longer than he's been alive. Very poor, sir.
|
|
<P>
|
|
What I think bothers me here is using the spectre of the FBI and threats to my
|
|
ISP to tell me to censor myself. Life in this world is tough enough (I spend hundreds
|
|
of dollars to run TEXTFILES.COM without taking any sort of ad banners or trying
|
|
to sell anyone anything) and the times we're currently living through too filled
|
|
with stupid initiatives and overboard reactiveness to not make one pause, even if
|
|
for the merest second, over such a threat. It is not to be used lightly, to bring
|
|
the forces of the government down upon someone else. Lives have been wrecked
|
|
over nothing by crying a false alarm and shouting "J'accuse" at someone because
|
|
you decided you didn't like them this week.
|
|
<P>
|
|
The website that they have at the tripod.com site (which I encourage everyone to
|
|
read) is a good example of poorly-thought out wording, cramped writing style,
|
|
and someone who thinks he's helping the world when all he's doing is making it
|
|
a little more weak, a little less open. For shame.
|
|
<P>
|
|
I invite the users of TEXTFILES.COM to write to
|
|
<A HREF="mailto:blackops55@covertoperations.zzn.com?subject=*TEXTFILES.COM*">COPSL</A>
|
|
and give your perspective on their requests and mission.
|
|
<P>
