[IMC-bristol] An Apology: About My Email

[James Venables]

Hello BIMC & Crash,

I would just like to clarify the problems I've been having with my 
email, & why I recently got so annoyed at it being further distributed 
by IMC, & why I now appreciate that my anger at BIMC was misdirected.

Having done a google search myself I can see that this email is now 
irreversibly in the public domain. The extent to which my email is in 
circulation, & the extent to which I am associated with the anti-war 
movement means that I receive huge quantities of poisonous mail, & 
unknown amount of poisonous mail is also put out under my name.

There are certainly attempts being made to slur my name, but I am now 
adjusting to that, & accept that it will now be a permanent feature of 
my political life. I can also now see that these attempts to slur my 
name are evidence of the success I have had, & am having upon those who 
are made uncomfortable by such success.

I am also now learning that making flippant remarks in a public domain 
as if I was in a pub conversation is not wise, as these remarks are 
being watched like hawks & used as fuel for the imaginations of those 
with a poison pen bearing my name.

I am happy to have made myself the target of these shadowy people, but I 
am sorry to have misdirected my anger & energies upon all you wonderful 
people at Bristol Indymedia.

Best wishes,

James Venables
