[IMC-bristol] Re: squabbling online

[James Venables]

 Hello Crash,

 Well, I do disagree with you. I disagree with political correctness, so
 to receive an email expecting it to be arbitrarily enforced is
 unacceptable, laughable, & couldn't be more patronising. I have
 previously complained about threats of violence against others on this
 list, which isn't free speech, & the only unacceptable thing to my
 mind.

 But I don't find the language used on this exchange unacceptable, & you
 have made yourself look entirely silly, painfully PC, & entirely
 childish by taking offence to it in this way. Especially as the nature
 of the complaint was against PC, so to attempt to enforce the very
 issue being contested is a joke, & I therefore choose to entirely
 ignore your request.

 I DO HOWEVER HAVE A COMPLAINT TO MAKE .

 I didn't give my email online, so this email from you is entirely
 unsolicited. You've also forwarded it to Jografer without my
 permission. Don't use it again without my permission, which includes
 you not replying to this email, except to give an immediate apology for
 forwarding my email without my permission. I expect this apology to be
 immediately forthcoming.

 James
