[IMC-bristol] COMPLAINT

Hello Bristol IMC,

I'm now underlining my complaint. (Re: squabbling online)

My email was forwarded to Jografer without my permission by 
crash at subsection.org.uk. It may well be the case that Jografer is anyway 
on this list, & already in possession of it, but I do not use my email 
on Bristol IMC as I do not wish it to be public to those on Bristol IMC.

This isn't a minor complaint. I do not want my email to be forwarded to 
others who use Bristol Indymedia when I have not myself provided it. 
This is a very serious abuse. I want this addressed, & I demand an 
immediate apology from crash at subsection.org.uk, or the suspension of 
his/her IMC access codes while this abuse is addressed.

Please see my reply (re: squabbling online) for my views on the nature 
of the initial email sent by crash at subsection.org.uk.  As you all know I 
have made complaints before on issues of baiting & threats of violence. 
I do not believe that this thread was that serious an example of the 
former (as an on-topic debate was still being had within the thread), & 
in no way an example of the latter.

I do however accept that IMC volunteers have a right to interject, but I 
will not tolerate a clumsy infringement of my right to privacy, & I will 
not tolerate attempts to enforce dubious breeds of political correctness 
via a disingenuous portrayal of censorship as guidelines. I politically 
reject PC & will therefore in absolutely no way, shape or form agree at 
any level to be bound by it's prudish, censorious & patronising ethos.

James
