O.k. I understand.

Thanks for writing back and taking the "under construction"
sign off as I think it has stopped my submissions to
google and yahoo from going through.

Now I know how Oliver Stone felt.

Ok, they have decided to leave the site down due to having more
potential problems. But I have removed the site name so it shouldn't
cause problems on the search engines anymore, sorry about this whole
mess.

Any word yet?

I noticed that my page now says "under construction",
whereas when it was first taken down it said it
didn't exist or it had been closed.

If you are not going to restore it, could you remove
the page completely so it will not affect
search engine resubmissions using another url?

Thank-you.

p.s. I have noticed some pages you host which seem
quite a bit more controversial in the same genre.

Still think my page is fair comment, you will note
I allow full rebuttal in the guestbook and discussion
board, whereas their pages that attack my site, and other
similar sites, offer no such right of reply.

What type of critique of this organization would be
acceptable to 50 Megs?

I could modify the site if you could tell me which area's
you find violate the terms of service.

Thank you for your email.
I understand where you are coming from, your site case has been
escalated higher up for review, since we can't make it on our own.
Please keep in touch until this whole thing is done.

O.K.

There's five million of them.

Hopefully they all haven't complained to you. Yet.

They don't seem to mind ridiculing their critics
on their own sites though.

In addition to getting web sites shut down they
are also quite adept at getting e-mail accounts
closed, i.s.p. services revoked, books banned,
career's ruined, and lives destroyed.

Other than that they are just a run-of-the-mill charity.

Our site's has been put back up at another
url but of course all of our links and search
engine placements have been trashed so few people
can find it - except the masons - who have also
threatend to get me booted off that one as well,
and have undoubtably already commenced that "work".

http://freemasonwatch.freepress-freespeech.com/

Don't be put out by the wee temporary slag against
"corporate" web hosts and political correctness at the
bottom of the last page, I'm sure you can appreciate
how frustrated and upset we must be.

As a little interesting tid bit we have had a listing
in the conspiracies section of About.com for about
six months but the "host" has intentionally misdirected
our link to an article about the CIA's Echelon electronic
monitoring program. We have sent them three e-mails to
correct it but they won't. This could indicate some
possible conflict of interest that the "host" of this subject area at
About.com has, or the management of About.com itself.

I'm sure by noting the strident tone of the complaints you have
received from freemasons about our site, that this sort
of infantile sabotage would not be completely beyond the realm of
possiblity. In our experience with them it is exactly
the type of stunt they are famous for.

Having a masonic critical site shut down by complaints by
masons is comparable to having the Democratic Party web
site shut down after complaint's by Republican's.

A society where reasonable public criticism is not
tolerated is a sick society.

The next thing they will be doing is to try and
get Amazon.com to stop selling books that don't
flatter them sufficiently, which we have links for
on our site.

Enough said.

Webmaster

The site was closed for review, we had quite a few people upset by it,
seeing as it was exposing their beliefs and practices. We are still
reviewing the site, it's a hard call, we don't want to upset you, but we
don't want to upset all the other people of this organization either. If
you don't see any changes in the removal of you site with in a week,
please get back to me!

Sir,

Today I was unable to log into my account, on going to my
web page I found it to go to a blank page with a 50 megs
banner.

Yesterday I received numerous threats in a public
usenet group by an organized group of men, who on their own websites
libel
in the most viscious and defamatory manner anyone who has the temerity
to
question their teachings, or record any events of historical import that
they wish to sweep under the
carpet, to get my site shut down for "hate" and "harrassment".

I note that other 50megs sites are funtioning normally today.

Have you closed my account, an account which I have
spent many, many hours on, which has provided you
with over 100,000 banner impressions in only 6 months,
all the while enduring numerous service disruptions
and file manager errors, without even so much as
a note, or a chance to respond?

Are you really going to destroy all my work because
of the agenda driven complaints by a small group of
politically motiviated members of a self-admitted
secret society?

I note that you have many occult oriented pages
you host, but the difference being they all praise
the "good works" they do.

Is it the "Policy Guidelines" of 50 megs to endorse
and promote the occult with out a right of reply to those
who disagree with their teachings?

Think about what you are saying about your
company and yourselves.

At least have the human decency of responding to this e-mail
seeing that I have never bothered Support before, even during
the most intense service disruptions and file manager lock-up
periods at 50megs, which I just endured silently thinking
that you were supporting me, knowing the complaints you
must have been receiving from these men who try and get
everyone of its critics websites, e-mail accounts, and
internet service providers shut down.
