On April 9, 2004 a group of gay haters supposedly reported my
fan-fiction group 'Rogues and Spies from the Underworld' to yahoo and
had it destroyed somehow. I cannot understand why Yahoo would delete my
group, as it was in the adult
section and contained lesbein and gay erotica, nothing abusive, and as
far as I can see did not break any of Yahoo's TOS. There disclaimers
all over my group that it was understood that our material was
fiction-based, humor and
politically diverse.
The people who had it destroyed were several christian anti-gay
crusaders who started abusing me and my fellow members because of some
of our members' sexual persuasion, and then told us they were going to
have our group hacked, and the next hour it was gone. We have tried
contacting Yahoo several times, but they have just ignored us and seem
to be siding with these bigots, which makes us worry that it was an
inside job as one of the gay haters named Chuck DeZarn, who worked at a
UNIX firm in Louisville, KY, has bragged that he has several friends
who work in yahoo, and that he would use them to close our group down
because he hates gays.
This all started when one of our members joined a star wars
discussion forum to ask a question about collecting figures and
happened to post the link in one of his posts to generate a friendly
yahoo group sharing environment our because it had several star wars
slash stories, three gay hating people from this list, Chuck Dezern
being one of them, decided to target us and became very abusive and
started sending very derogitory messages on and off-list.
Their Addies are :
cdez...@bellsouth.net
chuckca...@yahoo.com
natnu...@yahoo.com
mgunne...@yahoo.com
bkohllep...@hotmail.com
rogueace2...@yahoo.com
We are now contacting the ACLU, The Gay and Lesbein rights society, the
FTC, bigclassaction.com, UNIX, the postmasters of the individual
providers and also lawyers as we have lost several original stories and
fan-fiction which cannot be replaced and a YEAR'S worth of hard work
and many members' personal photo collections.
I would hope that Yahoo will reinstate my group, and take action
against the real criminals here, as the gay population have been
victimised long enough...
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
