Hate Mail

This one is pretty good.

Hey anti-Semite,

How the fuck do I get my membership cancelled from your disgusting, bigoted, rightwing site. Why the fuck don’t you respond to members’ inquiries. Too busy calling for attacks on Jewish civilians? If I start posting tons and tons of extremely nasty comments will that work?

Please advise. It degrades any civillized person to be associated with such right-wing tripe, and I want out.

Username is [deleted]. Get me off your fucking site you fucking bigot. ASAP.

For the record, when you create a user account here (or anywhere else) and make comments or write diaries, you do so without any right to have your scribblings deleted at a later time. A free user account is not a subscription or an official membership that brings reciprocal obligations on my part. The reasons I will delete something are:

1. It opens me up to legal jeopardy.
2. It grossly violates the Community Standards.
3. A user requests I delete something they’ve incautiously disclosed that may impact their privacy or job prospects.

The Scoop software doesn’t even have a mechanism for deleting user accounts. I can cut off your ability to comment, but I can’t delete your account from the database or erase their record from google caches.

So, write at your own risk. I know you are proud to associate with this right-wing, anti-Semitic site, and fully endorse attacking civilians. If you didn’t, why would you be here?
