Activism Change

Please Help Me…

Question:

I need help from other users of the Internet.  A few days ago I replied to a message from a person I didn’t know, I guess she didn’t know me either.  She reported me to my ISP for spamming, even though I was just responding to her earlier message.  My ISP seems to think that it doesn’t matter, there was a complain and they have decided to shut down my account.  I have appealed the decision, and there will be a hearing on Oct 29 1996.  

post your message in alt.activism? In any event,  if yout ISP  is that norrow-minded and censorious, why not dump THEM,  if there is a suitable alternative in Durban, Manitoba?   I look forward to your help, please send any messages of support to

If the facts above are correct,  I think your ISP is extremely narrow-minded and unfair, to say the least.  It sounds like the thin edge of the wedge towards censorship and you were treated very shabbily by your ISP. You are, Sir, a gentleman by the fact that you didn’t name this medieval-thinking ISP. I can only hope that, at  your  "hearing",  your account will be re-instated and you will not be handled,  in what  appears so far, to be a very arbitrary manner. Your ISP should explore the values of free speech and fairness.
