5 August (Part 2) - Still here
As you will have noticed, Bonkers is still on line despite the Stop Go Ape
(SGA) people asking my web host to take it down.
Just to be clear the hosting company has not asked me to change anything, all
they said was that re-posting the SGA Group’s Facebook
announcement slagging me off for describing
a random crowd waiting for a bus as a Gaggle was causing stress or distress
(I forget exactly what they said) to their Administrator.
As I am, the webhost may have been puzzled by the suggestion that publishing
their criticism of me to SGA’s 300 followers on Facebook was stress free but
repeating it on Bonkers merited legal threats because the author was distressed
by it. Publication is something to laugh about but
re-publication is shaming. It defies logic.
The hosting company made no comment on the allegation that I had ‘stolen’ a Facebook comment referencing myself.
Illogical though the SGA leaders may be I have
no wish to cause any vulnerable person stress so I modified
the offending page somewhat. In order to protect my sources
I had implied that I stumbled across SGA’s Facebook comments accidentally which
was I think interpreted as me having hacked into their Private Group.
In fact it was sent to me by a Member of their Group who presumably found the
Administrator’s glee about having a go at me somewhat distasteful. Obviously I
do not really care if someone has failed to check the word Gaggle in a
dictionary but it did seem worthwhile to give BiB readers some idea of who they might be supporting.
The SGA GoFundMe page
is struggling. Think twice before you donate to it.
