re: previous post (just re-edited this from my enturbulation post)

A few hours after I posted the previous entry, I get an email from my host (1&1 Internet) stating the following:

Dear *******, (Customer ID: ******) Thank you for continuing to use 1&1 Internet. We sincerely apologize for contacting you regarding this matter, but multiple complaints have been directed to us regarding a recent entry on your site Right Where You Are Sitting Now! - Exploring the Underground and Counterculture…so you don\’t have to! Please call us re: at your earliest convieniance (lol they can’t spell) quoting your customer reference number ********. In the meantime, if you would consider temporarily removing the entry, we would appreciate it.

so I call them, and low and behold, the ‘recent entry’ is my coverage of the ENG court summons. I then asked them if they could name the the complainer’s and what their beef was. Apparantly the complaints all came in in the period of an hour (alarm bells, amirite?) and only two of complainer’s left their names, one was a ‘Mark Bunker’ the other was the name of my Mother!!!!

I told them that a.) I doubted that Mark Bunker would have logged this complaint as he is a anti-COS activist and that b.) the second complainer happens to share the same name as my Mother. They then decided that the whole thing was probably a ‘prank’ and that they were sorry to have bothered me.

This whole thing has freaked me out a bit, especially the bit where whoever called used my Mothers name. I have a history with the church, I was harassed during my Masters Degree for researching them, and later when an article I wrote for an academic journal critiquing their personality test was proposed. anyway, just thought I would let you guys know.
