Editorial note: A high-level authority said that writing about this is lawful; it's OK to publish and there is "no law against it".

TO avoid time-wasting (which is what they aim for) we'll keep this Monday's article short and to the point. There was more in the sister site last week.

The short story is, there have been attempts to censor this site by fooling the hosts and even threatening the hosts. One reader once asked: "Is there any sign that our messages have gotten through to a person and that they have actually read the police reports? The hosting provider needs to be enlightened that the reporters are under active investigation for ongoing, online harassment of two UK citizens."

The posts "they" complain about merely point out the facts about this harassment and doxing. The reports come from America, not the UK. The targets of harassment and doxing abiding British citizens without any arrest records, unlike the reporters.

As we said last year, the host already understands what it's dealing with, so it is binning any of these frivolous complaints. No more waste of time.

As I put it last year: "The latest report comes from a person who has been abusing IRC this morning and was blocked by our moderators. Many sites and networks banned this person after campaigns of impersonation, harassment, and repeated threats. The person is (clinically) mentally unfit. Lies are being told, including perjury (deliberate, too), e.g. that we doxed someone (we never did, it's exactly the opposite). The reporter is under criminal investigation in the UK for harassment and doxing of UK citizens and his contact with the hosting provider is merely him continuing his criminal behaviors."

Some time in the future we'll show that the harassment against us may constitute a federal crime in Canada. We just can't be bothered to pursue this, as that would mean more time-wasting and - by virtue of time-wasting - help the militants.

Anyway, back to Techrights now. We'll carry on next Monday (on these side issues).
