From the Desk of JackAdams (sent to me in an e-mail): Mr. Finkel, I’m somewhat disappointed with your knee-jerk reaction/decision to attempt to ban me from Fluther, and I refuse to accept it. As I have previously (and publicly) stated, I intend to remain a participating member of The Collective, until November 1, 2008. As information, I own five fully functioning computers, each with their own individual IP address, and I have no less than 16 different e-mail addresses, from 16 different websites. Many months before signing on to Fluther as “JackAdams,” I signed on with at least two other accounts, neither of which uses this e-mail address, nor the computer I am currently using. So, as I said, I will continue to be an active participant in Fluther (on those other accounts) until November 1, 2008, as per my original plans, and I will do so, with impunity. You may have banned the fictional “JackAdams,” but you have not banned me, and it is impossible for you to do so, without deleting the entire website. But, if you think you might be able to find my other two accounts, you are certainly encouraged to do so. Kindest personal regards, “Jack Adams” —- On Mon, 10/13/08, Ben Finkel <XXXXX> wrote: From: Ben Finkel <XXXXXXXX> Subject: Your Fluther Account To: XXXXXXX Date: Monday, October 13, 2008, 11:01 PM JackAdams, The moderation team has reached a unanimous decision to ban you. It’s a little ironic since you were planning on leaving anyway, but if all you’re going to use your remaining time for is to kick up more of a fuss and to spam users with removed content, we’re not inclined to let it go simply because you’re already on your way out. We understand that you didn’t find what you were looking for in Fluther, and that’s a shame. But the Internet is a big place, and you’ll find a community right for you somewhere. If you want us to send your contact details to anyone in particular, we’re happy to do that. You can no longer login to your Fluther account, or create a new account, effective immediately. Sorry it didn’t work out. Sincerely, The Fluther Team
