Please hear my call...

---

Hello, first I'm very sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread.I'm getting the word out of a terrible injustice. I will be honestwith you up front. I'm a woman, and haven't been with a partnerof my own sex BUT do have many gay and lesbian friends. Theyare the kindest people I know and none of deserved whathappened. We were targeted by zealots and bigots. Please,view this link and please, if you want to, sign our petition.Sorry for the misspellings and all. Someone did help me createit and we were in a hurry. [Link Removed]Also, please e-mail me if you can be of any help. I'm just wantingmy group back. If anyone knows a way, I'm begging you to pleasehelp me. My e-mail is on the petition's first page you see wherethe story of what happened (in a nutshell) is on it.Please help. Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeaase!Inga

Signed i hate ppl like that

WTF?

I signed. It's bigotry like that which just makes me sick.... and people claim America is making progress. Bah.

I signed it, but I have a quick question, it was probably on the petition page, but I missed it, anyway. how many signatures do you need exactly?

Done!

Thanks you guys for helping me and signing! I'm so sorry I haven't had much time to look back into this great forum lately. RL has really gotten me beat down for now! Ugh! But I do need as many signatures as I can get! The more this petition is active, the more Yahoo is gonna realize that there IS a gay community out there, that everyone should have the same rights as these so-called christians and that they just can't get away with this! Let's make some noise! Please get others to sign it. Again, I made it to where people can hide their e-mail address because I know how spambots target such sites as online-petition. i.e. Even I don't see the addies if someone chooses to hide it. Plus, me having others' addies isn't important as it's still a document that did get signatures. THAT'S ALL that matters, that there are signatures there. They can be as anonymous as they wanna be.Tell everyone that you can, to sign, pass it along if you wish and tell them that they CAN e-mail me, as my addy is right on the petition! This really happened. This is real!Also, I found out the employee that let Chuck DeZarn have access to Yahoo's server was fired from Yahoo on June 17. I can't prove it, but that's the word on the street (so-to-speak). If anyone can help obtain this info, me and my group and ESPECIALLY the lawyer would greatly appreciate it.Keep signing, spread the word and although we didn't have any porn or any of gay links to other sites, we did have members (very sweet and polite people) who were targeted for writing their own stories, not bothering anyone. We were merely a fan-fic group and we didn't just do ONE thing, we talked about anything, joked around. It was a family. Help us make the world aware of the corruption within Yahoo.Please don't hesitate to e-mail me or ask any questions. I'm here and am reaching out.

Also, I wanted to send out these links (merely so ppl can see how Yahoo is) and read some of some other victims testimonies. [Links Removed]

I happen to like yahoo and never had any negative experiences with it. I'd just like others to be aware that you can't always believe everything you hear.

Well like I said, it wasn't really Yahoo (as a whole) that did this. It was a small group who knew someone, who happened to be corrupt and enough to abuse their position. You don't have to believe it, but I was there, I saw it, I experienced it and suggesting that I'm lying is uncalled for. Just a thought.

First I never said you were lying, and second I think you need to make it clear that it wasn't Yahoo itself that did it. And thirdly I hope you contribute to this forum in ways other than promoting this, as this isn't really a site dedicated to advertising/petitions.

Look, I'm only doing what was suggested and trying to get the word out. Do you think I should talk about this on some christian forum? And it did say (on the very page) that we were worried it was an "inside job" and that's the way it turned out. I'm not trying to "advertise" anything. This is more like a cause than some scheme.And I am contributing by answering posts and talking about this. If this is going to be a "you can only talk about what we want to hear" thing, than let me know up front. I don't need ppl telling me what I should talk about. This is an issue that has touched very deeply and I'm very hurt by all this. If that's a sin or a breaking of a rule, let me know up front. As I don't need the stress of trying to pretend something I'm not. Sympathy, support and ppl to be aware that something awful happened. That's what I'm here. I didn't come here to be told what I should and shouldn't talk about about the gay issues that me and my group are facing.

I'll just shut up now.

Yahoo groups are deleted constantly for no apparent reason, you're not special

Yes it's bad if your group is deleted, but technically yahoo owns the group, it's their site, and members don't pay, so basically if they have a reason or not they can delete it.

I never said I was special. And I can take the same argument about Yahoo being great and say don't believe everything you hear...but I wanted this to be a support group for the pain that me and others are suffering. There was much work and all this same, tired old arguments don't hold any water. Why can't there just be a comforting hand rather than some sarcastic 'heh heh' or 'oh don't confuse me with a tale that don't even touch me' because maybe, just maybe this can be reversed and the people can have more say in cyber realms. As it stands now, there is much oppression. I'm feeling it here because of being attatched to a petition that gasp might be seen in a bad light.~And I'll take any risk to tie back the hands of time...~ --Rockin' The Paradise

Can you follow your previous idea In reply to: I'll just shut up now.

Yes. I will not start any other threads and will not talk about how this has hurt me and not bring up the pain associated with being treated this way for being "friends" with the wrong sort of people. You win. Kindly leave me alone and have a nice day, sir.To owner; is there any way to unsubscribe? I didn't come in here looking for a fight but...apparently it rocks the world for those who don't see yahoo being "weak". Sorry about bringing the truth from some far off place. It happened. There it is. And now I know there's no support for me here to even stress about this. Those who did show compassion, my e-mail addy is on the petition and I'd much rather talk privately without having shots taken at me.Thank you for your time.

People have opinions. You can't always expect people to agree with you. Do you want your username removed?

You're like the michael moore of yahoo group owners
