Then what you have is a horrible security breach.  One came from a member of NP - not an annonymous person.  His name was something like Girih_________.  He said I should know how to use the computer better, because someone who does not know how to use the computer is like a person driving a car without knowing how and that eventually something nasty is bound to happen.

I responded by naming the things that occur that certainly my computer usuage has no part in.  In example, emails I send to people at another site change after I send them.  What arrives in addressees' mailboxes is not always what I send. Some of my emails even changed AFTER some of the addressees read them.  I also pointed out that I have no capacity to make links on the Internet point to any articles of mine other than the one that posted originally with the link.  Therefore, cyberstalking aimed toward censorship is proven to be happening.

I also replied to the veiled threat about "something nasty" could happen by reminding the writer that something nasty had already happened in that my 54-year-old brother, a mentally ill heart patient, had been secretly arrested until his death in Shelby County Jail in Memphis, TN, after police denying for 18 days that they had him to deprive Larry Neal of his vital heart medication (from mid-July 2003 until his death on Aug. 1, 2003).  I also responded to the comment about a car accident by saying that it indeed seemed to me that a car accident was the plan of those who followed me throughout 2008 before I started staying home (expecially after Duanna Johnson was murdered - another person who planned to sue Shelby Co. Jail in Memphis).  I stated that I felt that is why I was followed by up to four vehicles and there was frequently a government vehicle among the stalkers (usually a DeKalb Water truck or a police car, but on September 27, 2003, there was a US DOT truck).  I stated that the stalking was so blatant that eye witness reports are on file with our USDC case against The Johnnie Cochran Firm (Neal v. Cochran Cherry Givens & Smith) and that more affidavits by persons who observed the illegal stalking were going to be presented in court to the jury, had our interesting judges allowed the cases to get to jury.

I also pointed out that other of Larry's close family members had been stalked, although I was most often the target.  I stated that if any of us have an "accident" on the road, I would take it as being a result of stalking.

I also point out right now that such illegal acts may not be met with the rightful protections under U.S. Code because the USDOJ refused to investigate Larry's death and actually joined in the wrongful death cover-up, but God is over all. 

I stated that a hound dog should not dig a tunnel to exit a dog house with the door open beside him.

In the future, I suggest that if people want to communicate with me, they should use U.S. Mail.  If I write on the Internet, it must be allowed to remain.  If a site such as NP removes my posts, I should be notified and a copy sent to my email box as I repeatedly requested.

Please send me a copy of the data you said was mysteriously changed to advertiising.  That is more evidence of the stalking and censorship that follows me on the Intenet, which is also criminal behavior. 

Again I request that anytime NP removes anything from my articles or comments to my articles, a copy be sent to my email box.  Is that asking too much?  It should not be hard to know that we are dealing with civil and criminal law matters, and what you remove is evidence.  Continually removing same could put NP in the position of being considered an accessory, especially ignoring my repeated requests that I be notified of any data removed and that a copy be put in my email box   Since I have also had emails removed from my NP email box (a strand of conversation with CJaye that she later told me was not actually her at all), I further request that you mail me a hard copy of any removed data to P.O. Box 7222, Atlanta, GA  30357.

It would be preferable if NP staff did not remove anything from my articles or comments thereto, especially without prior notification.  None of the removed data has ever been patently offensive or obscene, so what is the rush?  I usually respond to any messages in short time.  But if you cannot resist, then please adhere to my requests.  Otherwise I will consider this a hostile act.  Furthermore, I know computers well enough to understand that EVERYTHING that is saved is subject to being extracted from its databank.  To say otherwise regarding my missing articles and the original messages that were in place before being changed into advertisements, if they were, makes me concerned about the implications.

I didn't say anything had been changed to advertising - it was advertising when I saw it. I assume it was always advertising. And I can't send it to you because it's deleted.

And we ALL have spam left on our news pieces and forum posts. There's nothing peculiar to you there.

So you hereby assert that you are unable to retrieve the discussion items between myself and a member that were removed from the strand of conversation on yesterday, is that correct?  My post to the person was not saved to NowPublic databank just once, but it was saved repeatedly while I did input.  However, am I to understand now that you assert that you have none of that in your databank?  Please respond.  Eventually, everbody has to decide which kind of business they really want to be in.  Some things are not compatible.

duo, we're not going to write to you to ask your permission if we want to remove a spam or an offensive comment; we don't do that with anyone else and we don't allow spam or offensive comments so we remove them.

If you want me to close down your comment threads so that no comments can be made I can do that, but we can't notify you every time we remove a comment of the above criteria.

Yes, you are correct in your assertions - once something is deleted it cannot be brought back. I am shocked that you continue to accuse staff and good, long standing members of tampering with your pieces, enough is enough, I can't explain it to you any other way.

Amy, perhaps you did not read the posts.  The staff announced they made the deletions.  What you say is like suggesting that I accuse George Washington of being the first president.  Of course he was.  I tire of the subject.  I just make it clear and I do not relent, I am right here at the computer.  Any deletion of my creative product should be sent to me via email and U.S. Mail.  I will pre-pay the postage. 

What we are discussing is my time and effort.  I am no one's slave.  My work belongs to no one to dispose of or destroy.  I am told to post my work directly to NP because codes from Word would interfere.  Therefore, I do as requested.  All I ask in return is that it stays there, or that it is sent to me upon deletion so that I can save to another medium in case I did not already do so. 

My first comment after the article posting news about the Wallacy, TX indictments was this simple comment:

Here is a video to remind us all that our children will inherit the world that we make for them.  "I will always love you, by Connie Talbot" -  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4AtDCVa5xE

Tina announced to me after I searched and sounded alarms about cyberstalkers that she manicured my comments on that strand.  Why?  I can see that prison profiteers might be disturbed that the public is reminded of our children who might suffer from increased debt caused by excessive sentencing, etc., but I cannot see why it should concern Tina.

You imply that I should respect NP members.  I ask the same.  I expect the same.  I demand the same. 

I work for my own purposes and I am not compensated by NP.  If NP does not wish for an article or a commet of mine to remain posted, then it is NP's resposibility to see that my creative product is available for my OWN removal.  I would be glad to do that if asked and given a reasonable time to comply.  But to remove my data without my knowledge is unacceptable.  To delete my creative product and not tell me until I sound a general alarm REPEATEDLY is unacceptable and unprofessional and without justification. 

Respect is a two-way street, Amy.  Black as I am, I still think I deserve it.

If I were y'all, I would let this dicussion drop and just do as I asked very respectfully - notify me of any deletions and send me a copy.  Better yet, send me a request to delete anything at all I posted, and I will.  What makes that a problem?  You don't want to see my films.  I have links come up missing from my articles.  I had a picture missing from my first Kathryn Johnston article.  When there is no excuse, people need to know when to hush.

Mary

Amy, I will tell you sincerely, this is not a good time to do anything else to me or delete anything else of mine.  Take the advice or not.  Furthermore, when you find something "OFFENSIVE" about Connie Talbot's simple song or BILLEY JOE JOHNSON'S picture, be ready to explain it to more than me.  OK?  I know perfectly well who it offends, and I am not into games.

Mary, I am so sad to see you imply that we are acting in a racist way - I have never given you anything except respect and I am the one staff member who has always replied to you when no one else has. I have added whole stories on your behalf, added photos, stayed up late removing weird html code from your stories, responded to your questions on my days off and fielded questions to the tech team on your behalf.

I am so upset you would say that to me when I have gone above and beyond for you, just ask any other staff member.

I suppose if I am not working hard enough on your behalf, I will stop.

When one implies that my work product is their garbage at will, it sounds racist to me, Amy.  When someone implies that I am to give respect but expect none, that also sounds racist.  When I am asked to overlook that my work is being treated differently from other writers - yes, I have asked - what would make me willing to do such a thing?  I see no difference between myself and other NP writers but that I am darker than most.

I appreciate your posting for me whenever I was PREVENTED.  Ask yourself why you had to do that for me.  I appreciate your doing what you could to help me fight for freedom of press.  "Freedom" of anything is always harder for us, but do not expect me to ignore the obvious.  I will not. 

If you want to be solely responsible for managing your own content, then you are of course free to post on your own blog. We would not dream of trying to stop you. However, NowPublic has our own code of conduct, and its own standards of what we will and will not allow to stand as comments. This is of course made perfectly clear in the aforementioned code of conduct. Implying that Amy (or any other member of the content team) is somehow singling you out, when we've gone quite above and beyond to help you, is not acceptable.

Duo, I used to be an intern at Nowpublic and you have no idea how hard the staff works to post up stories and maintain the site. Especially Amy, she has to deal with all the conflicts amongst members along with community issues. She always tries her best to be fair and respectful in order to maintain a healthy nowpublic community. It's not as easy of a job as many of you would think.

What I am trying to get at is, I saw first hand all of the community problems Amy has to deal with that many of you might not know about. It's just really disappointing to see the lack of appreciation she gets on top of members criticizing her.

I can't really comment on this specfic complaint of yours, but you calling Amy a racist is really unfair.

I do not think Amy is racist.  I think the supposition that I should quietly accept being disrespected is racist.  Anyone who feels that I should work for free and have my work product discarded at the will of another is acting on some premise that I hold as being discriminatory.  The idea that I should say "yassa boss" while people destroy hours of my research and writing is objectionable.  The concept that I should not protest this treatment out of high regard for those who perpetrate it is ridiculous.  If not racism, to what am I to attribute this logic?

1.         If a business holds out a service or membership to the public to publish articles and comments, refusal or removal of a writers’ work product should be done only on some uniform criterion that meets legal standards of acceptability that are applied across the board to every member.  Otherwise, discriminatory practices are definitely underway.  What is the reason for my articles and comments to be removed?  “I felt like it" does not suffice. 

2.        Original input is necessary at NowPublic to avoid transferring codes that interfere.  I also save my input elsewhere, but not always immediately.  My comments are frequently not saved immediately, for example.  I request only that I be notified and sent a copy of any intellectual property of mine that is removed.  Only a copy/paste is needed to send data to my email boxes.  A printout must be sent to my P.O. Box also, because of the fact that I have engaged in discourse with someone who used the icon and communicated with me as another NowPublic member, but it was not she.  Therefore, the email system is compromised.  Frankly, my request for a copy of my own articles and comments has been met with such strenuous objection that I conclude the object of their removal is destruction of my work product and not merely removal from this site.  Otherwise, what is the issue?

With all due respect to anyone else who has an interest in this discussion, I find it tiring, repetitious, and disturbing.  I will treat anything stolen from me as a theft.  If anyone wants to buy something of mine, they can make an offer.

Jordan, NO COMMENT OF MINE HAS EVER VIOLATED ANYONE'S CODE OF CONDUCT, and I resent the implication.  Specific examples of deletions are:

1.  Cochran Firm Fraud Continues Unchecked by the Courts - an article that had been published for over a year and read by around 3,000 people.

2.  A photo of Billey Joe Johnson, a Mississippi ball player who was killed somehow on the highway via shotgun blast, whose family contracted with that same firm.  This photo was deleted from the article about Kathryn Johnston, a woman who was killed by former Atlanta Police officers and her family contracted with The Cochran Firm six months after the law firm was declared not to have an office in Georgia.

3.  A one-line comment saying that we should all be mindful that our children will inherit the world we make for them.  That comment was deleted from the article having to do with indictment of individuals in Wallacy Co., TX.

4.  NUMEROUS deletions of comments were made to my ice glacier article.  The writers and I found the glacier comical.  We discussed comedy movies we had seen and the need for peaceful resolution to conflict between people and nations whenever possible.  The comments went on for two pages, but only 11 are left last time I checked.  There may be even less now.

Please do not attempt to give the impression that my comments ever meet any social standards of offense, because they do not.  There was NO EXCUSE for either of those deletions or any others that I suspect I will find when I have time to check.  In fact, it is my firm opinion that my writing is only offensive to certain wrongdoers who participated in the denial of rightful release of records and accountability regarding the secret arrest and wrongful death of Larry Neal - http://wrongfuldeathoflarryneal.com   I fail to find an acceptable reason why NowPublic should be interested in the deletion of articles, comments, and photographs relative to that event or its subsequent ongoing cover-up.

I found more of my "offensive" comments removed.  I was a guest on a radio show entitled "Change the Justice System" on March 26, and discussed my NP article regarding New Mexico's repeal of the death penalty, which was published on March 24.  It is STRANGE that my comment announcing the radio interview would seem "offensive" to NP and be removed, since it would be sure to drive traffic to this site.

Someone needs to explain "offensive."  It seems to include my anti-death penalty advocacy as well as efforts to decriminalize mental illness. 

If you've read the Terms of Use, you would know that:

Many states are "right to work" states.  The employers hold the right to fire anyone at any time with or without cause.  Funny how it does not always work out in the employers' favor when the reason is unjust.  Waivers do not decide outcomes.  For instance, a waiver may say, "Wet floor.  Walk at your own risk."  Someone falls.  Guess what happened then. 

What's up?  Did NP promise someone to remove my input?  Why are we still having this conversation?  If such a thing is planned, my advice is to choose which business you want to be in - removing data, or publishing.  Won't be both.  I suggest that we end this dialog.  I do not insist that NowPublic or anyone publish my work or leave it on their site.  I only promise you that unless you see some creative product of mine that you want to purchase, you need to see that it is both emailed and mailed to me upon removal in order to be sure that you have not destroyed anything I cannot recover, ESPECIALLY since you claim that your system is incapable of doing what can be done on any P.C. - recover deleted material.  Furthermore, in case that is the issue - someone wants my material destroyed (which I always knew was the plan), please acknowledge that I can reproduce whatever I produced.  Therefore, NowPublic, my advice to you is that the people who want my work destroyed also have a plan to destroy the one producing it.  Don't involve yourself in sh*t that is deeper than you intend. 

To Whom It May Concern:  Many have made themselves accessories to Larry's death after the fact by helping to cover it.  Still, we leave them to God and only concentrate our efforts of recovery on the lawyers who defrauded us.  None of this would disappear with articles I wrote or with me.  Have you never in your life heard of video cameras, printers, faxes, friends, or a powerful God?  So what is the point?  Justice works.  Try it.  Christians are forever ready to forgive and move on in life.  Forgiveness is the rule.  The willingness to forgive and move on is why most of my subject matter that may be damaging to some is confined to a few sites.  But justice is the rule, too.  Both are simpler than this never-ending foolishness.  Choose the wise and just thing in this one instance, and you yourselves will be better off for it.  Save the heavy artillary for a more worthy foe.  Told you - when big Goliaths come against little Davids, they lose.  Even if you win, you lose.  What little David would ever sit under the shadow of that triumphant Goliath again?

I can write about just about anything.  Frankly, I had hoped to only be in activism for human rights for a short time.  I always reminded my comrades that I would do this work until justice comes.  Therefore, we did not apply for non-profit status for AIMI or start an independent blog instead of using NowPublic (which pays zero) or any of the things that would have been done had we known how long this would take.  YOU make it long, not I.  YOU are unreasonable, not the Neal family.  So I advocate against the death penlty, criminalizing mental illness, wrongful convictions, unfair withholding of methods to prove innocence, and all forms of victimization, because the Lord drafted me to advocate by allowing Larry's death and cover-up.  For God I  work on behalf of other helpless, victimized people like Larry and like my poor mother until justice comes. These issues will continue until Jesus' Second Coming.  I never planned to be a human rights activist up to the moment He splits the sky, although I have set things up to do just that whether in the flesh or not if necessitated by continuing deprivation of justice.  Did you hear anyone say Jesus or MLK lately?  They continue.  Their work flourishes.

Pharaohs would still be pharaohs if they were fair and humane.  Cruelty is not a necessary part of being top Dog.

Blessings!
