Our own personal wind chill

Well, folks - it's been a blast and it's been fun.

Apparently, our domain registrar (namesdirect.com - subsidiary of Dotster.com) have caved to the pressures of the William Morris Agency giant. On April 29, 2003, Dotster.com received a letter from the William Morris Agency in regards to this website. Their complaint accused us of liable and potentially other civil and criminal offenses.

This is another fine example of how Hollywood feels that their opinion and view is the only one that matters. Average citizens are disallowed the free expression of our point of view because they don't like being challenged for their views. I stand firm on the belief that we have done nothing wrong at this website - - The celebrities have expressed their views, and we have responded in kind by expressing our views regarding the thoughts and ideas that they have, publicly, expressed.

Dotster.com has suspended our update information at this domain and have informed us that the DNS information of this domain has been changed and the website will be down within the next 24 hours and our contract with them is now null and void. They are doing this because we did not provide accurate contact information in their public database.

When I explained that the reason we did not provide accurate contact information is because we have received multiple death threats and I did not wish for just anyone to have my personal information - and asked them for suggestions on what to do - Dotster was unmoved. They did not give me the chance to update the information with accurate information and keep the domain. That's not an option - - they are just simply going to shut down our domain - no explanation needed.

I can't believe they are trying this. Who's running away from interviews and who's being silenced again?

This is one of the most outrages things I've seen in a long time. We need to FReep William Morris bad.

You know, I'm getting a little worried about some of the people who have stepped up for the troops. You can bet some of those folks will run into trouble.

The blacklist is alive...

The Celeb's have their websites and promote their anti-war agenda. Freedom of speech for the elite.

I haven't noticed that http://www.famousidiot.com is down yet. Was it just your website? Or will they all be shut down? the famousidiot site owner also received death threats...about 200 of them when I had heard about his site on tv.
