Garde à l'eau!
I have received a clear threat from Forum Administration. That threat involves 'adverse administrative action' if I do not turn over the contents of my Private Messages on this forum. Read the Admin post concerning this matter here: http://forum.thenorthpacific.org/topic/7204614/1/#new.
As a matter of principle and a matter of my right to privacy in private communications, and in deference to the rights of others who communicated with me on various RP and IC matters, as well as OOC matters, I refuse to turn over these Private Messages to anyone.
The very fact that the forum Administration is making such a demand of me shows that there is something very wrong with this forum. Demanding the contents of Private Messages is an act of dictatorial force and coercion, something that this forum and region has so long pledged to fight against. It is also a sign that administrative action can be taken against individuals who refuse to go along with railroading a defendant in the Court of TNP as well as a clear and present threat to anyone who has or will take an open or private opinion against making "Flemingovianism" the "Official State Religion" of The North Pacific.
In recent events, I have been verbally abused by all manner of obscenity by Flemingovia, the self proclaimed "God" of the co-called religion of "Flemingovianism". He has referred to me using all manner of vulgar and obscene anatomical references relating to female and male genitalia over several posts and several threads. This was permitted to continue in a manner that would not have been extended to any regular, non-admin/non-moderator member of this forum's community.
The harassment has continued in the form of 'format busting' images being posted in my "TNP Free Press" thread in the Agora, and which posts served the only and singular purpose of disrupting a thread. We have seen this type of disruption being tolerated and even encouraged by admin/moderation refusal to act in order to prevent such trollery. It seems that some people can do what they want and others get piled on for doing what is right, mainly trying to maintain order or calling for order and civility. Again, some people get away with it because of their Administrative position on this forum, by that I mean mainly Flemingovia.
It had become apparent that game-play and role-playing is being directly affected by Administrative threats should one speak out against something that is so wrong in terms of game-play and in a more concise manner, real life.
In The North Pacific in terms of honorable game play, we have always assumed our so-called "Bill of Rights" right to 'freedom of religion' meant that players, IC, would be free from having their 'religious practices' interfered with and curtailed by the institution of an "Official State Religion". Yet, here we see a bill being voted on in the RA that will create an "Official State Religion" out of "Flemingovianism". And yet, some people are so ignorant and willing to vote for such a state of affairs to be made Law.
The second worse part about it all is that the so-called and self proclaimed "God" of this religion is our very own Fleminingovia, who, incidentally is one of the forum Adminstrators. Then it comes to our attention that said "God" and Admin uses vulgar and obscene language and references as well as format breaking images to silence the one outspoken critic of his planned 'Theocracy' over The North Pacific.
The first worst part about it all is that forum administration is demanding that I turn over to them all of my PMs in a manner that would expose any and all people who oppose the idea of an "Official State Religion" so they too can be targeted as I have been. I have a duty in the name of the Right to Privacy in private communications, not only mine but even in the name of those who have threatened me to 'shut up and sit down' as well as 'convict JAL or else'. I will not violate their rights to privacy.
The very fact that this forum and government had descended into allowing forum administration to demand that Private Messages be turned over to them under threat of 'adverse administrative action' is something everyone here should be not only disgusted by but also in fear of ever happening.
The greatest threat to this forum is not refusing to turn over Private Messages and violate the right to privacy of myself and others. The greatest threat to this forum, and for that matter, this region, is the very fact that Forum Administration can threaten individuals with 'adverse administrative action' if they do not submit to such a disgusting and reprehensible request. It is a clear violation of the Administration's self-proclaimed position that they do not interfere with RP or the regional 'government'. Yet, they are so willing to do so when one of their own, mainly Flemingovia, has gone over the edge in terms of enforcing his own 'state religion' to the point of using administrative action to silence RP opposition to such a reprehensible idea as an 'official state religion'.
And that is the root of all of this: Resist an administrator who creates his own religion over which he is the self-proclaimed "God" and not even your private messages are safe. And if you refuse to comply, a bandwagon will side with him an engage in 'adverse administrative action' in order to attempt to coerce you into bowing down to the "Flemingovia God" or face being possibly "purged" for no other offense than refusing to comply with an RP crackpot religion.
I have served this region faithfully since the creation of this region in one 'incarnation' or another. I can safely say that I have been here the longest out of anyone here or anyone here in NS. And now I get spit on my forum administration for all my efforts by their demands to violate the Right to Privacy we have always assumed we had but they now declare null and void under penalty of 'adverse administrative action'.
If you think it won't affect you, think again. You have no Right to Privacy by declaration of what is demanded of me. In fact you have no rights at all except to bow down to a whack-job self-proclaimed "GOD" or face 'adverse administrative action'. This is the murder of Role Playing and it is the murder of our region.
I implore all of you who have a sense of honor and a sense of what is right to stand up for your rights and not allow anyone to be forced to submit to a scheme designed to force a load of 'state religion' on you in the game or force you to submit to that which you have always viewed as your inviolable rights.
As a result of the present deplorable situation on this forum where free speech and privacy are being in fact abridged by such dictatorial administrative demands, I am seriously considering leaving this region. This is not even something I considered even when we had the likes of the various rogue and usurping delegates that we have suffered through in the past.
I am asking the good people left in this region to take a stand and stand up for what you believe in and not let anyone steal it from you. This is your region, not Flemingovia's and the supporters of his 'Religion'. This is not a region in which forum administration supports a rogue administrator who is getting away with violating his duties as an administrator.
I ask you all to petition the forum administrators to remove Flemingovia as an admin and stop this blatant interference with the Role Playing in the name of a 'state religion' and refuse to be silenced any longer. Be humans, not sheep. Take this region back before it falls apart or worse, falls into the coming 'religious' dictatorship of a self-proclaimed "God" who happens to be one of the protected class of Administrators.
