Huw B

Hello. I am Huw B and have been on H2G2 for some 11 weeks (although recently inactive). I am contacting you as an ACE who kindly welcomed me to the Guide. I am looking for help on how I can make a complaint about an entry which I find offensive.

The entry concerned is A305803 - 'How awful Wales is'. This does not seem to me to be humourous or even any form of fair comment or legitimate personal opinion. It would be offensive written about any country or people and serves no useful purpose. If possible, I would like it removed from H2G2.

I have put my viewpoint to the article's editor although I'm not confident of a reply. Can you please advise me how to proceed.

Well, seeing as I had my ACE badge torn from my hands recently I now carry about as much authority in these matters as a dyslexic Scotsman. You know the score...

I'll be checking out the offensive article soon, but you've got a strong case on your hands. It only takes one dissatisfied person to complain to get something torn off h2g2. The PTB don't beat about the bush - hell, they won't even let this guy defend himself!
Your action from here will be to email Peta. Her addy is [email protected].

G'luck.

It's been taken down now. Quorthon, I'm sorry, but I have to get people to abide by the terms and conditions. Can I just say that I think your comment above is quite funny...

Your promptness startled me *^_^*

Speaking of T&C, why am I being ignored on the issue of Taking The Mick Out Of Mike A not being against these T&C?

Doch, Mike.
You know I admire your tenacity, but what exactly do you gain by acting the pit bull here? No, don't answer on second thought.
*sigh*
Come away, please.

Some things are better left alone. You can please some of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time.
