Online Discrimination
[Link](Mouse over link to see full location) is a forum for the well-known actor John Stamos.
It is run by webmaster and a good friend of Johns, Ken Hada. To make
a long story short Ken Hada created a profile for John Stamos on
MySpace that for awhile was public but only certain people (mainly
gorgeous women and the forum moderators) would be added. My friend tried
getting him to add her and was denied five times. A good friend and
I was was added for a few months and then deleted
when we started noticing that others had issues with not being added
to John Stamos' friends list. At first I didn't think much of it, but
when things got a little nasty and I was first banned from the forum
and then deleted from the friends list we started fighting back. On
the forum my friend PMd (sent a private message) to a moderator that I got
along with just in general asking her if she would email me outside of
the forum about something. She didn't bring me up or anything. She was
then deleted from the forum but was not banned.
Then we noticed that the JS profile on MySpace went private and you
had to guess the last name or email which was falsified since Stamos
didn't work.
Moving on...at least a month has passed now and we don't
totally understand why a guy in his 40's is fighting with us over
something so stupid. All we want is for John Stamos to be acknowledge
by his fans. Well that, and for Ken Hada to loosen up the rules he
has imposed on the forum. There are no terms of use like you'd find
in most forums, just rules that Ken changes when he feels the need.
My friend emailed him asking why she and I were deleted and if we could rationally
talk things out, but have been ignored. Since we feel that
what is going on on MySpace could be hurting John Stamos' image we
wrote a letter and sent it to his publicist, Lewis Kay. Since then we
have written another letter that will be sent out soon to the
publicist as well as Stamos' agent. Kim has posted about this and has
been told possibly to consider going to court over all of this but I'm
not so convinced that we have anything that we'd even remotely have a
chance at winning.
Anyways We hope this makes sense. I guess what my friend and I are doing right now is trying to figure
out what we should do now. I say we lay low for the next week or so
after the letter goes out and see what happens. We aren't really sure what do about this. Any advice would be great.
