I write under my own name, and I feel if anyone has anything they feel worth saying they should be willing to put their name under it, and furthermore we can put that together with things the same person has written elsewhere. All these multiple identities just fragments the picture and puts each comment out on its own without any kind of meaningful context. But I see your point. <br /><br />Obviously anyone who puts their thoughts online for all to see and criticise, like me, you, or your opponents, has to have some kind of an inflated ego. Shrinking violets do not run blogs or webpages (at least not ones that express an opinion). <br /><br /> Paul Barfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443302899233809948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-48774246752432545702014-05-28T03:20:11.731-07:002014-05-28T03:20:11.731-07:00Good evening Mr Barford,
Thank you for your intell...Good evening Mr Barford,<br />Thank you for your intellectual honesty. <br />the reason why I didn't sign my message is simple: Action Centurion is an entity, not a person. Revealing my name does not change the essence of our words. <br />Regarding the policies and laws about defamation in France, they protect quite efficiently citizens from abuses and confusion between freedom of speech and denigration. We disapprove these behaviours (from both sides). We are for a sane confrontation based upon a diversity of different ideas.<br />We are not responsable for the total removal of his blog: we complained only about incriminated pages, not the globality. Overblog gave a heavy-handed answer to our grievances.<br />We know precisely why Mr Desforges is using this unfair mean against us. Two years ago an online petition against was created by supposed prospectors, an he thinks that we are involved (of course we are not at all). Mr Desforges is proud as a peacock and reacts a very "epidermic" way when it's about his ego.<br />The fifteen members of our group come from different social backgrounds, and none of them approves or believe in racist, xenophobic, full of hatred and disgusting theories. We have nothing in common with people who would go that way.<br />We are proud of that. <br /><br />Best regards<br />F.D<br />for Action centurion<br /><br />Here's the link of our Facebook page so you could make your own opinion:<br />https://www.facebook.com/ActionCenturion?fref=tsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8174756573570334952.post-48477645034191742212014-05-27T21:56:51.372-07:002014-05-27T21:56:51.372-07:00Another unsigned comment. M. "F.D." you ...Another unsigned comment. M. "F.D." you obviously have much more effective anti-defamation legislation in France than many other places, there are a number of much more defamatory texts about me posted online by UK and US metal detectorists that the web providers, annoyingly, will not take down.<br /><br />The post about your logo... Well, what can I say? I do not see the connection myself. The argument looks a bit silly I must say. I consider that in demanding a whole blog is taken down because of this one post (or this sort of thing) you show the same oversensitivity (therefore insecurities) as your UK counterparts. <br /><br />I'd be very interested to hear more about the politics of your members. In Britain, there is a very clear emphasis on the forums on nationalist themes, and occasionally some open xenophobism. I was wondering what brought Mr Desforges to his assessment of your group?<br /><br />Anyway, thank you for explaining the background to the new forum and providing a link to your own.

Mr Desforges wants to be considered ...Good evening.<br />Mr Desforges wants to be considered as a victim, but he is guilty: his first blog has not been hacked but removed by the french host site Overblog after a founded complaint submitted by "Action Centurion", a french prospector group. The main reason is that Mr Desforges published offensant and defamatory posts, comparing their logo with nazi posters, just as he does on his new blog. <br />http://www.agir-contre-le-pillage.org/2014/05/actions-casquees-2.html<br /><br />Once his blog was removed and the adress available, "Action Centurion" decided to keep the same. There was no hacking. Mr Desforges deserved to loose his blog for he acted dishonestly. When Mr Desforges qualifies "A.C" as a "fascist" organisation it is only a strategy to victimise himself and also a way to bring this group into disrepute.<br />Best regards,<br />F.D<br />Action Centurion<br /><br /><br />OUR blog:<br />http://agir-contre-le-pillage.over-blog.com/ <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
