Subject: boycott of your products due to SYS-CON

I'm writing to inform you I am engaging in a personal boycott of all your publications due to your affiliation Maureen O'Gara, who is currently stalking the Groklaw author Pamela Jones.

O'Gara's most recent "article" consisted of personal information about Ms. Jones, including her home address and disparaging comments about Ms. Jones' living conditions.

The article contained a number of offensive comments about the Jehovah Witnesses, under the guise of "accusing" Ms. Jones of being one.

I will not purchase any products or services from any firms who do business with SYS-CON while a paranoid, delusional pseudo journalist such as Maureen O'Gara remains on your payroll.

I am writing your advertisers to inform them of this decision, so they are aware that their use of your site for advertising purposes is costing them business.

I'm afraid I can't call you during the day today, as I am at work and need to keep my line available for client calls.

I have noting against Barracuda Networks aside from your advertising with a company that employs a stalker disguising herself as a journalist.

You can see a copy of the article in question at
http://www.clientservernews.com/

The above link does not contain the photographs of the home of Pamela Jones that ran in other online publications running the article.

So long as Maureen O'Gara is employed by SYS-CON, I will not purchase any products from any company that advertises on their sites or in their publications. If SYS-CON fires Maureen O'Gara or a company ceases advertising with SYS-CON sites and publications, then I would have no reason to avoid their products.

I know you don't employ Maureen O'Gara, however, you advertise on web sites owned and operated by SYS-CON, who does employ her. So long as your advertisements run on SYS-CON owned sites, and Maureen O'Gara remains a SYS-CON employee, then I will not purchase your products.

This is nothing personal, I'm informing all of the companies that advertise on SYS-CON sites of the same thing.
