The right to whinge is an important one, and I hope that you, Dear Reader, will agree that we should do what we can to protect it. Now some vegetarian lonely hearts out there have had this taken away from them. They came together on the forum of the dating site www.veggieromance.com, and complained about a page on my web-site. They started a campaign and got my entire site banned, but then something terrible happened: the public response to my being banned was that many people wrote to the veggie dating agency to complain about what had happened. The result was, I'm sorry to say, that the people running the site deprived the world of a place to whinge about my site.

I'm all right now. I have my new web host, but these poor vegetarian lonely hearts no longer have their forum to talk about me. This is not right. These people must be given back their voice.

You can help. Write to the people at www.veggieromance.com and let them know that stifling free speech is a bad thing. Demand, or if that isn't your style, deftly persuade the web-masters there to reinstate the thread on the forum complaining about my web pages. Perhaps you are a clever campaigner and can think up more effective ways of bringing about this justice. If so, please let me know.

Those vegetarians need forums to meet and share outrage, and get together. If this campaign leads to some lonely hearts finding each other, then that's great. Perhaps they'll invite me to the wedding, although I doubt that I'll be asked to make a speech.
