    Part 1:

    Alison Lobb

    Morecrofts Solcitors

    Ground Floor, Tithebarn House, 1-5 Tithebarn Street, Liverpool, L2 2NZ.

    Solicitors reference: I called your office last week, and I was at your office today,

    agreeing that I would send this resolution form to your companies e-mail address.

    My name:

    Erik Ribsskog

    Flat 3

    5 Leather Lane

    Liverpool

    L2 2AE

    Phone-number: 0151 236 3298.

    Mobile: 0775 834 9954.

    Part 2:

    The person dealing with my case is or was:

    First it was Eleanor Pool who dealt with the case as a duty solicitor from Morecrofts

    on the meeting in the CAB on 27/2.

    Then, after I agreed with Pool on that I would pay for the case with a payment-plan

    type of founding, then the case was dealt with by Mr. Milletts secretary Samantha,

    on behalf of Mr. Millett.

    My complaint is:

    1. Pool told me on 11/4 that it would be ok for me to pay for the case with a payment-

    plan type of founding.

    Yet, when Samantha called me on 24/4, (after I had called Pool earlier that day to

    ask why noone had called me about a meeting, like we had agreed on when I went

    to Morecrofts on 11/4), she said that I first had to pay Morecrofts £250, before I could

    get to speak with Mr. Millett about the case.

    I told Samantha, on the phone on 24/4, that this was not what I had agreed with Pool.

    I told Samantha that Pool had said it would be ok with a payment-plan type of founding,

    but Samantha said that it wouldn’t be possible with a payment-plan.

    I said that I needed some more time to think about this, and after this phone-call, I

    have been in contact with the Law Society and others, to get advice on how to deal with

    this situation.

    I’ve also been in regular contact with Samantha after this, to update her about what I’ve

    been doing to try to sort with the founding, and more, regarding the case.

    I took some weeks for it to get clear to me exactly how I should go forward to complain

    about this approperatly, but last week, I recieved a Resolution form from the Law Society,

    and I called your reseption on 18/5, asking for the name of the solicitor who deals with

    complaints, and also informing on that I would go to your office this week with the

    resolution form.

    I asked the reseptionist to inform Samantha about this, and also asked her if she could

    inform the other persons in the company that she thought needed to be informed about

    this.

    Complaint 1A: I would like to complain about that I was promised by Pool on 11/4 that the

    case could be payed for with a payment-plan founding solution, but that Samantha

    later told me that the case couldn’t be payed for with a payment-plan founding solution.

    I think that when Pool tells me that this is ok on 11/4, then what she says as a

    representative of Morecrofts is binding for the company, and then it shouldn’t

    be changed later by the company.

    Complaint 1B: I would also like to complain about that even if I told Samantha that

    I had agreed with Pool on 11/4 to pay for the case with a payment-plan founding

    solution, Samantha still insisted on that this wasn’t possible.


    I think Samantha shouldn’t have ignored what I was saying. And if she didn’t trust me,

    she could have checked this with Pool, and got it confirmed that we had already

    agreed on that I could pay for the case with a payment-plan solution.

    2. When Samantha called me on 24/4, she said told me that she had been trying to

    call me on my mobile three times since 11/4. (To set up a meeting for me with Mr.

    Millett, must have been the reason for her to call me. I agreed with Pool on 11/4,

    that someone from your company would call me to set up a meeting with Mr.

    Millett about the case.)

    Since I was in contact with the police in January, (and also started applying for new jobs

    etc. in January), I have been carefull with having the ring-tone level on my two mobile-

    phones on a high level, so that I shouldn’t miss calles from new employers, the police

    etc.

    (And I try to use my newest mobile for buisness-calls, but I might have given Pool the

    number to my old mobile on the meeting at the CAB on 27/2, since it got a bit stressful

    in the meeting that day, since the meeting was only scheduled to last thirty minutes,

    and I wasnt aware of that untill the thirthy minutes had passed, so it could be that I

    gave her the number to my old mobile, from old habit, when Pool asked me for my

    contact-information).

    But because I had taken care to have both the phones switched on, and also have

    the ring-tone volume-level on loud on both mobiles, then I found it very unlikely that

    I would manage to miss three phone-calls from Morecrofts between 11/4 and 24/4.

    So I asked Samantha if she had been calling from the number that are on your

    letters, and first she didn’t answer, she just asked me why I was asking so many

    questions.

    I answered that I was really only asking one question, and then she answered that she

    had been calling from that number.

    After the call, I checked the call-registry on both my mobiles, just to be 100% certain,

    but I couldn’t find any calls from Morecrofts on any of the call-registries.

    Complaint 2A: I would like to complain about that noone called me from Morcrofts to

    set up a meeting about the case, even if Pool on 11/4 said that someone would.

    Complaint 2B: I would like to complain about that Samantha said that she had tryed

    to call me three times between 11/4 and 24/4, on my mobile, but this can’t be right,

    since on my there haven’t been any calls from Morecrofts to any of my mobiles, in

    this periode.

    3. On the meeting with Pool on the CAB on 27/2, I wasn’t informed on that the meeting

    only lasted thirty minutes, untill Pool informed me about this when the thirty minutes

    had passed.

    Complaint 3: I think Pool should have informed me on that the meeting only lasted

    thirthy minutes, before the meeting started, then it would have been possible for

    me to plan which things I wanted to bring up in the meeting, in a way so that

    I could get the most imortant things brought up before the meeting had ended.

    4. In the meeting on 27/2, Pool adviced me on telling the details of the case to

    the jobcentre, who then would have given it on to my old employer.

    (This was regarding a question-form that the jobcentre had sent me, and which

    they only gave me a week to reply on).

    Since I wasn’t aware on that the meeting only lasted thirty minutes, untill the

    thirty minutes had passed, the meeting got a bit stressful at the end.

    I only had a couple of days left to deliver the answer to the jobcentre-form or

    else I could have lost my allowance, since I was unemployed at that time.


    So I reckoned that this was about the only chance I would get to get advice

    on how to answer the form, since I reckoned that it would take more than

    a couple of days to arrange a new similar meeting.


    So I asked if Pool could have a look at the form before we ended the meeting.


    Then Pool advised me to answer the questions to the job-centre.

    Complaint 4A: I’m not sure if Pool should have adviced me to answer the

    questions to the job-centre, since those questions were about the same

    things that were covered about the case.

    So, I think that, since that I from November last year, have been in contact

    with the police, the CAB, and your company about this case in which

    these questions are dealt with, then I think that these questions shouldnt

    been dealt with at the jobcentre, or other places, untill the legal-process

    that I started by contacting the police in Novemeber had ended.

    Complaint 4B: I’m not an expert on this, but this is how I see this after thinking

    more about this. I reckon that Pool should maybe have set up a new meeting

    to disuss the rest of issues that we didn’t have time to disuss on the first

    meeting. (I’m not an expert on how duty solicitor meetings should be

    arranged, but I reckon that if I want to find out if this was done right, I should

    write it in this form now.)

    5. I didn’t know anything about legal-aid and how the other different founding

    alternatives (payment plan etc.), for cases that was sent from the police,

    via the CAB, to a duty solicitor, untill the weeks after the meeting on

    the CAB on 27/2.

    Complaint 5: I think that I should have been informed on in the meeting

    at the CAB on 27/2 that Morecrofts only accepted founding from private

    founds (and not from legal-aid).


    I didnt get aware of this untill Pool told me this when I went to your office

    on 19/3.

    I think that since this was an employement case, I should have been

    informed on that it wasn’t possible to pay for the case by legal-aid.

    6. When Samantha called me on 24/4, I remember that she kept

    interupting me all the time while we were speaking about the case

    and the things regarding the case.

    At the end of the call I explained to her that I fould it difficult to comunicate

    with her, when she kept interupting me all the time.

    I got her to agree on that we should try to speak only one at the time

    for the rest of the call, and we managed to do that for the remainding

    one or two minutes of the call.

    Complaint 6: I think that it shouldn’t be necessary to make special

    agreements about that one should interrupt eachother during a call.

    I think people working for legal firms, and that are used to dealing

    with members of the puplic regarding legal cases, should know this

    from before.

    So I would like to complain about this anyway, even if it went fine with

    the call for the last one or two minutes.

    7. When I called Samantha on 11/5, I explained that I had tryed to call

    her earler that week, and that I had left her a voice-mail etc.

    Samantha said that I could have called her the day before, that she

    was in then.


    But I had try to call her the day before, and the reseptionist had told

    me that Samantha wasn’t in that day.

    Also Samantha told me that I should have left her a voice-message,

    even if I did this when I tryed to call her on 9/5.

    I had also told the reseptionist to tell Samantha that I had been trying

    to call her on 10/5.

    On 8/5 I also tryed to call Morecrofts on the number that is on their

    letters, at around 3.30 pm. (I tryed to call at least twice around that

    time on your main phone-number, 0151 236 8871).

    Complaint 7A: So I’d like to complain about your company not answering

    the phone on 8/5, and on Samantha saying that I should have left a

    voice-mail when I had done it, and on Samantha saying that she was

    in on 10/5, when the reseptionist had told me that she was not in.

    I think one incident like this could be accepted, but when there are

    three incidents like this, just to get in contact with a person in your

    company, than I think isn’t really acceptable.

    Also in the conversation with Samantha on 11/5, I had to keep telling

    her to please slow down the speed when she was speaking.


    She was speaking very fast (and with an accent), so it wasn’t possible

    for me to understand what she was saying, much of the time.

    And even if I repeatedly asked her to please remember that I wasn’t

    British, and to therefore please speak a bit slower, she kept ignoring

    me and kept on talking very fast.

    (When I studied at the University of Sunderland, I took a test that for a

    large part was about understanding spoken English. And I got a good

    result on the test, so I didn’t need to take English classes to follow

    the lectures at the universityl. But when I spoke with Samantha on

    11/5, I didn’t have a chance of understanding large parts of what she

    was saying. I usually don’t have this problem at all when speaking

    with English people).

    Complaint 7B: I think a person working with customer in a legal firm,

    should try to make an effort to speak in a way that is easy to understand,

    especially if one are asked to please speak slower many times by

    the customer calling.

    Part 3

    I am happy for you to deal with my complaint in writing.

    I would like the following to sort out my complaint:

    I am seeking further advice on how to get the case out of the situation it is

    in now (regarding the finance), and this is the most important thing for me,

    to get the case progressing in an appropriate way, including with the founding.

    I think that I would please like to have another contact in your company if

    thats possible, due to the comunication-problems explained in complaint

    number 1, 6 and 7.

    I also think that the other issues should be dealt with approperatly.

  • Resolution form

    Part 1:

    Mr. Nick Laird

    EAD Solicitors

    Prospect House

    Colombus Quay

    Liverpool

    L3 4DB

    Solicitors reference: I called your office last week (4/7), and was informed that you

    were the person in the company that dealt with complaints.

    My name:

    Mr. Erik Ribsskog

    Flat 3

    5 Leather Lane

    Liverpool

    L2 2AE

    Phone-number: 0151 236 3298.

    Mobile: 0775 834 9954.

    Part 2:

    The person dealing with my case is or was:

    I wasn’t given the name of the Duty Solicitor that was supposed to meet me at the

    Citizens Advice Bureau.

    The person from your company that I spoke with on the phone was Mr. Michael Reiner.

    My complaint is:

    1. I think that the EAD, when they cancelled the Duty Solicitors meeting at the

    CAB (Dale Street, Liverpool), on 5/4/07, should have taken the initative to set

    up a new meeting with me, to replace the meeting that had been canceled.

    They didn’t want to set up a new meeting, even if I asked them about the

    possiblity of them doing this, when I called their office, explained the matter,

    and got to speak with their representativ Michael Reiner on 5/4.

    I think that the usual thing to do when one have to cancel a meeting,

    like this duty solicitor meeting, would be to set up a new meeting

    to replace the meeting that was canceled.

    And I think that it’s unacceptable that this wasn’t even offered.

    Complaint 1: I would like to complain about the EAD refusing to set up

    a new duty solicitor meeting after the inital meeting was canceled (by

    themselves).

    2. Michael Reiner informed me on the phone when I called the EAD

    company on 5/4, that EAD didn’t help members of the public with

    calculating if they are eligable for legal aid in (non union) employment-

    cases.

    I don’t think that the EAD should have agreed with the CAB to meet

    me in a duty solicitor meeting, to help me calculate if I was eligable

    for recieveing legal-aid, if this is a work-task that EAD doesn’t do.

    It makes no sence that they should agree with the CAB to help me

    calculate if I’m eligable for legal-aid, and then when I call them after

    they have canceled the meeting, then they tell me that they don’t

    do this type of work-task at all.

    It makes no sense that they should agree with the CAB to do a work-

    task they dont do.

    I don’t think it’s acceptable for a solicotors firm to act like this.

    Complaint 2 A.: I would like to complain about the EAD solicitors

    firm first agreeing to help me, and then refusing this.

    Complaint 2 B: I would like to complain about the EAD agreeing

    to to do a work-task they don’t do (Like Reiner explained, that

    they didn’t help people with calculating if they are eligable for

    recieving legal-aid in individual employment-cases).

    3. I think the EAD should have informed me on why they canceled

    the meeting.

    This was not informed to me by eighter the CAB or the EAD when I

    called the EAD later.

    I don’t remember if I asked them a direct question about this, but I

    think it’s a natural thing to do when one cancel a scheduled meeting

    like this.

    Complaint 3: I would like to complain about that the EAD didn’t

    inform me of the reason for why they canceled the duty solicitor

    meeting on the CAB 5/4.

    4. I think the EAD should have informed me about the name of the

    duty solicitor that was supposed to meet me.

    I asked the CAB twice about the name of the solicitor (because I

    reckoned that this was my contact with EAD, so it would be very

    usefull for me to know this). But the CAB couldn’t tell me who

    it was, even if I asked them twice. (First when I was there for

    the meeting that was canceled, and secondly when I called the

    CAB a bit later that day, to get the right phonenumber for the EAD).

    When I called EAD later the same day, and got to speak with Reiner,

    I again asked who the dury solicitor that I was supposed to meet

    at the CAB was, but Reiner didn’t give me the duty solicitors name.

    I think that if the duty solicitor cancels the meeting, and agrees with

    the CAB that I could instead call the EAD and get advice from them

    over the phone, then he should leave his name with the CAB, and

    tell them to give me the his name when I show up for the meeting,

    so that I know who to ask for when I call the EAD.

    When I called the EAD I got transfered a bit around from person

    to person, before I got to speak with Reiner. I think I was speaking

    with eighter two or three other people before I got to speak with

    Reiner.

    That one don’t know who to ask for, and that one have to explain

    about the case several times to several people, could maybe lead

    to that one gets a bit stressed, and maybe loses a bit of the focus

    that one normally would have had on the case, if one had been

    transfered directly to the right person.

    So I think that this also added to the general level of unproffesionalism

    that it seemed to me was quite characteristic to the way the EAD (and

    the CAB) handled the meeting on 5/4. So even if it sounds a bit stupid

    maybe, I think I’ll also add a complaint about that I wasn’t given the

    duty solicitors name by the EAD (eighter directly or through the CAB).


    Complaint 4: I would like to complain about that the EAD didn’t

    inform me about the name of the duty solicitor that was supposed

    to meet me, even if I asked both the EAD (Reiner) and the CAB

    about this.

    5. I think that the EAD shouldn’t have adviced me on such a complicated

    case over the phone.

    The EAD only wanted to help me over the phone, and therefore a

    misunderstanding happened regard what type of case it was.

    Since we only discussed it over the phone, and the EAD didnt get to see

    the documents that belonged to the case, and I answered that it was an

    employement-case when Reiner asked me, because this was what the

    police had told me that it was.

    If the EAD had agreed to meet me, they would have seen that it was,

    (like the Morecroft solicitor told me on 11/4), that it also was an

    harassment-case.

    So, because of this misunderstanding, Reiner on the phone, told me that

    the case had only got a three month ‘time-limit’, and that since it had

    passed more than three months since the last incident in the case,

    Reiner said that the three month ‘time-limit’ for the case had ‘expired’,

    and that there really wasn’t much hope regarding getting a case like

    this through the justice-system, due to the three month ‘time-limit’ having

    expired.

    But, when I told this to the solicitor from Morecrofts on 11/4, the solicitor

    told me that the case was also an harassment-case, and that it therefore

    had a longer ‘time-limit’ than three months.

    I think that, if EAD had done their job properly, then they would have

    read through the cases documents, and also come to the same

    conclusion.

    Therefore I think that it was a bit irresponsible to give advice about this

    over the phone. The way Reiner explaned it, was that it wasn’t really much

    hope for me to get any progress on the case due to the time-limit problem,

    so it sounded on him like that it wasn’t really worth the bother for me to

    be using more time on trying to get help with the case.

    So, if they do their advice-job in this way, I think it could lead to members

    of the public being given wrong information (in the same way I was given

    by Reiner on 5/4), which could lead to perfectly good cases being

    given up by the person contacting them for advice.

    And one could also think of many other types of misunderstandings that

    could happen due to them doing their duty soliciting work and

    legal-advice over the phone instead of in meetings, like one would think

    would be more practical when it comes to legal-cases, that I reckon often

    can be quite complicated.

    Complaint 5A: I would like to complain about that the EAD gave me wrong

    advice on the phone on 5/4 about the ‘time-limit’ for the case I had agreed

    to meet them about in a duty solicitor meeting at the CAB (To get help

    from them to see if I was eligable to recieve legal-aid for the case).

    Complaint 5B: I would like to complain about the EAD giving advice on

    the phone about cases that they have initialy agreed on to advice about

    in meetings. Reiner from EAD said in the phone-call on 5/4 that one

    needs to know the details of the case to see if someone are eligable for

    legal-aid.

    I think that if he didn’t know the details of the case, then he shouldn’t

    advice on how long ‘time-limit’ there is for the case eighter.

    I think this was an unaceptable way for them to do their duty solicitor

    job. (Which I think this must be called, since they had canceled

    the duty solicitor meeting, and I think the EAD and the CAB must

    have agreed on that it was ok for me to call them for advice instead,

    since the CAB adviced me to do this.)

    And even if one can’t call it a duty solicitor job, for some reason that

    I’m not aware of, then I still think it’s unaceptable of them to give advice

    on how long ‘time-limit’ there is for a case, without knowing the details

    of the case.

    6. If one goes to the EAD web-page on the internet, on the url:

    http://www.eadsolicitors.co.uk/employment/, it says that ‘EAD advices

    on all aspects of employement law work for trade unions, union members

    and individual workers’.

    I don’t think the EAD should put it on their web-site that they advice on

    all aspects of employement law for individual workers, when they don’t

    individual workers at all, like Reiner said in the phone-call on 5/4.

    He said that they only dealt with employment-cases that were trade-

    union cases, and that this was the reason that they couldn’t help me

    with calculating if I was eligable for legal aid.

    Also, the fact that they agreed with the CAB to meet me on 5/4, to

    help me calculate if I was eligable for recieving legal-aid, fits with what

    they write on the web-page, that they really help individual workers

    with things like this.

    So it’s a bit unclear to me if the information on their web-page is wrong,

    or if the information I was given by Reiner in the phone-call on 5/4 was

    wrong.

    So I think I’ll complain about that I have recieved contradicting information,

    and then someone who are more experts on this can hopefully have a

    look at it, and try to find out what these, to me, seemingly contradicting

    statements are due to.

    Complaint 6: I’d like to complain about that the information on the EAD

    webpage says that the EAD advices individual workers in employement

    cases, whereas Mr. Reiner in the phone-call on 5/4 informed me that

    EAD only gave advice about employement-cases when these cases

    were trade-union cases.

    Part 3

    I am happy for you to deal with my complaint in writing.

    I would like the following to sort out my complaint:

    The most important thing to me, is to try to find a solution on how to get some

    progress on the case, so that it is brought through the justice-system in an

    appropriate way.

    I think the complaint should be dealt with by you appropriately.

    I’ve lost a bit of confidence in your company due to what happened on 5/4, so

    I would like to see how your company deals with this complaint, before I decide

    how I should go further with this.

    Subject: Re: Your e-mail (complaint about a duty solicitor)

    Hi,

    thank you very much for your answer!

    Well, in April, I called the Law Society about the problems, and they
    adviced me
    to bring the complaints through their complaint-procedure.

    Now, about six months later, the Law Society tells me that it is the LSC,
    who
    should have dealt with these complaints.

    The complaints are regarding poor service and unprofessional conduct, from
    law-firms,
    in conection with duty solicitor meetings, being set up by the CAB.

    I’m going to enclose a copy of the two complaints that I sent the Law
    Society.

    One complaint regarding the Morecrofts Solicitors firm, and one complaint
    regarding
    the EAD solicitors firm.

    So I’m looking forward to hearing more from you, regarding how I should go
    forward
    with these complaints.

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Yours sincerely,

    Erik Ribsskog

    Hei,

    takk for svar!

    Jeg fortstår hva du skriver, om innleggene, at bare noen veldig få av
    innleggene jeg har
    sendt deg, er fra folk som jeg har på ignore.

    Hovedparten av innleggene, er i kategorien, innlegg som er trakasserende i
    seg selv,
    og ikke fordi de er sendt av brukere jeg har på ignore.

    Så jeg vet ikke helt om hvordan vi skal gjøre det med de innleggene jeg
    nevnte nå,
    altså de som er trakasserende i seg selv.

    Det var jo også en del spørsmål i den forrige e-posten jeg sendte, nå for en
    times tid
    siden, som jeg ikke kan se å ha fått svar på, det var altså om hvordan dere
    pleide
    å gjøre det, hvis det var uenighet mellom Admin og bruker, om en tråd stod
    på riktig
    forum eller ikke.

    Og også, om hvordan dere pleier å gjøre det, hvis det var uenighet, mellom
    Admin og
    bruker, om et innlegg var trakasserende eller ikke.

    Så jeg prøver å ta med dette en gang til, bare for alle tilfellers skyld.

    Så får jeg håpe dere har tid til å se på dette etterhvert.

    Så på forhånd takk for hjelp!

    Mvh.

    Erik Ribsskog

    Veggavisen har ikke et formelt klageorgan.
     
    Nettavisen som avis har PFU som klageinstans, men siden Veggavisen er et forum og ikke en avis, eller annen publikasjon med redaksjonelt innhold, faller ikke PFU inn under dette.
     
    Hvordan du mener vi modererer forumet, får stå for din egen regning. Du skriver at du har blitt utestengt fra blant annet VG, BCC og en del andre forum. Kanskje du bør innse at verden ikke er ute etter deg, men omvendt?
     
    Og til slutt, så gjentar jeg at Veggavisen ikke følger en redaksjonel linje i forhold til Nettavisen. Veggavisen drives av dets brukere, har ingen ansatte journalister og er dermed ikke en del av den 4.statsmakt.

    Hei,
     
    dette er svar på siste melding fra Admin, (Det var noe problem med meldingsfunksjonen på forumet):
     
    ’Hei,
     
    det jeg gjør, er å sette ting på spissen, og stille spørsmål om det er slik.
     
    For å ta opp dette, og debattere dette.
     
    Er det ikke det som er hensikten med debatt-forum da?
     
    Hva er vitsen med å drive et debatt-forum, hvis man ikke ønsker en åpen debatt?
     
    Dere driver debatt-forum på samme måte som man ville ha drevet et debatt-forum
    i Sovjet eller Øst-Tyskland for meg.
     
    Det virker som om det er enkelte områder dere ikke ønsker å ha en åpen debatt om.
     
    Da er hele debattforumet en vits.
     
    Og jeg stiller spørsmålstegn til rollen til Nettavisen, som driver Veggavisen, og som
    er en nettavis.
     
    Hva slags avis er det, som vil skjule ting da?
     
    Er ikke nettavisen del av den fjerde statsmakt, som har til oppgave å bringe ting
    frem i lyset da?
     
    Det her er helt skandale, hva er pressens rolle?
     
    Pressen i Norge er en vits.
     
    De er lakeier for arbeiderbevegelsen
     
    Det er i allefall sånn jeg tolker deres sletting av debattene om Stoltenberg og Giske.
     
    Så jeg er ikke så imponert over nivået over yrkesstoltheten og respekten for de
    demokratiske spillereglene hos Veggavisen/Nettavisen, må jeg innrømme.
     
    Dere dikterer forumet, dere modererer det ikke.
     
    Så jeg lurer hva grunnen er til dette, skal ikke forumet være partipolitisk uavhengig?
     
    Dere trakasserer brukerne, hvis dere sletter poster fordi de ikke er skrevet på en viss politisk måte, eller fordi de tar opp problemer hos en politisk fløy, som dere selv er eiet av.
     
    Men trakassering er ikke lov i følge Norges lover.
     
    Så dette er ikke bare brudd på de demokratiske spillereglene, og et bevis på pressens mangle evne og vilje til å ta opp aktuelle problemer i samfunnet.
     
    Det er også et brudd på norsk lov.
     
    Og dere glemte å skrive hvem som er klageorgan for dere.
     
    Hvilken avdeling i deres organisasjon er det som er klageorgan for dere?
     
    Det spurte jeg om i den forrige meldingen.
     
    Så da er det vanlig folkeskikk å svare, er det ikke det da?
     
    Men men.
     
    Dere er vel for opptatt med å lese bøkene til Stalin tenker jeg, til å svare på alle spørsmålene fra brukerne.
     
    Så da skjønner man det jo.
     
    (Bare for å ta med en vits på slutten her).
     
    Mvh.
     
    Erik Ribsskog’.
     
     
    Så det hadde vært veldig bra om dere kunne sende meg med et navn eller en e-post adresse, for klageorganet for veggavisen, innefor
    organisasjonen til TV2/Nettavisen.
     
    På forhånd takk for hjelp!
     
    Mvh.
     
    Erik Ribsskog

    Subject: Re: Klage, Nettavisen.

    Hei,

    takk for svar!

    Det er tre ting jeg ønsker å klage over:

    1. De sletter tråder på forumet, uten noen ordentlig grunn, annet enn at de
    ikke liker inneholdet i trådenen.

    Dette gjelder to tråder jeg har startet om norske politikere.

    En tråd om Stoltenberg, og en tråd om Giske.

    De har også låst et par tråder uten å noen ordentlige grunner.

    ‘Norge er ikke som du tror’.

    ‘Potetsalat/Italiensk salat/Rekesalat’, (er kanskje litt dumt navn, men det
    var tross alt på ‘dill&dall’-forumet).

    Men men.

    Og jeg har også sett at en tråd som andre startet, som heter noe sånt som
    ‘Nordmenn drept av utlendinger
    siste 18 år’, har blitt stanset fordi de ikke likte trådens tema.

    Altså fordi tråden ikke var politisk korrekt nok.

    Og ikke pga. noen ordentlig grunn.

    2. Jeg har mottatt mer enn 50 trakasserende poster på Veggavisen, som jeg
    har rapportert til Admin.

    Men Admin gjør ikke noe med dette.

    Jeg mener trakassering er uakseptabelt generelt, men Admin mangler enten
    evne eller vilje til å gjøre noe
    med dette, og lar det bare fortsette.

    3. Admin også skriver trakasserende, jeg skal sende med noen e-poster
    fra Admin.

    De skriver blant annet i den siste e-posten:

    ‘Hvordan du mener vi modererer forumet, får stå for din egen regning. Du
    skriver at du har blitt utestengt fra blant annet VG, BCC og en del andre
    forum. Kanskje du bør innse at verden ikke er ute etter deg, men omvendt?’.

    Altså, de skriver at det er meg det er noe galt med.

    Ettersom jeg har hatt problemer med VGD osv.

    Men de kjenner jo ikke til hva de problemene går ut på i detalj.

    Er det noe automatikk i, at hvis man har problemer med VGD osv., så er det
    noe galt med en, og at man bør innse ‘at verden ikke
    er ute etter deg, men omvendt?’.

    Jeg mener det er trakasserende, fordi de sier at moderatorene på VGD osv.
    ikke kan ta feil.

    Men at jeg er ute etter verden.

    Det er trakasserende ovenfor meg.

    Det er etter den definisjonen jeg har lært om trakassering, at det er
    kommentarer som er uønskede og nedlatende.

    Og dette er i høyeste grad både uønsket og nedlatende kommentarer.

    Og uhøflig og.

    Jeg skal gå gjennom noen e-poster fra Veggavisen, og ‘forwarde’ et par av de
    også.

    Takk for raskt svar, og på forhånd takk for hjelp!

    Mvh.

    Subject: Re: Fw: Regarding help from Amnesty

    Hi,

    thank you very much for your answer!

    The reason I was contacting you again, was that it now seems clear to me
    that the Illuminati must be involved.

    So I thought that maybe this made it more serious, since the neighter of the
    Governments in Norway or Britain wants to help.

    But I’ll contact the Sivilombudsmannen.

    I realised that I mixed them up with the Riksmeklingsmannen, in my last
    e-mail
    to you.

    So I’ll contact the sivilombudsmannen.

    So thanks very much for the advice on that!

    I was just wondering if the problem with the Iluminati and the Governments,
    wouldn’t have the consequense, that this case fell under your mandate,
    anyway due to the new information in the update?

    So I just wanted to get this confirmed.

    So thats why I sent the new e-mail.

    So I was just wondering if you could just confirm that this isn’t the case?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Yours sincerely,

    Erik Ribsskog
