Dear Anonymizer.com,

Im the Lead Sysop for a public Forum called TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) founded by computer expert and noted author, Ed Yourdon, located at:

http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic= TimeBomb%202000%20%28Y2000%29

The sites webmaster is Phillip Greenspun (philg@mit.edu) at http:// www.greenspun.com/ and is hosted on computer systems at MIT.

We are repeatedly experiencing trolling--harrasing, heckling, abusing, and impersonating of another person or entity, including ME, the Forum Sysop--type activities of someone(s) posting, while using your services.

Specifically he/she/they are coming in on...

209.75.196.105 maps to ... sirrah.anonymizer.com
209.75.196.104 maps to ... ascella.anonymizer.com

According to...

http://www.anonymizer.com/3.0/contact/index.shtml

COMPLAINTS:
If you represent a web site abused by an Anonymizer user, please report the problem to abuse@anonymizer.com. We will block access to a site at the request of the site administrator.

... I can complain here.

Can you please send me or point me to your user policy where you spell out what constitutes violations of your user policy? (Cant seem to access your FAQs area).

Also, what specific evidence do I need to collect to prove abuse?

BTW, another Forum Sysop, on the Greenspun LUSENET Forum system is also experiencing heckling and abuse from the same poster(s), using your service.

Thank you for your timely assistance,

Diane
TimeBomb 2000 Sysop
