I just sent this letter to Stigamot - the rape center in Iceland responible for all the lies to the media and the cancelation of the hotel and convention.
------------------------------------
Congratulations.
You seem to have won and can celebrate a victory.
Being lied about and socially ostracized like I have been recently in the Iceland media by your organization I now have an idea how it must feel to be powerless against irrational uncontrollable anger.
In effect you basically denied a Canadian with Icelandic roots and no criminal record the ability to visit the land of his forefathers for a vacation. Something I have looked forward to for many years.
Did you effect the operations of the online adult industry at all - no. You interrupted the vacation time of some site owners that run legal operations. You had the opportunity to meet and discuss with many of the highest traffic websites in the world about your concerns but instead you choose to pass. It's possible you avoided the ability to effect what may have been positive change in the industry and opted for terrorist tactics and lies and had us cancel our vacation time so we could stay home and work more.
I honestly would have liked to have met with representatives of your organization to see if there was anything we could do in our operations to be more sensitive to the needs of groups like yours. I currently work with several and adhere to principles and practices that we helped to establish for many businesses in the online adult community. ASACP.com being one of them. please check out this organization's website.
I honestly feel your behavior in this matter only sets up an environment of hate, revenge and mistrust. I hope that if you can overcome your anger someday and I feel that if you ever wish to break the chains of oppression it's done with agreements, understanding and rational negotiation.
Knowing the horrors many of you have gone though I can forgive you for this overzealous behavior and hope that in your hearts you have the courage to one day sit down and talk with myself or other representatives of the online adult community to discuss viewpoints and hopefully incorporate change and understanding for both of us in a more positive direction.
If you ever come to Canada I would be happy to extend an invitation to representatives of your organization to lunch or dinner and discuss this further in a civil manor. On me.
I wish only the best for the people in your recovery centers and fell for the horrors they had to experience.
Please accept my apology for the stress this vacation gathering has caused your organization.
Someday I hope we can move towards change. As a suggestion maybe in the future you can contact organizations like snowagthering or myself directly with your concerns before going to the media in an effort of corporation, goodwill and trust.
I pray you have the courage to read this and the integrity to respond.
Somehow I doubt it . Please prove me wrong.
