This was a exchange between myself, Debcosmos, ParrotLady and I eventually sent this by email to FooKate... Get ready it is very long. Sorry about that! Dear respectfully ParrotLady, I am needing for clarification from a individual from the legal dept from FooMojo not a FooAdmin. Your professional, mature, and expertise to communicate this in a mature fashion without suspending or deleting my account is greatly appreciated. I feel that there is some misinterpretations and an misunderstanding of the wording of the Foo TOS regarding religion. I feel that a legal representative needs to revise the wording and to specify the rules of Religion of the TOS. It is too “VAGUE” in my experience of legal terms and conditions. I am completely intelligent enough regarding legal terms and conditions. I spent my whole professional life explaining insurance policies as a Underwriter to those in layman’s terms so that the individuals who purchased a produce would understand what their policy states. I also worked for one of the largest Financial Corporations in our country as a Financial Advisor and Banking representative at Charles Schwab. So my intelligence is not to be underestimated. Lets break this down bit by bit! #1) It is not unsolicited! My interactions, with "MY" Foofriends is not a "Randomly Spreading" of words of Propaganda. It is an encouragement and a devotional to apply to our daily life. I was specifically requested by those individuals to receive the Daily Devotionals. #2) It is not in a forum post! I first believed that the TOS rules regarding religion only applied to the forums. Where there is no “Respect” or “Tolerance” for others being different than your race, color, religion or views and opinions. It is a free for all attack on who is “Alpha dog” and who is less dominate. It is a place for the “Self entitled FooPolice” and those wanna be Foo Admins. Who in no way are a FooAdmin or FooAmbassador and do not have the that on their profile. After being confronted with the possibility that I may be breaking the rules of the TOS regarding my Daily devotionals and FooKates message, I even gave those another opportunity to opt out or to continue to receive them. As long as I had the permission of the recipients then I was not breaking any rules. I also received numerous messages from FooFriends that I was in compliance with the TOS. Here is a copy of a message from “playin” (still posted on my message tab) Hi there :) Read the message from HAESkin-dogs.....You don't have anything to worry about though, because the terms only state "No religious propaganda", which would mean you were trying to convert people, instead of just trying to spend the word of God to those who already know him. And besides, the only reason religious propaganda is not allowed, is because it is a controversial subject libel to bring up arguments if it gets into the wrong hands. God Bless :) #3) It in NO way discriminates or belittles those who do not know GOD! #4) It in NO way is a “Religious Proaganda”. I would encourage you and the other staff members to study the definition of “Religious Propaganda”. Propaganda is “defined as” the usage of specific information to influence public opinion or to gain public support for a cause. It emphasizes bits of information that support a position and de-emphasizes or excludes those that do not. Misleading statements or outright lies may be included. Advertising and missionary activity are within the broad definition of propaganda, but the term is usually used in politics. Is using media in a form of persuading the public or swaying their political (or anything else) opinion. Propaganda often presents facts selectively (thus possibly lying by omission) to encourage a particular synthesis, or uses loaded messages to produce an emotional rather than rational response to the information presented. The desired result is a change of the attitude toward the subject in the target audience to further a political agenda. Propaganda can be used as a form of political warfare.- from wikipedia.com. It is not a "Political, Religious, non-profit or rhetorical propaganda" ...they are Daily devotionals with the encouragement and uplifting message to apply to today's issues in Life! #5) Is it not acceptable to have our own religious views on our profiles and our usernames stating our Christian beliefs. It is afterall, a place where we are to state “About Me”. It is in our own space and FooHome. I am going to seek a way to write or email the CEO or board of directors and CC: FooKate in the letter I am drafting up. The legal dept at FooMojo needs to clarify and rewrite the wording. I feel that some of the FA have taking advantage of their Authority! I do not think that they are intelligent enough to interrupt the legal terms in the TOS. They just see or interrupt “NO Religion”. Then if that is the True “Meaning” and “Fact” on FooPets...then why are there "Christmas" items, Heaven Widescreen scenes with a staircase to heaven, Buddist items, Jewish items, Angels, St. Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter, Halloween... all these holidays we celebrate on Foo have God in their origins all in the FooMart? Why are there foomembers allowed to state the evil of vampires, evil, wicked, witch craft and etc. Have such members with LaurenorSatan. Wolfduck-Kennel had the right to have a pet named "no Jesus Christ". What and Why is the FooPets website so against Christians? Is it owned by a Atheist? Does FooPets support Atheists views? If you could please clarify this issue for once and for all. The Christians of this FooMembership need to know. IF it is this position of FooPets…There will be a mass cancellations from everyone. It will also end up on the “Evening National News”. Your professional, mature, and expertise to communicate this in a mature fashion without suspending or deleting my account is greatly appreciated. Sincerely and Respectfully yours, Valarie of Valorhaus Rottweilers.
