I recieved a message from Flick Support regarding number of Blocks and my reply to them sent through Gmail...
My Reply
I have to bring to your notice thst I have been fighting racism on a poetry site called Poem hunter, I have been banned for exposing the culprits who have hacked into my account, and had my account disabled.I have been leading a very isolated photo bloggers life at Flickr, and these blocks are being done on purpose, you must try to be reasonable and understand th situation.I dont go and comment on any Flickr members pictures only those of my friends , and I dont message any Flick member , all my detais will b with you to see and investigate , so I think this a baseless accusation..
I use Flickr not for promting any particular religion, show me a single post of mine where I have intimidated or threatned any single member..or asked to follow my beliefs or religion.I speak of live and let live, I write against spirtual terrorism including that is in the hands of a few disgruntled elements in my own religion too.
If you prove that I am harrasing Flickr members I will immediately move away from Flickr..
I write poems on what I have experienced at the hands of racism in poetry..And these blocks show that white racism does exist and is not a figment of my mind..I have been a victim of abuse since the time I joined Poem Hunter and reached the top as Love Poetry Hate Racism and as Firoze Shakir Bollywoods Most Wanted Poet of India.
I fought them alone, as the Poem Hunter Management did not take all this seriously , nor my grievances nor he poems I wrote as Blogs at Flickr Blogspot Wordpress Ipernity..I do not malign Truth , but it is human folks who hate me and my rise as a poet without any academic qualifications..
I have rights , I am a member just as those who have put blocks on me..
I have blocked a few members on grounds of arttacks on my religion..Shiasm and their hate remarks to me..I am a poet, blogger photographer.
And I have promoted Photography Poetry Peace .Being a Muslim my pictures are of a photo journalistic nature showing the rituals of my country..
I do not wish to name my attackers or blockers , most of them are names that have been persistently harrasing me from the time I joined Flickrs and Poem Hunter.
I think this is a very unjustified statement from your end.I am also sure you do not and will not promote this act of racialism..
I have no other problem from any member at Flickr save those who have put blocks to stop me from exposing the most cancerous disease on this planet Racialism //
I also placed my Naga Sadhu pictures as Private the moment you sent me a message to moderate them..
I do not promote porn, I am open to dialogue debate and the voice of reason.
But I shall not stop fighting Racism.,.this is my fundamental right .
