Right, I can't figure out what exactly he's asking to be removed. I'll
contact the Chilling Effects clearing house and see if they think I should
take any action. I sent this inquiry to the Institute for Credulous
Retards. I see the idiot sent you a censored version! How amusing:

Greetings!
My ISP told me there was a note from you suggesting that there was ICR
cult materials somewhere on one of my web sites yet a search failed to
turn up anything. Can you provide a URL of anything from the ICR cult
which you think violates the ICR cult's copyrights? I need to know
the domain name and the HTML page name before I can find it since I've
got approximately 20,000 web pages up.
Thanks for your help.
> you know, if all these files are posted on his site,
<heh> The web page he's complaining about is copyrighted by me.
My software which I wrote creates those web forms automatically. The
web pages which are requested from that form acquires old copies of the
cult's bizarre claims with suitable critical commentary. Hell, the web
page has a copyright notice in its source. I've added criticism to the
web pages and in so [doing] incured the wrath of IRC cultists who have
sent me nut rants because of it. So it's not as if the cult isn't aware
of the fact that these files are Fair Use criticism of the cult's bizarre
claims.
What I'll do is I'll go through each of the text files and make sure that
there's Fair Use criticism contained within each one; a debunking of the
bizarre claims. I'll make sure that they all conform to Fair Use which I
do believe that they all currently do since they're criticism as well as
coming from a non-commercial organization (The Skeptic Tank is non-profit.)
Chilling Effects will provide me with information on how to deal with this
idiot as well as any others that might crop up in the future.

Sounds good. I'll inform him that the web page he's complaining about
is copyrighted by me and

looks like.
Any text written by the creationist cult which may be quoted within this
