Also, more seriously:
waywardradish runs a site on Wordpress for survivors of "holding therapy", a physically and emotionally abusive practice performed mostly on already-vulnerable children. Her site,
A Search for Survivors, provides a place for people who have experienced this abuse to give testimony about what happened to them.
Wordpress has not only been attempting to suspend the site to appease disgruntled practitioners of this abusive "therapy", but its representative has used
lies, intimidation, and threats of silencing in his dealings with Waywardradish.
Please take a moment to let that sink in:
he is taunting an abuse survivor with the power he holds over her & other survivors' ability to testify to their suffering.
copperbadge provides
a sample e-mail to send to Wordpress in protest:
So please, feel free to email them again at tosreports@wordpress.com to -- politely and courteously -- request that they stop interfering with the journal. No specific subject line is needed. As a text, I suggest:
I strongly protest your continued interference with the Wordpress journal childtorture.wordpress.com. It is a vital and invaluable resource for holding therapy survivors. The documentation it presents includes firsthand experiences, eyewitness accounts, and news, medical, and legal documents available to the public.
In suspending and/or removing this journal you are doing both the community and your own public image a severe disservice.
Holding therapy is abusive and lethal and aimed at children, who have no voice. Please give abuse survivors back their voice.
Please do consider sending Wordpress an e-mail about this, and/or dropping a comment of support
to Waywardradish. Thank you!
