[Imc-cyprus] clarification regarding a forgery

[Petros Evdokas]

Hello Bob,

Thanks for writing to us about this (copy of your letter below).
I'm one of the cyprus-imc volunteers and I'd like to help.

First, I'm glad you communicated with us directly, it's the best way to 
clarify things.

You might remember we had a similar situation a while back with Comments 
published under this article:
http://english-cyprus.indymedia.org/newswire/display/289/index.php

There was again a similar protestation that it is forgery, but none of 
the claims seem to make sense and none of the links prove anything. 
(Plus, those articles are obviously right wing crap.)

Is the author of either of these articles claiming they are you? Are 
they using materials you created, or claiming they are? Are they making 
it look like you wrote them? I don't see how. What is the connection 
with you?

If these people are somehow defaming you we can help, and we want to 
help. Plus it's a violation of our policy to allow someone to use 
another's name in our pages fraudulently, or to harn their reputation 
knowingly. But can you please spell it out concretely so we don't have 
to deduce things by just following a million links that lead nowhere? 
What are these people doing that is objectionable?

Also, can you please say a little more about yourself? Are you 
affiliated with imc in San Fransisco? Perhaps something else?

Please help us help you.
Thanks again,
Petros
