Blatant religious discrimination and anti-Christian censorship
AOL’s Ourstage has deleted the WinterBand fan page on behalf of a handful of people who don’t like what we teach and filed frivolous “complaints”
This is NOT ABOUT RELIGION. This is about corruption and/or incompetent Ourstage staff going along with some people who didn’t like us and removing an established competitive band without cause.
Details and documentation are available at:
http://www.ourstage.ws or http://www.winterband.com/Ourstage.html
What has happened is outrageous religious censorship and discrimination.
Whether you love us or hate us consider the precedent that this situation establishes.
If anyone you know is investing time and effort building a presence and network of connections on Ourstage you owe it to them to make them aware of what is going on.
