Last Friday night (16 October 1999), while surfing the web, we visited a friend's page and decided to sign the guestbook.  After signing in, we viewed the guestbook and found an entry that reads as follows:

(WARNING: The web sites linked below contain vicious attacks against survivors of rape and inaccurate definitions of rape.  Please do not visit this site if you are having a difficult time working through your experience, as it may cause you undue stress.  For a full exposition of these inaccurate definitions and the real statistics about rape, visit our Myths & Facts Page)

Comments: Hello [Name of Web Page], I came upon your site through PWOTW webring.  I would like to invite anyone who is interested in discussing rape and false accusations of rape to visit my site.  I have a new discussion board for this topic at www.leswhaley.org/discussion.html and invite any and all opinions on this topic.  Hope to see you there.

    After reading this friendly sounding message, we decided to visit the site.  Once we arrived there, we discovered that the site is, in fact, designed to promote the release of a convicted rapist and attacks women who report rape.  We decided that we would take this woman up on her offer to discuss the matter, and we e-mailed her some true statistics about rape.  We received back an insulting message from the woman who designed the site, replied to that message, and other messages began coming in from a different source.  The complete texts of our e-mails and others like ours, along with the responses we received, can be found on this site.  To see the other messages we received, visit this site.  Some of these messages called us "satanic neo-nazi feminist propagandists," and that is why we named this page "Why I Am A Satanic Neo-Nazi Feminist Propagandist!" (NOTE: After we initially published this page, the owner of the other site, who has been monitoring our site, decided to remove her own replies to our e-mails, leaving the e-mails we and others have sent on her web page. Evidently, she does not have the courage to promote her own convictions. We are working on providing her responses to us as an addendum to the Hate Mail site we have linked above.)
    So, when the owner of the offending site claims that the messages we sent were "unsolicited," remember that she signed a guestbook asking for a discussion of rape and false accusations of rape and included with this request a link to her e-mail account and a link to her website.  Clearly, the e-mails that we sent were solicited with the intention of bashing survivors who dared to speak their minds.  For more evidence of this intention, visit the "discussion" board and read the comments these "people" make toward survivors of rape who have the courage to stand up for themselves.

    For the record, the site under the URL www.leswhaley.org advocates the following:

    (1) Spousal rape
    (2) Date and acquaintance rape
    (3) Hate toward all survivors of rape, especially those who stand up for themselves
    (4) Hatred toward friends and families of rape victims who support punishment for rapists
    (5) Complete disrespect for the privacy of rape victims

    In addition, they actively pursue survivors of sexual assault in order to harass and harangue them with insulting language, venomous attacks, and ludicrous "statistics."  If the parole board needs an indication that they have correctly incarcerated a rapist, surely the actions of the friends of said rapist (those who created and support this site) speak for him and for themselves.

UPDATE!!! The site listed above has now copied verbatim large portions of text from our site in addition to the e-mails from us and others she has copied. It seems that there is no end to this woman's desire to plagiarize us. Perhaps, she is having a difficult time coming up with her own words to say. At any rate, her response to our site is riddled with logical fallacies, not the least of which is the "guilt by association" fallacy that because the study we have quoted was sponsored in part by Ms., it is inherently biased toward feminists. In actuality, the study was approved by the National Institute of Mental Health, and approval by this unbiased U.S. Government institution is extremely difficult to obtain. The only way a researcher can obtain such approval is if the study meets rigorous standards for scientific accuracy and efficacy. Read the book to find out exactly how the study was conducted, who took part, and what the results were.

In addition, as we built this page, the furthest thing from our minds was to redefine rape so that accused rapists could be placed in prison on the basis of accusation alone. To suggest that this was our goal is ridiculous and serves only to indicate that those who claim this was our goal are so wrapped up in their conspiracy theories that they cannot see the truth. Our goal was to help women understand why they have negative feelings when men take advantage of their bodies and to help these women cope with their negative feelings by offering a variety of resources and outlets for personal expression. I can think of no clearer indication that society needs to learn the truth about date rape than the existence of the aforementioned offending web page and the ideas it espouses.
