Greetings from theglobe.com:

Thank you for bringing this situation to our attention. Spammers are not
welcome in our community (see theglobe's Position on Spam and Commitment to
the Responsible Use of Network Resources at
http://www.theglobe.com/common_includes/spam.html) and we appreciate your
vigilance. 

We understand your reaction , however as a passive conduit, theglobe.com
cannot monitor user websites. We do respond to breaches of our user
agreement when we learn of irresponsible behavior and we pride ourselves on
being a long-standing, responsible member of the Internet community. We
take the abuse of our resources very seriously.

As far as the site itself is concerned, so long as our users comply with
our user agreement, we respect their right to say what they want. Although
we understand and respect your concerns about the site, because there does
not appear to be a violation of our user agreement, it would be
inappropriate for us to dictate what this user can and cannot say. 

However, please note that the spam itself was not sent from our mail
servers and is, therefore, beyond our control. We urge you to contact the
owners of the mail server from which the spam originated. Encourage them to
deploy spam filters like theglobe.com does, and to check that their mail
relays are closed. We pride ourselves on being a long-standing, responsible
member of the Internet community and take the abuse of our resources very
seriously. 

Thanks for your e-mail; we very much appreciate your interest in and
commitment to our community.

Regards, 
Abuse Desk, theglobe.com
