[James Love]

This is annoy.com's policy on cooperation with law enforcement

          WARNING 

          It has come to our attention that certain
          people have been using annoy.com to
          deliver what some might consider to be
          threats of physical violence or harm to
          others. 

          Do not mistake our commitment to freedom
          of speech for a license to abuse our service
          in this manner. 

          We plan to cooperate fully with law
          enforcement agencies in whatever efforts
          they make to find you and punish you - even
          if it's some renegade authoritarian
          dictatorship that might crucify your stupid
          ass if they catch you. 

          Free speech and annoy.com are not about
          harassment and definitely not about harm
          or violence. If you think for a second we will
          allow cowardly idiots to spoil our free
          speech party you are making a mistake. A
          huge mistake.
