In July of 2020, a post called ‘The Truth Is Anti-Semitic’ attracted a
lot of controversial attention on my old website sandiadams.uk.
This article was created by my then webmaster who was, at the time,
helping me to populate my new website with content because I was very
busy delivering talks and doing other work.
This gave the webmaster a degree of autonomy but this led to the
posting of an article whose content I did not approve of.
This content caused much controversy and I was only made aware of it
once it had been posted and live for a few days. I asked him to remove
the offending article which he did, but he then later re-posted it against my
wishes and without my knowledge.
The backlash caused by this article was truly distressing and disruptive
for me, I was forced to abandon my website and domain name sandiadams.uk and start this new website sandiadams.net and manage it myself.
Torben Frank has apologised for posting the article but I feel it necessary to
make a clear distinction that this was NOT my choice and I was not
responsible for the posting of this article nor do I endorse its content.
Since then, I have found a new webmaster and taken control of my content
to make sure that I fully stand by anything posted in the future.
Here is a statement from the previous webmaster, Torben Frank
“Dear Sandi,
I’m very sorry for the trouble caused by me posting an article on your
site last year which precipitated such vociferous opposition to you. I
realise the topic is extremely difficult to approach due to the
historical and social conditions surrounding the subject. It wasn’t my
intention to suggest you support any of the ideas in the content I had
posted on your behalf, and realise that you didn’t have sufficient
editorial control at the time, as you were busy.
The association between you and anti-semitism is completely unfounded
and I know that you are not a person who entertains such beliefs, so
again, I’m sorry that someone decided to attack you and hold you
responsible for the article and extrapolate a reason to vilify you and
misrepresent your intentions.
I feel it is important for people to understand what happened here so
that you can be exonerated from any responsibility. I wish you luck for
your future endeavours.
If anyone wishes to further ask me about this, they can contact me
directly at torbz@peaceuk.co.uk”
