So today one of my teachers submitted a complaint about me to our network admin which has resulted in my web access being removed. The complaint wasn't about when I was using the internet to access sites, but for the content.
Two of the pages he has reported me for:
http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&t=826991 - For simply reading this post he deemed me to be using the internet to access racist material (Even though I correctly pointed out the difference between religion and race at the time). Now I could understand how some of the comments in that post could be deemed offensive but in large it's a discussion board, and these comments do arise, to deem a whole site "racist" because of this is absurd.
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/1601495/anonymising-bittorrent-code-downfall - This was today's result which resulted in my college internet access being revoked. When filing out the complaint the teacher stated I was investigating ways to become anonymous on bittorrent. When I expressed that all I was doing was reading a news article he turned into dumb mode and ignored this.
Now tomorrow I have a meeting with several higher ups in my college about these and am worried that they are going to consider his opinion on these two sites as correct, purely because of siding with a teacher over a pupil.
If you were a teacher and saw someone on this things how would you react? Would you agree with my teachers opinion on these two links or would you say I was in the right with my defense claims?
Thanks.
