I sent a complaint to the BBC a few months ago attacking their bias. I requested a reply and didn't get one, so I complained about this last week.
The BBC's response:
Thanks for your e-mail.
I understand you'd like to know why your complaint sent on 19 May 2009 wasn't given a response.
Whilst we aim to issue a response to everyone who requests a reply to their complaint, we will not reply to emails that are of an abusive nature.
Unfortunately, your complaint was deemed abusive as it displayed an extremely aggressive tone and therefore was considered inappropriate and harmful towards members of staff.
I realise you may disagree however we must take a firm stance on hurtful and aggressive emails and all correspondence containing these traits will not be tolerated.
In reply to your original complaint, I can assure you that we're well aware of our commitment to fair, balanced and impartial reporting. We don't seek to denigrate any view, nor to promote any view. We seek rather to identify all significant views, and to test them rigorously and fairly on behalf of the audience.
I hope this clarifies the situation for and would like to take you again for taking the time to contact us.
