Well, the thing is, he keeps on including links to his website in his 
posts, and we do not as a general rule allow people to promote hate 
sites on the Boston Indy Media site. I also really don't want to give a 
neo-Nazi leader a platform to speak on Boston Indy Media, no matter 
what he's saying. He's got plenty of white supremacist sites he express 
his vile views on, so we're hardly stifling him by hiding his posts. --
