[Imc-communication] "Mediation" RE Germany's Belgium proposal

[zcat at ametrika.com]

hello / hola  :)
I for 1 agree that the belgium imc should for all imc's in belgium - a 
portal like the UK-imc is for the collectives here they all partake in the 
running of the uk site and link from/to it.
They equally help each other and people who put up barracades to other imc's 
are not working within the spirit of Indymedia.
Hey no one said this world is fair but fsck that , thats why we are here to 
trey and bring a bit of fairness and equallity to the world.
I really think that for one collective to hold that name is wrong when there 
is more than one imc in the country.
what is so hard about changing the name to that local area? They cannot 
speak as indymedias of the other areas. 

some quotes i like and strongly agree with.
"to me lokal is before national/state, the base before the big"
"if it is called belgium, the center column has to be from all belgium 
people that collaborate in indymedia"
"If no consesus can be reached than this url shouldnt be used"

Fortunatly, somwhere between chance and mystery lies imagination,
the only thing that protects our freedom, despite the fact that
people keep trying to reduce it or kill it altogether.
