Graffitting is compulsory for gang membership

Regretful, 27.09.2004 02:44
Those who do not approve of graffiti are not welcome in Indymedia.

It can be amusing, seen from outside, how Oxford Indymedia is
dominated by “Spanner”. Does he own a lot of the equipment, or is it
just charisma? Now that he is back from his holidays, his own brand of
totalitarian censorship is back with him.

Yes, Spanner behaves like the boy who owns the football. His current
craze is graffiti. There have been a number of voices cautiously
raised against this often mindless vilification of the local
environment, but they are ruthlessly suppressed. Seen from outside, it
is really quite funny, but very sad. Spanner is convinced that we need
slogans like “Fresh” , “Maui” , “We are the evil-doers” “ego”,
“asbolutely” (sic), “Time 4 tea”, along with some more sensible but
many illegible, plastered in the streets, in parks, and beside the
river, whether we and other folk like it or not, and some with our
website address attached. How very sad !
