[Imc-uk-features] Re: stolen info - Your Killing indymedia

[Roy Bard]

So I'm killing Indymedia by hiding dupes now am I?

Dupes which breach the guidelines......

And it is your belief that the UN-CONVERTED masses will be attracted by
piles of crap, is it?

Your claim that there will only be an ADVERT for the anarchist bookfair
and a callout to an arms trade dinner left on the site is a strawman, as
a cusrory look at the front page will show.

As to discussion of 9/11 on this site, if you care to go back over the
archives, you will find that I was one of the people arguing AGAINST
automatic hiding of all things 9/11 related on the basis of "conspiracy
- non news" ( you used that term recently when you hid a post, did you not?)

It seems to me that your critique is based on a mis-understanding of
what Indymedia is, and where it comes from.

If open publishing was the answer, then usenet was the means........
