[Imc-uk-features] Unhidden: Conspiraloons, Ravers and Peace Activists

[guidoreports at riseup.net]

Personally I think it should be rehidden. It is non-news.

I also cant help noticing that someone has put Fisk's article up having
censored all the bits they dont like (like first few paragraphs which take
the piss out of the conpiracy theorists). This has been promoted as an
addition. Did Fisk put this up himself?? Of course not. Do our editorial
guidlines allow individuals to impersonate real people? Surely that breaks
the 'misleading rule'?

Danny's paranoid rant is nothing more than a vehicle used to have a go at
his critics. Thats the same Danny, by the way, who tries to publish
moderators personal email addresses and recently publically described
Chris and ftp as a pair of 'fucking morons'. So why encourage this wanker?
Why defend certain peoples right to bombarde a newswire with non news??

Chris it is my opinion that you are willfully abusing your position as an
IMC moderator to push your own political agenda. That agenda being the
promotion of your all important conspiracy theories; and moving IMC UK in
a direction where it becomes a mouthpiece for them. This will NEVER happen
while I am still breathing.
