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

[guidoreports at riseup.net]

Hi Ana,

As all Chris could manage was:
"There is so much on this thread that I could respond to,
but I doubt I'll have the time or energy to do so..."

Perhaps you or Phunkee can explain which part of the IMC guidlines I have
misread which makes this post by Danny news?:
https://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/08/379676.html
As far as I can make out the first paragraph is a justification by Danny
with regard to his previous posts (like anyone cares?). The next 8 are an
attempt at engaging the frequently hidden 'Kurt Nimmo' and serial
Danny-baiter 'citpecs' in a debate with a vague reference to a conspiracy
regarding Wikipedia. Finally the article finishes with promoted (but
conveniently censored) corporate repost. Grassroots news anyone?

While we are on the subject. Since when was a series of announcements
directed at truthers in America, a suitable 'news' story for a UK
Indymedia service? I am referring to this post originally and quite
rightly hidden by Ben:
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/08/379754.html

For what its worth I have no problem with this post that appeared on the
wire today:
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/2007/09/380221.html
I might not agree with the deluded individuals who appear in it, but it is
an original report about a real demonstration. A demonstration that I
imagine would be given zero coverage in the corp media.

regards

G.
