That comment is innacurate as it does appear to confuse you and Mark:

  "I also think that someone needs to take a careful look at Northern
  Indymedia, where according to a poster (who provided links) a couple
  of days ago, it is not now possible even to advertise the screening of
  a film about the Weather Underground (60's or 70's armed struggle
  group) without the same heavy-footed pacifist stepping in and
  'blocking' it on the basis of the ridiculous World Health Organisation
  criteria on violence that he has imposed. WE have in essence lost
  Leeds and Bradford Indymedia and York Indymedia it seems to someone
  who may have good computer skills (though he can't do a basic Google
  search when it suits him) but who frequently behaves in a dictatorial
  way in terms of imposing narrow blinkered 'politics' which few of us
  share."

As you know the screening event was hidden by you, not Mark:

Following an anon complaint:

The hiding was supported by Mick (on the basis that it was organised by
FRFI rather than based on objecting to the film itself):

But dispite objections from Protag:

And me:

The screening event announcement wasn't unhidden, more on this
discussion:

Personally I'd have thought you might be best off posting a comment to
the thread yourself correcting the inaccuracies? 

But if people think this comment needs to be hidden rather than
responded to I'm not going to object.
