Great, why has it taken so long for you to clear up that
you never claimed authorship?

I never believed you wrote it, did I?

I hid it within minutes of it being published:

  I have hidden this article under the 'innacurate'
  guidelines, it is a piece of disinformation no doubt
  written by the sites, apparently professional, disinfo
  troll. It was clearly not written by Ben and has been
  crafted as a, fairly clever, create and exagerate
  internal divisions, divide-and-rule, intervention:

Who is "their"? And how did Jimdog come to believe that:

  I'm currenly at Glastonbury with Ben and so can confirm
  tha this isn' written by a disinformation troll as
  feared but posted by a highly active and respected
  member of the global Indymedia community, Ben himself.

Who are you calling fools? The only two people I'm aware
that believed it was written by you were Jimdog and Iggyp:

  It has been confirmed that the writer of the original
  piece is not a troll, but someone who has written many
  articles (and posted as himself) in the past.  Does the
  fact that he is an ex-admin make him a troll?  He signed
  it himself, and acknowledges it.
