[Imc-worcester] petition to block this article

[gerardo rodriguez]

Well, i agree with you john, im not against 'freedom of speech'. i.e. 
indymedia uruguay have this editorial policy:

"We don't agree either with commercial publicity or electoral propaganda, we 
belive that is not the function of our site. We ask for special attention in 
this point: who publish must discern clearly the articles that have content 
that aport something to the discussion, insted of others articles that are 
propaganda that promote persons, business, party or anothers organizations"

"No estamos de acuerdo tampoco con la publicidad comercial o propaganda 
electoral, pues creemos que no es la función de nuestro sitio. Pedimos 
especial atención en este punto: quienes publican deberían discernir 
claramente los artículos que tienen contenido y aportes para la discusión, 
de los que son panfletos que promocionan a personas, empresas, partidos u 
otras organizaciones."

and again, i think that for a healthy collective we need to adopt this point 
in the editorial policy, because i dont want indymedia to became a place for 
the fuckin politicians,,,,,

that's all folks  ^_^
