Mick, you seem to be the main person acting on behalf of your 
collective, that is why I address you. I more than welcome other members 
of your collective to participate on this list. I acknowlege the 
contribution from noodle string.

indeed you can publish where you wish.

Firstly, I have not been involved in sydney.indy for years, only about 8 
or so months.
Second, provide me with URLs to stories which you want hidden and I will 
consider hiding them.

I have read the imc-darwin email list archives and seen posts on various 
newswires. I cannot tell what is truth. There is conflicting stories. 
Can you appreciate that people outside of Darwin, outside of what was 
the Darwin collective, cannot see what actually happened? It's all text. 
I cannot see who is lying and who is not. I see the only way forward is 
to work to form a new collective, or collectives, and setup new websites 
and domains. This requires you to go through the new-imc process. Mick, 
is it such a big deal to fill out a form? I would have thought in your 
struggle to help the One Mile Dam community, filling out forms and 
dealing with beaurocracy was part of the deal? What is your goal? do you 
want an indymedia.org subdomain? If you spent the time you have taken to 
post stories to various newswires and email lists filling out the 
new-imc form, you might have had your domain back long ago. Why not just 
do it? Your tactics up until now have proven unsuccessful, can you not 
see they are not working? Don't you think it is time for new tactics?

 > Demonstrable liars and thugs can not approach New imc

yes they can. Anyone can apply, thugs, fascists, anarchists, liberal 
party hacks, Gary, Fiona, and you. The only thing that will stop them is 
an an incomplete or inadequate application, or a block from an imc 
collective. That is how things are.

Mick, READ what I have said. I am not going to 'quietly give the URL' to 
anybody. I have no power to do such a thing. That is up to new-imc, 
imc-process, and DNS. All I am doing is helping people understand what 
they have to do to get a successful application through. Again, do you 
want an indymedia.org subdomain? LISTEN to me. I am telling you what the 
  situation is. I will help you and your people get an indymedia if you 
are willing to co-operate. I'm not saying it will be easy, or even just, 
I am just here to point out what is.


> We don't have to do anything to be accepted by indymedia

Well I'm afraid this is not true Mick. Indymedia.org is an autonomous 
entity in this world. It does what it pleases. You have to co-operate 
with the indymedia powers-that-be if you want to be part of it. That is 
the way things are. That is all I am saying. THAT IS THE WAY THINGS ARE. 
It may not be right, it may not be just.

Stacy and others intervened because they are unhappy with you being a 
part of indymedia. The forces that be were in their favour. JUST OR NOT. 
  That is something you will have to accept, and work with.

Mick, here is my advice. Stop attacking me, stop attacking sydney, stop 
attacking oceania, stop posting to newswires about this issue and deal 
with this issue on this list. Realise the problems you face if you want 
to re-enter indymedia. Deal with those problems, use new tactics.

And finally Mick, realize I AM NOT ATTACKING YOU, i am trying to help 
you, I am reporting the situation THAT IS, as I see it.
