Nessie, for about a month I attempted to participate in your SF-IMC. At first I thought it would be a good way to get another point of view and participate in some sort of on-line news/information format. I assumed that the free flow of ideas would be accepted and celebrated. In retrospect, I realize that was not to be on SF-IMC, your IMC. I soon discovered my posts were being deleted/edited/censored. (You choose whatever term you feel like.) Some of them were _really_ controversial, like the one where I said that Universities should be for the free flow of ideas. In another I made the apparently forbidden comment that a Jew was free to go to Temple here in the U.S. and that was good.
I read the editorial rules SF-IMC had and could not figure out how I had violated them. So I e-mailed SF-IMC with my questions about what I was doing wrong, and why my posts were getting deleted. And I received no reply. And then you posted the following when you banned Gehrig.
“If you defend Zionism here in any way whatsoever, or say anything at all in favor of Israel, it will be removed.”
I replied (in a poorly written response I might add) with the following posts. They were quickly censored from your IMC.
This is dedicated to the memory of Mr. David Gehrig

To the World at Large:
On Tuesday, February 03, 2004, at 08:53 PM, one of the editors published a post called “non sequiturs”. It had the following words in it. “Zionism is racism. Racism may not be defended on this site, by anyone, at any time, for any reason. If you want to defend Zionism, do it on some other site. If you defend Zionism here in any way whatsoever, or say anything at all in favor of Israel, it will be removed. If you do it twice, you will banned. If you post again after that, I’ll remove everything you ever posted.” This ultimatum has made my decision very simple. If sides must be chosen, then I will choose.
I SUPPORT ISRAEL.
If saying anything in support of Israel makes you a Zionist, I AM A ZIONIST.
Sincerely:
DOL
Bring back gehrig

To the editors of sf.indymedia:
If Wendy Campbell is back posting, then I see no reason why gehrig should not be allowed to post.
Sincerely:

Nessie, can you explain why the above posts were so worthy of being censored? |
