I am very much in favor of freedom of expression, but I am concerned that I see the same right-wing provocateurs and ideologues attempt to subvert and transform all posts into unhealthy discussions or trivial american boosterism.

This issue is a delicate one but I do feel it needs to be brought up for mature discussion. I do not even know if it is possible to block posters. At SFIMC there seems to be a waiting period and so I assume some cybereditor is reviewing material. Do we need that here in LA?

I think the fact that young people who access this site seeking alternative voices needs to be considered. If the commentary borad is filled with vile innuendo, violent imagery, porn, and verbal violence than LAIMC risk becoming nothing more than another trite chatroom and leaves all attempts at organinizing an anti-racist, anti-sexist, anti-cop alternative news outlet lost. The ideologues who have contaminated this site and who continue to attack any poster with an alternative view to Pentagon propaganda seem to me to be the instigators. Their aim seems to be the destruction of the site.

I have been an activist for peace and liberty for quite awhile now, and actually communicate with conservatives fairly well, but the waste of space that can be attributed to right wing ideologues for no reason other than to (seemingly) crash the site shows only their lack of integrity and their maliciousness.

I think we need to discuss this. I think, too, I have made my own desires for limits known.
