It's better to ignore KOBE than to respond to KOBE.

by Mary's Roommate Thursday, Jun. 05, 2003 at 5:20 AM

How to deal with KOBE harassment of LA IndyMedia.

I have two sets of advice. One is direct to Indy readers and the other is directed to the Indy volunteers managing this website. This is just advice, feel free to take it or ignore it.

Advice to Indy readers:

KOBE has two primary goals with respect to the Indy reader.

(1) KOBE wishes to smear activists that it fears are highly effective. This is typical of brownshirts. The hope is to silence the targeted activists and to terrify other activists into silence out of the fear that they will become KOBE targets.

(2) KOBE wishes to waste your time responding to them. The more effort you put into playing KOBE's game, the less time you will have for activist work. This serves KOBE's goals.

The best thing you can do is to not respond to KOBE online activities. The only effective way to effect KOBE, if you choose to do so, is to effect KOBE outside of the Internet. KOBE is effected by actions taken against Computers N.L.A. of Harbor City. If you wish to respond to KOBE hate crimes, responses should be directed at Computers N.L.A. There is a relationship between KOBE and Computers N.L.A. The owner of the KOBE website works for Computers N.L.A. They have sponsored him. He will deny this but we have proven that this is a fact.

You can contact Computers NLA as follows:

Lyle, Ned sarge@compnla.com
23700 S. Western Ave
Harbor City, CA 90710
US
310-530-9800 Fax: 310-530-9988

Advice to Indy volunteers:

Our experience has been that active deletion of KOBE posts is the most effective mechanism for stopping KOBE assaults on self publishing media. KOBE is much like the mentally disturbed individual that never flushes a toilet hoping for the thrill that someone will be offended by viewing his mess. Deletion of KOBE posts is like an automatic flushing of a toilet. Such individuals are not likely to use self flushing toilets to exhibit their scat.

Any defamatory post made in the name of an activist should be assumed to be bogus and deleted. The choice of whether to do this belongs to Indy media volunteers. I merely offer this advice from experience.

Great job there.

by Katalyst Thursday, Jun. 05, 2003 at 10:41 AM

So your advice is to ignore them. You say that giving them the attention they seek only encourage them to act, and act negatively. And yet............... you write an article, respond to just about every comment they make no matter the thread, provide (alleged) KOBE contact information and encourage others to investigate them further.

So by your own definition, if giving them attention is the worst thing you can do for the situation, what explains your actions?

We are such fools

We are just wannabe FBI agents with no sex lives. We can't even silence one person. We are nothing if not buffoons.
