But on free speech issues I am definately a lefty. I understand screening, and turning things off or even deleting them when they happen to be pornographic because no one wants to be horny at work.
However, this ignore list is rather silly.
All it does is prove once and for all that anyone can be a fascist, no matter what side of politics you're on.
I never thought of Indymedia as an extremist site.
Infact open dialougue from the right should be encouraged, if only so that we have a chance to rebutt and make them look stupid occasionally.
This is a sad feature for Indymedia which will probably be abused and leave a lot of interesting things off the site while the evil righties who are part of this clan will certainly find another way to post.
By the way, there is a middle ground in politics where everyone can be heard. Not all of the comments made by these people were so out of line, although I agree a lot were. It's just allowing people to be ignorant at their own risk.
And if these guys are your enemies, you should get to know them or you're in trouble.
