hi moz

i promised you a reply and here you are:

Quoting actfour peace :

r7> you presume too much fad. don't make assumptions based
r7> on no evidence.

> posted it said waiting for modrater etc..

it indeed true that this message was held in the moderation queue. in
fact
all your posts are moderated [for all your multiple email addresses].
this
was a concensus decision taken by the admins/moderators of the list
last
year [more on the admins and this decision later].

it is worth pointing out at this point that you have not been singled
out
for this, there is more than one person whose posts are moderated [i
obviously cannot go into further details].

> this has happend often when i have made an effort to
> post to list..

see preceeding para.

> i have spoken to atw on line and on the phone who i
> suspect is blocking my post...

this suspicion is *wrong*, please put it out of your head immediately.

i refer you to the bottom of:

 http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-sheffield

the three list admins are:

 r7@riseup.net
 cc@riseup.net
 chiapas@riseup.net

atw is not a list admin and therefore cannot have "blocked" your post.
if
you want to communicate with all three admins directly, send email to:

 imc-sheffield-owner@lists.indymedia.org

you know all three individuals and i think [and believe you think too]
that
they are all intelligent enough to discuss and make decisions on posts
on
the basis of content not author. if you think the admin "regime" is
wrong,
say so. perhaps we should have more, perhaps we should rotate the role.
these things are all up for discussion.

> of course he has given me what i feel is bullshit etc..

you are of course free to feel what you like, but if the bullshit was
"no i
didn't block your post" you need to reconsider your position.

> for years there was persistant rumours regard me being a grass
> and so fourth..

ok, so to the crux of the matter. it is *not* true that you are
moderated
because you are suspected af being a grass. this is an assumption you
have
made. when we made the decision in october 2003 it was because of a
number
of factors. these included posts made by you to the sheffield social
forum
list naming persons where the fash could read. i also believe i
remember
inappropriate info being posted on the imc-newswire.

at the imc-network meeting quite a few of us took time out to talk to
you
about how you felt about being on redwatch. your behaviour during that
period made people feel nervous, insecure and paranoid [just like you].
this
is not because anyone thought you were a grass, but because your own
nervousness, insecurity and paranoia were getting in the way of you
making
good decisions about what was appropriate and what was not.

i wouldn't put it like this. i would say if you've breached the
editorial
guideline for the newswire [which you have] and have also posted
inappropriate information to open-archive political lists [which you
have],
i think it right for the admins to have a look at what you're posting.
we
may save you from posting something you may regret. consider: you have
been
moderated for five months, how may posts by you have been knocked back
in
that time?

perhaps it is time to reconsider moderating your posts, i think it
might be.
but conjouring conspiracies based on whether or not you're a grass is
not
helpful and inventing imagined personal vendattas isn't either.

you made some bad choices last october about what information to
publish
where, those led to your posts being moderated. you admitted at the
time
that perhaps it would take time to rebuild trust --- that was the
truth, it
has taken time. whether the time has finished is a conversation that i
hope
we will both be part of.

> i know love and respect you and i hope much is the same feeling
> towords me..

i know this mozaz and i've told you what i feel about the way you've
come
out remarkably unscathed considering the life you've had. respect is an
underestimate. love you? of course i do, but that doesn't i agree with
you
all the time. it also doesn't mean that your behaviour doesn't
infuriate me
sometimes [which is why my reply to fad was a little terse and tetchy
---
sorry fad]. you're a barrel of contradictions my friend :-) [as are we
all,
but sometimes your contradictions are a little more public than most].

you are lucky to have a friend like fad.

big up to both of you.

love & rage
