A comment was posted to one of the posts on graffitti in Oxford which has been delected.

BTW - thanks very much to the poster of those pixs - you have done us all a service, I am envious (in a good way) of you and of the artists who made those works.

The comment stated that these graffitti works were;
not art
were just damage
would not lead to social change

I wanted to reply, but cannot, because the comment was deleted by the monitors of Ox Indymedia. Now I cannot see how that comment breached any of the guidlines of Ox Indy.

Obviously the eds did not agree with it. Niether did I.But it made points which many feel and should be rationally responded to. It raised issues of:
the nature of art
what is damage
the ownership of commonspace
what might lead to social change

It is outrageous for the monitors of Ox Indymedia to censor that comment.

Please put it back up, so that it can open a debate. If you do not put it back up, then you will be saying that you do not want debate. That will be bad news.
