Who controls the controllers

I followed this morning a series of posts onto the newswire concerning the editorial policy. It seemed that one of the editors got his knickers into a twist because a contributor dared to put him straight about a few facts. This contributors reward ? Complete censorship by the editors.
So I decided to do a little checking and research in my lunch break -we teachers do get the off hour off ! Lo and behold I discovered that one of the editors of IM-UK is none other than Roy Bard, the same man now calling himself FTP when posting. I will leave others to judge if Roy is a suitable person to be in control of the IM-UK editorial choice but I list the following:
In April 2003 Roy wrote an article for a French website where he claimed a French civilian was threatended with being shot dead by an Israeli soldier. The entire piece is considered by many to be a complete fabrication.
In May 2003 he penned a similar fabricated story for a US Far Right website called USA-exile which claimed an American Peace Activist had been threatended with being shot by an Israeli soldier. A retraction has never been published
On the network54 site other articles of dubious accuracy have been put up by him.
On the .insomnomaniac.com website we can read how Roy think the world's problems are the result of a "Zionist Concpiracy"
You decide
