Big issue

10.09.2005 09:18

The bigger problem IM now faces is the practice of removing and what's worse editing comments. In the last year this has become widespread with a couple of the moderators refusing to allow any views which are not the same as their own.

IM started as a wonderful idea but it has become corrupted by those who think they "own" it. The rise of blogging has seen it become largly an irelevance to the activist world as a source of news.

A shame but life moves on
