Popular Irish Politics Discussion Board Offline- Hacking Suspected

Those fools at idiotmedia were obviously delighted at politics.ie's unfortunate situation and took a number of swipes at this sites members and Great Leader, David Cochrane:

I tried to post on that thread (a number of times) sarcastically contrasting the, eh, 'different' moderation styles of politics.ie and the idiotmedia 'collective': basically I called them Stalinist in their approach to free debate. Needless to say, any such post was deleted. Quickly.

Idiotmedia is an abomination: the 'collective' quite obviously resent the very existence of forum such as politics.ie, were issues are discussed with considerably more candor. If free-speech in the wider world was rather like idiotmedia, then those so-called 'antifascist' middle-class boneheads that prevented David Irving to speak would turn Ireland into something that resembles East Germany that-was.

Is there any site that monitors or comments on Idiotmedia? Like 'Indymedia-watch', or something? People like 'Chekov' Feeny and his 'Collective' need to be brought to account for this abomination of free-speech on the internet.

Another poster (called ' I-spy') suggested:

These people are so paranoid, it's pathetic

Does anyone know if that 'Squeak' Feeney balloon who went under the M3 for a day in a tunnel is related to Chekov?

You really don't like Indymedia, ZB?

I think its' okay, but the fact they sometimes delete comments without informing
posters is VERY annoying...

I have discussed issues with Chekov Feeney online-he's a good bloke.

And fair play to "Squeak" for trying to save Tara from the money-grubbers.

I know Chekov personally. And I support the diversion of the M3 away from Tara. But I'm interested in knowing if the eejit who nearly brought a rath down around her own head is related to him or not.

It's...sinister. Sheer censorship and makes a mockery of real debate. Nothing can be discussed honestly. I really resent the 'indy'-media moniker, independent of what? It's just a far-left propaganda site, they have some cheek to whinge about smears and anonymity.

Honestly, what is there to like or respect about idiotmedia? What redeeming features does it have?

He's not though- while the 'Afghan Hunger-strikers' controversy was being discussed on this site, he smeared a poster that was present as having assaulted a female demonstrator. Whether the assault occurred or not in the first instance was a matter of debate in itself.

Well, hardly any immigrant-bashers post there, which is good.

Chekov explained some of Indymedia's policies here:

... Indymedia’s goals, as expressed in the editorial policy, are very different from that of bulletin boards. We primarily try to be a platform to allow under-represented groups and campaigns disseminate their news, not a community-oriented debating site.

I consider my relatives to be protest cannon fodder - useful for sending down holes and so on. First, I have to give them enough drugs though.
