Berkeley's Wellstone Club and KPFA Reacall - Censorship
Berkeley's Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club threw me off their Yahoo list for posting articles there by Henry Norr and Ann Garrison
Berkeley's Wellstone Democratic Renewal Club just threw me off their Yahoo group (wdrc [at] yahoogroups.com), in violation of their stated polcy:
"We expect that as members of this list, we can monitor ourselves. If that turns out to be an error, the Executive Committee of WDRC will notify the poster that their post is inflammatory and then delete it from the archive. The Club reserves the right to deny anyone the use of the WDRC list-serv for violation of these rules"
For posting two articles, one by Henry Norr that appeared in the Berkeley Daily Planet and one by Ann Garrison in the Fog City Journal, that they apparently didn't like. No one ever contacted me. Just woke up to find out "I"m not a member anymore".
I'm not sure you can "renew" much of anything by engaging in hamfisted censorship.
Anyone care to comment?
Or does the "progressive community" think this is perfectly A-ok?
