Public request to IMC Ireland

This a public request to IMC Ireland, i wish to see if others could take this under consideration also.

I live outside of Dublin therefore am unable to take part in any of the meetings that IMC Ireland have in Dublin. For that matter I wish to raise a grievance I and I believe several reader's of IMC Ireland have in common.

One member of the IMC crew in Dublin has taken on a position, I and other readers of this site do not agree with.

This individual goes under the name of Ray.

It is my opinion (im not sure it others agree or disagree, please post), that Ray has taken it upon himself, to police the Irish IMC.

I have no problem with necessary censorship but i believe the line must be drawn when over 40% of all article's on the IMC newswire are attacked, foe either being repeats of a similar newswire item or being some sort of advertisement (only when deemed so by ray).

I dont wish to have Ray thrown off of IMC or anything along those lines, that would be after all restricting free speech.

What i do want to see is that Ray stop attacking every single article, and maybe think twice about posting mass criticism of people's attempt ( i say attempt because this to many is a new form of news) to post news.

Considering i live well outside Dublin and have limited access to communications, this cannot be thrown aside. This is a relevant opinion, my articles have been attacked in the past, and i believe i speek for many on this matter.

If other IMCer's could post there opinions then we could perhaps have some real democracy in this "independent" media centre.
