Trots + meditation = Permanent Relaxation.

by as do many other impersonators Tue May 06, 2003 15:40

The author who was listed on this post is one example of this.

Can regulars put their disagreements to one side and try to point out / deal with any suspicious posts/comments that appear to be impersonations of regulars/others.

Someone is stirring the shit in new ways around here to create distrust and suspicion among users of the site.

We need to deal with this and suggestions and thoughts on this would be useful and welcome.

However it would be revolutionary if political parties included meditation in their manifesto particular under healthcare, education or criminal rehabilation.

i didnt really think it was Kevin. at least this time it wasnt damaging to the person imitated.

Maybe a log in would help. but that wouldnt stop people from having multiple email adds & usernames.

RBB, Nora G, Kevin, John Throne, Ray, Pat C, Oisin, Brian Cahill,Samba Band Joe, Magneto nand many others. all have been impersonated at one stage or another.

sometimes its been funny (like when the fake Nora G denounced Ray and me as petit bourgeois opportunists) but it can be annoying and damagng to the person impersonated.

dont know how it can be stopped without destroying the ethos of indymedia.

Two crucial issues faces correctional systems today: excessive levels of stress for correctional staff and inmates, and high rates of recidivism.

The post is genuine enough. I circulated it yesterday to various people, and somebody's forwarded it here. I've no idea who forwarded it, and apologies if they've taken someone else's name to do so.

We don't generally get Trots at these events, but the odd anarchist, eco-warrior, community activist, RTSer definitely!

The reason that I ask is that this announcement is probably only going to stay visible on the newswire for one or two days (because that's how fast the newswire moves), and your event is occuring in mid-August. So, it'd be good to leave an announcement in a place that people can check e.g. on protest.net

This problem is not solved by you reposting the event (that'd be a repeat post and I'd delete it -- not having a go at you personally, not saying that you'd do that, just pointing out the problem) so the best thing is to add it to protest.net

Of course, you and others don't have to do this -- I'm just pointing out how the site works in case of public confusion.

Thanks.
