[Imc-aotearoa-ed] another violence post?

[Brian van Dam]

Hi All,
                With regard to the article:

http://www.indymedia.org.nz/front.php3?article_id=756&group=webcast

I felt it should be hidden because:

*    it openly identifies a person (Arnost Wratislaw) and then suggests 
he should not receive a hip replacement operation.
*    It accuses the person of developing agent orange (generally 
accepted as a naaaaaaasty chemical agent) used horribly by the `Allies' 
against the Vietnamese, and it associates him with the Nazi's 
(indirectly - through the grammar ``this is a disaster because this man 
came here after wwii and developed the crap hitler was using on the jews 
into agent orange'')
*    it contains several generic insults to NZers for no particular 
reason, ``new zealanders dont give a damn'', ``would in fact much rather have 
nazi war criminals being operated on than a sick nz kid'',
``as disgustingly greedy as kiwis are'', etc.

Sorry for the misleading reason given before - `violence' is not really 
the issue here, rather , it is unjustified slander of a person and 
people (Kiwi's). Depends on what standard we set for the site I guess, I 
seem to be more conservative than others on this score in that I feel 
our readers will turn off the site if we let it descend into posts with 
personal abuse too much.

Cheers,
                    Brian.
