apologies to all peeps who are not interested in this little discussion on 
editorial reponsibilities - best delete this message now then eh?

I wasn't going to but I wanna reply to a couple of points that Tony has 
raised because I feel that they have certain implications for the way the 
site is being run at the moment and how it can be improved for the future.

First up Tony the business with me & the Cube has nothing to do with BIMC, 
& using a public list to air this matter I feel is shitty e-mail etiquette 
- salacious gossip it may well be though...

>I'm not angry - just really disappointed with your editorial stewardship of
>the Bristol IMC site.


'Editorial stewardship' suggests that I've been delegating certain 
tasks.  This has not been the case as you well know. I've been trying to 
muddle through doing the middle column mainly on my own.  I am not 
'editor'    - which is what you are now accusing me of. Although i might be 
an asshole at times, no argument there mate...

In my previous e-mail I answered your query about why you were removed as 
an Administrator and I in turn asked why you haven't been doing any work on 
the centre column as you promised.  Its telling to see that you haven't 
replied about either.  I've spent fucking hours attempting to keep that 
site up to date.  Disappointment? As a famous man said " you can't please 
everyone all of the time..."

For the record Tony I was also in attendance that day and I refute your 
accusation of distortion & number boosting. Your feature was lacking in 
accuracy & missing vital content and I only did what I believed was the 
right thing - much like you did. Also again you are accusing me of removing 
your news wire article, which is something I just didn't do and have never 
done. See my previous e-mail reply for what really happened...If you're 
aggrieved by the changes I made to the middle column then I apologize but 
there was no malice (as you're implying) involved and I sure as hell didn't 
change your news wire article... Adjusted a couple of sentences in the 
middle column yes - but theres a big difference between that and adjusting 
the content of the newswire, so quit your 'Ian is a fucking censor' routine 
and get with the facts. And another thing, if you were sure that it was me 
who made these changes then why didn't you phone me or e mail me? it could 
of easily solved your problem...

In hindsight there was no communication between you & I - something to 
learn by for the future methink...As you well know your contributions are 
valued & always welcome.  When you get 2 people updating the same middle 
column feature on the same day then shit like this happens - i've seen this 
on UK IMC a number of times.  These mishaps can be worked out though. So 
lets make sure this doesn't happen again eh?

"most of the stuff you've been doing since will find little or no resonance
in the community but that doesn't appear to bother you."      That's a 
downright shitty thing to level at me Tony.  You make it sound is if i'm 
some kind of powercrazed megalomaniac - OTT?  Yours is the first complaint 
that i've encountered. Get real,

BIMC is only as good as the News wire submissions. The middle column 
section has only ever drawn stories from the news wire - i have done very 
little sub-editing. If community groups are not using the newswire in the 
way that we want them to then how is that my personal responsibility?  That 
aside the point that you're trying to make is important.  BIMC is wallowing 
in the proverbial activist ghetto but not entirely.  It deserves to be so 
much more and i'm sure it will be soon.  But your criticism here is of a 
personal nature where it really should be directed towards the entire BIMC 
collective. If BIMC is failing to engage community groups then yes this 
needs to be addressed (i've been saying this from the begining) but you are 
as much responsible for this situation as I am - both being involved in the 
collective.  You can't lay the blame for BIMC's failings solely at my 
doostep....that sucks shit and you know it.

& The Bristolian party? well It seems to get as much middle column action 
as Fairford but I know that you and Bone don't get on, so i'll let that one 
slide.  Does anyone else feel that the Bristolian party is getting too much 
middle column action?  In my personal opinion BIMC should support it all 
the way -  and i don't think it puts the integrity of the site in any 
danger whatsoever, in fact the opposite  - its presence enhances the 
site...Look at Chiapas Indymedia - should they stop supporting the 
Zapatistas? Should Brazil Indymedia stop supporting the MST?  Ya Basta  We 
are all Bristolians!


>I have absolutely no intention of contributing if my work is simply going
>to be lacerated.  I had subbed middle column pieces once or twice. But
>NEVER detracted anything from the content of a piece.

I think we'll have to agree to disagree here.  I've had to change back a 
feature of John Serpicos that you edited because I felt that he wouldn't 
appreciate being sub-edited by Anyone -  not just you.  Also you included 
links to corporate websites which again I felt detracted from Johns 
story.  If you're unhappy then I suggest you take this up with him and not me.


>There is also a new policy of not having 'read more' sections from the
>centre page - this ensures that anyone who wants to point out factual
>inaccuracies or add useful info to your work can't - insulating you from
>criticism and totally against the spirit of the site.

This is a new one on me...did I miss a meeting? obviously...I thought the 
golden rule of the middle column was to not fuck with peoples copy.  Yes 
correct spelling mistakes but try to avoid sub-editing if you can.  That is 
not always possible but thats the way I've been trying to do it.  Maybe you 
need to learn one line of simple HTML and then you can insert as many 
extraneous links to a feature as you desire.  Factual inaccuracies or 
criticism are fore comments section - when it works...  maybe i'm 
misinterpreting what you've written here - i'll leave it for a meeting 
discussion...


>Unless there are guarantees of
>1. my copy not being torn to shreds

1- a slight over exagaration

>2. features being posted as newswire stories and linked from the centre
>column - so readers can comment

2- Features ALWAYS HAVE BEEN News wire stories Tony


>I see no purpose in contributing to Bristol IMC anymore.

Your choice.  Although I think you're making a mistake in your 
assumptions.  As I said b4 your contributions are important.


>Your assertion that I should be grateful that none of my pieces have been
>removed from the newswire is both laughable and sinister.

you're making shit up now Gosling.  I'm now the 'sinister editor' as 
well.  do me a favour...that's the funniest thing I've heard all day


>Anyway - I thought I deserved a right of reply since there were so many

>list Ian but that's my last word on this subject.  We'll have a cup of tea
>and a chat eh?  And I for one will spare everyone any more online
>disagreements .

ditto.  Your criticism Tony is mostly welcome, the site does indeed need a 
shake up ...but your personal tirade against me is well OTT geezer.  As i 
said before yours has been the only complaint that I've seen.  But i've 
heard more people praise Bristol Indymedia then slag it off.  Its on the 
right track. There are still teething problems but its getting there.

cheerz

aggrieved&nbsp; But<br>
your aggressive accusations of censorship (which you flagged up into
the<br>
middle column ) were slightly misplaced and a little OTT i thought<br>

middle<br>

It seems that we need to have a session about middle column<br>

Originally important decisions were made about the middle column
protocol<br>
when the site was set up back in Nov2001.&nbsp; These decisions were made
by<br>
consensus.&nbsp;&nbsp; If I remember correctly you weren't involved in
BIMC at that<br>
time.&nbsp; Now I've tried to stick by this as best as I can - in fact
there<br>
hasn't been any complaints about the middle column content to my
knowledge<br>
(apart from your Fairford censorship allegations) .&nbsp; I've said it b4
and<br>
i'll say it again, If these middle column editorial decisions need
altering<br>
( as often things do from time to time, new people coming on board

then lets discuss them at a meeting and vote on it.&nbsp; That's the way
all<br>
decisions have been made so far.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br><br>

mibbee not. But i haven't had any phone calls from you ...although I
have<br>
left messages for you!&nbsp; sigh <br><br>
I'm not gonna get into a flame session Tony which is what I think
your<br>
trying to provoke. They generally serve no purpose. If you want to
speak<br>
further about this and other stuff then lets get together over a nice
cup<br>
of tea and do so.&nbsp; <br><br>
By the way is anybody planning on going to Lancaster next weekend for
the<br>
indymedia moot? do you wanna run a car up Tony? I'm up for it...can we
take<br>
petrol money out of the kitty for this?<br><br>
<br>
cheerz<br>
