[Imc-india] Disturbing development

[Harsh Kapoor]

Hindutva types are here to stay as long as we allow them this 
privileged open publishing model. Hateful or sickening material they 
will use all means to keep up their work of disruption. It would be 
terribly naive to assume they will since its managed by some others. 
Its a pity there is no way so far of monitoring what gets posted 
before it gets instantly published, if that were possible we could 
shut these guys out, till then we are into long term daily policing 
work.

It would be good to have some others besides Ganesh and myself, who 
have been doing this, but some of this is like fire fighting, the 
fascists come and lob their stuff and then we cleanup.

Time would be better spent if we froze all publishing on the wire for 
a temporary period, that would surely help.

It would be good if some others join in too
