Posts to Occupy Melbourne
I continue to post on the occupy Melbourne site. At this time not one of my posts has been allowed by the moderators. Given this censoring of my posts by Occupy Melbourne I will provide those posts here.
“I’d love to know why my posts have not been allowed. Isn’t dissent a part of every good democracy?”
“I’d love to see some more direct action to focus attention on Occupy Melbourne. We have lost the media’s interest, it seems…”
“You guys ought to be ashamed of your discrimmination. I’m utterly flummoxed by it. How dare you. What gives you the right? Shame!”
“I think if the General Assembly is going to adopt all these rules about “not speaking unless asked to speak” etc then it ought to adopt a few more such as “facilitator not to jump on people for stretching their legs” (this happened to me), “facilitator not to tell people where they should stand” (this also happened to me), “facilitators to provide for dissent by posting all comments on website” (something which is obviously not happening), if you want people to speak only when called upon then provide an opportunity for everyone who wants to speak to speak, don’t silence people or cut people off or tell them they can’t speak. Be open, honest, fair, reasonable, democratic, organic, real.”
