First things first. "Laughing" and "Free Speech Everywhere" is obviously the same person, probably Lee Kaplan. (When you use two psuedonyms, try coming up with another phrase besides, "self-appointed Indie elite")

FSE wrote: "to insure that our rights are respected" That's spelled, "ensure." IMC is not a government agency, but a collection of individuals, who volunteer to run this site. As such, the people who run IMC have NO OBLIGATION to "ensure your rights." Just like the editor of DAFKA.org makes decisions about what goes on that site, so too do the editors here on SC IMC. They get to make decisions about which articles are featured on the site, and which articles aren't. Sometimes stories get posted that do not meet the criteria for what the VOLUNTEERS WHO RUN THE SITE have decided on. Those articles are put into the hidden page, deleted page, or sometimes just moved to the "elsewhere" newswire. Get over it, and next time, try and write your articles and comments with these guidelines in mind: santacruz.indymedia.org/mod/info/display/policy/index.php
