"Santa Cruz Indymedia is not intended to be a discussion forum;... it is not a site for those who wish to disrupt the community being built."

Building a community, yet without allowing discussion? Sounds like a scary community.

I fail to see how this agrees with "Independent".

"Independent Media Center" is somewhat false advertising. It should be called "Independent Progressive Media Center". That would be an accurate name. This site does not foster true independence, because it does not allow dissenting views in either articles or comments.
