Livejournal Censors Anti-ASUC Material
Hi chums dis is my first post on da blog. =)
I tried to get a debate started on the UC Berkeley Live Journal Site a couple of weeks ago. After getting mostly positive responses the moderators took it down for whatever reason.
Two days ago I went ahead and tried to post it again, within a couple of hours it had more than 25 responses but yet again the moderators took it down.
My current effort is this post which deals with the policies of the live journal moderators.
Response from some users thus far:
"Hey dude. If you want, email me the thing and I'll post it on my LJ. A lot of ppl read my shit"
"YES, PLEASE... can a moderator please just let us know why these posts got deleted? they weren't offensive, and they were topical, even interesting."
"I give Mr. SmashT all my non-financial/non-tangible support. His statements are relevant. His facts are substantiated. And his reasoning is sound. His writing is mildly annoying at worst and comedic genius at best. Regardless, it's unfair to discriminate against a particular vernacular."
Conclusion?:
so as we can see da community is responding very well to getting rid of da ASUC. but for some reason da ASUC's fwends the mods at live journal are twying to suppress my message. dis is fukin bullshiT censorship.
its time to smashT dese fukers. go make ur voice heard on da live journal site!

Those actions are taking away from ASUC's reputation even more. Obviously the posts were not sipmly deleted by some ignorant moderator.
They prolly were. Still, if you want to get support, you need someone who writes normally, as folks won't respect your writing style. You have a bunch of bloggers here. Why don't any of them do it?
Get a life!

DTI: I guess Tom Paine was on vacation so you got this guy. LOL. Some revolution!
The community on livejournal is not responding to getting rid of the ASUC. They just don't like that you're getting "censored".
It's not about the content of your post. It's about someone not being able to say what they think.
Those are 2 different issues.
smashT is one blogger and we have several, and he contributes accordingly. Pay attention to some of the other bloggers as well.
As far as free speech is concerned I am an absolutist. It doesn't matter for what reason his speech was censored, it matters that it WAS censored. Of course, it's a personal blog so I guess his right to speech was not protected, it just proves what an asshole the moderator was. The moderator isn't following in the spirit of Berkeley and allowing this free speech to occur. But no one says he has to.

Okay, so he quoted three people who supported him on livejournal, and the only person who did not explicitly or implicitly support his mission to get rid of the asuc in their message was me. and i fully support his effort to eliminate the asuc, i just didn't write that in the bit that smasht quoted.
what does the ASUC do that couldn't be done better and more efficiently by some means other than by a student government? anyone?
