That discussion appears to have been removed. An administrator may have an answer as to why?

At various points over the years we have unpublished old forum discussions, because of retrospective breaches of our comment guidelines.
Have now re-published that one.

That article has been taken off-line and we don't intend to put it back online, as it was conducted with a secret white supremacist (Schmidt), and has no factual value which would mitigate against that.

Obviously, this site should not promote racial supremacists from within the anarchist movement but would it be possible, somehow, to retain the Comments section attached to this interview? It seems counterproductive to censor the offending article whilst also censoring its detractors.

Well, at least there was one who saw through the trumped up nazi punk..

You are in a privileged position: being able to read nonsense.

Any chance of this "bourgeois motherfucker" seeing it?

Admin: comment lightly edited as we have re-published the discussion.

While some of the comments in this discussion are rude, and breach our current posting guidelines, this discussion contains important information from a person debunking misinformation about themselves, so we have re-published it.

Hi Fozzie: do you mean a 'submit content' on this current page? I don't see one.

Fozzie wrote: Hi Sharam - what happens if you press the "submit content" button at the top of the page?

If you mean the 'submit content' on my account, it goes to next page showing 3 options , I choose Article, but only have Save as: Draft option with Save & Preview buttons.
Basically, I don't have the permission to Publish it. It's been 3 weeks and haven't received any responses to my emails or comments except you.
Trying to follow the Content Guidelines will redirect to the page with red penguin saying No Access.

Fozzie wrote: Ah OK - I am able to publish your drafts, so perhaps that is a good way forward for now? I just did that for the Loren Goldner piece you submitted. I hope that is OK.

This is great! Thank you Fozzie.
I'll be uploading another one soon. I don't mind giving you the trouble to do the same (hope you are OK with this), but is there a fix for this so I don't bog you down with these comments?

Fozzie wrote: Thanks Shahram - yes that is all fine. I believe that someone with more admin powers than I would need to change your permissions. I am sure one of them will be along in due course, but please proceed in the meantime...

Alright, glad to have a plan for now! Thanks!

Yes, I second that (though I don't have any voting power)!
