Re PBS
Hi SWcensorship


 * "why did you remove the list of corporate sponsors from the PBS page? I realize you're the editor of SourceWatch, and I wouldn't want to engage in an edit war with such a high-level gatekeeper. I just wonder why you don't think your readers ought to know which corporations fund PBS programming."


 * Thanks for pointing that out - it must have accidentally happened when I was adding references to the page and undating the page format/end sections. I don't know how that happened -- though it could have been caused by a mouse problem I'm having.


 * " also wonder why SourceWatch, which is supposedly based on democratic participation, engages in censoring user contributions that do not violate SW policies. Why do I keep getting banned just for asking questions or making comments on discussion pages? (Clearly, if I were a vandal or wanted to engage in an edit war, I could keep shifting IP addresses and generating new accounts and wreak havoc.) It's unfortunate that an organization dedicated to exposing PR spin and propaganda squelches dissent through heavy-handed editing, spin, and propaganda.


 * I'm not sure what you are referring to here. I'm just back from a week off -- what username were you using that has been blocked? with thanks --Bob Burton 20:55, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

--- I blocked the user Sequoiatreehugger and Schochin (who is the same user) and who is the same user as "SWcensorship" for deleting material and rolling back changes that reinstated material the user deleted, which is not "just for asking questions or making comments on discussion pages." This is not "censorship" or "heavy-handed editing, spin, and propaganda." SW can block a user who is deleting material. That is why you have been blocked by me, a block you have deliberately attempted to evade twice. You have repeatedly deleted material that discusses the sources of funding of an organization and attempted to remove other material. If you wish to be reinstated and not be blocked again, then you may contact me directly to discuss this decision: lisa AT prwatch.org
