Still banned from Media Lens
You can't get a yes or no answer from these people. Meanwhile their sycophantic followers post more drivel to their message board with challenges kept to a minimum by blacklisting...

Thaks, Martin. The irony is that your message is far more abusive than +anything+ we've seen sent to IBC.
As for "gagging" you, I guess we could claim IBC are gagging everyone by not having a comparable message board. Anyone with a shred of honesty will tell you that we've published hundreds of critical message from people who disagree with us over IBC - Bob Shone, Josh D and others have posted endlessly. Which doesn't mean we will allow the board - primarily intended as a resource for media activists - to be swamped with angry exchanges provoked by messages of the kind you posted.
Best wishes

My original message wasn't abusive.
The response to it - accusing me of trolling - got an appropriate response and I even recall deleting the word "fucking" before "idiot" prior to posting.

You could claim it - but it'd make you look pretty stupid.

Your thinking is confused. The majority of the inappropriate noise has come from other people responding to my strong criticism of your position.
How many of them had their IPs blocked by you?
We are really looking at a case of you being fine at dishing out the criticism but not being able to take it yourselves.
I'll ask again: "Will you unblock my IP address?"
A simple "yes" or "no" will be sufficient.
I won't hold my breath...
