Did JPO's thread about UW students protesting concealed carry on campus get deleted? I thought we determined that UW was considered local due to its affect on the great Olympia community? Norm

Submitted by Merwyn Haskett on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 7:29am.She also had a Mothers Day Event deleted for being "non-news" and a "cut 'n' paste" - Indymedia must be an exception I guess.
I really disagree with this policy of deleting posts
Submitted by Mike on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 7:33am.We have the ongoing argument about what is hyperlocal and then we have the question about what disappeared.
I encourage the decision makers here to break the blog into sections. The front page can be the metro section. I support creation of a gun section, an arts section, a world section, lifestyle, science and technology, and a hall of shame section for entries that the docents think are really poor examples of the blogging life.
Very disappointing
Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 8:12am.Before we jump to conclusions
Submitted by Norm on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 10:39am.we should ask JPO, it may have been self-deleted or whatever. This does kind of stink though.
Not it.
Submitted by Rob Richards on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 1:24pm.PMing lessens trasparency
Submitted by Laurian on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 3:17pm.and asking a question is not starting a witch hunt.
How about posting the reason or reasons a post gets taken down w/out accepting comments. Let people debate rather than speculate.
My intent was not a witch hunt, I hope it doesn't end as one.
Submitted by Norm on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 3:23pm.Well,
Submitted by Rob Richards on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 3:27pm.Again, not my intent.
Submitted by Norm on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 5:11pm.Well....let's see....
Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 7:13pm.I started a blog about the deleted post and my blog was deleted. No one talked to me.
There's lots of circumstantial things happening.
Twilight Zone, indeed
Maybe
Submitted by security_six on Sat, 04/26/2008 - 9:00pm.If the docents would answer a simple question as opposed to complaining about someone asking the question... seems like someone rather than saying "yes it was deleted by docent action" or "JPO deleted it" or "space aliens deleted it" or whatever, they made this into a bigger issue than it should have been.
I'm a bitter, clinging American.Weird
Submitted by Norm on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 4:06pm.Maybe she "pulled a Merwyn"
Submitted by Guglielmo on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 8:02pm.That thought had crossed my mind
Submitted by Norm on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 10:36pm.She's been known to do so.
Submitted by The Original Yoda on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 10:42pm.Yep...
Submitted by Guglielmo on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 10:47pm.Oh Man - Am I in the
Submitted by Merwyn Haskett on Mon, 04/28/2008 - 8:03am.I think from now on instead of analysts looking over a sheet of statistics, they should check their gugs.

Submitted by Anonymously Larry on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 7:49pm.I'm guessing that more than just Onry know what has happened. There is a verbal game of cat and mouse going on here.
I have a way of personally contacting her, but it's not going to change the events of the past week.
Let's let it play out a bit longer
Submitted by Norm on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 10:37pm.I had nothing to do with it
Submitted by Rob Richards on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 8:46pm.Don't know why anyone would think you did
Submitted by Guglielmo on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 10:34pm.I certainly wouldn't accuse you Rob.
Submitted by Norm on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 10:38pm."Shrugs shoulders and wonders about Norm"
Submitted by security_six on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 10:54pm.

Submitted by security_six on Sun, 04/27/2008 - 11:17pm.Ughh, I've spent too much time in a MUD tonight as it is without seeing that here :-)
