This is an ongoing issue, maybe Mr. Pocock doesn't care about it, but Techrights has made use of his posts about the FSFE and other issues in the past and on a whim has vowed not to repost things from him anymore.
But I think this is just to appease the host of his website, which is what makes it worth mentioning. I first mentioned this in a private email on the 17th, I have new information from http://techrights.org/irc-archives/irc-log-200321.html It's not my wish to bring up an uncomfortable subject, but the subject was already brought up many times. I do wish to comment on the response, which I am doing here. Here are some pertinent lines of the log: schestowitz__ [09:00] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> I think it is probably for the best that we find new infrastructure arrangements for techrights. I really do not think it is good for anyone to feel like they are walking on eggshells over various things that have happened Mar 20 22:47 schestowitz__ [09:06] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> i mean, there's no requirement to move in any timeframe, i just think it would be best for our working relationship if your sites were not my responsibility anymore Mar 20 22:47 schestowitz__ [09:40] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> for example, your decision to reproduce articles from daniel pocock is a valid editorial decision, but not one i find personally compatible given that pocock is defending someone i know to be a rapist and also harassing friends of mine in debian through e-mail header spoofing and other behavior Mar 20 22:47 Personally, I think what's happening at Techrights is a farce. They're bowing to censors and will probably reverse the decision several times. But if they don't, you should know the following: Even the person asking for him to be censored admits Pocock has posted useful information about the FSFE. 2. Techrights and their readership directly benefited from that information. 3. Techrights does not technically HAVE TO censor in this way, but it's becoming a point of friction which their web host. They could move to another host and people have actually suggested they do so, but for now their decision seems to be to stay and censor: schestowitz__ [09:57] <schestowitz__> I was always Linux advocacy Mar 20 22:49 schestowitz__ [09:57] <schestowitz__> until they try to shut me up Mar 20 22:49 schestowitz__ [09:57] <schestowitz__> imposters using my name Mar 20 22:49 schestowitz__ [09:57] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> so, something i think that is important to mention Mar 20 22:49 schestowitz__ [09:57] <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> is daniel pocock is doing that to people Mar 20 22:49 schestowitz__ [09:58] <schestowitz__> I won't run his posts anymore Mar 20 22:49 schestowitz__ [09:58] <schestowitz__> he has his own blof Mar 20 22:49 schestowitz__ [09:58] <schestowitz__> *blog Mar 20 22:49 This log can be found in its full context at http://techrights.org/irc-archives/irc-log-200321.html
