[Imc-web] the repeated request

[Mike Lehman]

Zach's right. She wants it to be a Feature. I already discussed with her 
that it was not, in my opinion, Feature material, but that someone else 
might do so. Y'all feel free to do what you think with it.

Features have been handled ina pretty informal matter. Basically, if 
someone thinks something being made into a Feature, they make it into 
one. I suppose, so far amyway, that speaks volumes about why it probably 
is not a Feature, but someone could change their mind or hasn't really 
looked at it yet.

I would be inclined to grant her wish just to buy peace, except for her 
past record of being abusive and demanding about editorial decisions 
toward other IMC volunteers, without showing any real inclination to 
become involved in the process enough to at least understand it. YMMV.

Again, I would be happy to move your article down to the Elsewhere newswire, if that's what you want."

>>>         So, I inform you again, as I did in my comment to answer your quoted above comment, that I would like very much to have my article 'POPULARIZATION AND REQUEST FOR COOPERATION' to be moved to the place of regular articles not local, which means to the left and to much broader column.
>>>          I am also very much surprised that all comments of Jack Ryan and/or NRA/FREEDOM (I am sure that this is the same person) are always hidden. It doesn't seem to be compatible with the First Amendment, don't you all think so? I would also appreciate if First Amendment is always respected in my cases either currently or in the future.
