Well that's actually quite strange that you should put the 'guilt' on this discussion going sour (or at least ridiculous) on the person asking questions. I suppose you mean this comment, which was the 4th comment after the Original Posting, the other previous 3 being rather pointless ('great action!' or 'ludicruous'). Well now it really makes me wonder, that the poor guy or girl who dares asking questions gets such rightous answers. What did people expect after the OP? Indymedia.nl has a rather broad base, everyone can read what is posted there, so such a short posting with so little details is really bound to trigger questions. If the OP are not interested in reactions or interaction with the rest of the world, then why would have they taken the trouble to put this posting on Indymedia in the first place? If the OP feel that asking questions on an open media such Indymedia.nl is 'senseless' (your words), and for some reason prefer people from all over the country to 'pay visit and talk face to face' (your words), then I expect they would write this in the original posting, and also explain why.
By lack of all this it now seems that what we deal with here is a whole different approach to 'independant media' than what these media are meant for. It rather seems that a bunch of people squat a house, and feel an urgent need to brag about it, or at least inform their friends and possee, and decide to drop some cryptic message on Indymedia for thjis purpose. They are not interested in reactions from sympathetic readers, nor in informing the Indymedia-public about their action, they only want to show off.
Now I'm sure there are people around who find it perfectly politically ok to misuse Indymedia-sites for bragging about some tough action, and I'm the last person who thinks they should not do it. I just wish they could bring up the simple common sense to make this clear in their first message, so the rest of us won't waste time and energy reading the postings and daring to ask questions.
Next time I'll be in garbage-belt Amsterdoom, I may come 'pay visit and talk face to face', and boy I really hope you have nice stories to tell...
Well that's actually quite
