Please distribute the following message as you seem appropriate.

A group of neo-nazis are trying to form a newsgroup on Usenet
called rec.music.white-power, so that they can get their message of
hate out to young people using the Internet. Newsgroups are public
discussion areas on the Internet and their formation requires enough
support from the Internet community. >EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU HAS
ONE VOTE when it comes to creating a new Usenet group. I hope you will
vote NO and thereby tell these Nazis you don't want their stuff on the
net. Below is the procedure, please repos my plea and get the NO vote
out. This is my personal opinion. If you want to see the official
call for votes, you can. Do _not_ vote twice - that would constitute
voting fraud.

HOW TO VOTE:

Send E-MAIL (posts to a newsgroup are invalid) to:

music...@sub-rosa.com

This is an impartial, third-party vote taker.

Do not REPLY to THIS message, if you are trying to vote. Please do
not assume that just replying to this message will work. Check the
address before you mail your vote. Your mail message should contain
only one statement:

I vote NO on rec.music.white-power

Vote counting is automated. Failure to follow these directions may
mean that your vote does not get counted. If you do not receive an
acknowledgment of your vote within three days contact the votetaker
about the problem. It's your responsibility to make sure your vote is
registered correctly.

Here's what Canada's George Burdi, of the neo-Nazi Heritage Front, had
to say about this vote, on February 21, on his RESISTANCE mailing
list:

"There is a call for votes coming on rec.music.white-power in the next
week or so, and you will be notified in a special issue of RREN exactly
what to do. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER. Let me be
perfectly blunt and state that we have more than enough "net-nazis" to
win this thing hands-down. But every one of you must vote YES! And
just voting yes means nothing unless you do it properly. So you have
been forewarned. The instructions are coming to your email box soon,
and they are not complicated. Just follow them as told, and we will
have a WP music newsgroup finally!"

If Mr. Burdi's confidence disturbs you, please give this letter
the_widest_ possible distribution, and help us deliver the largest NO
vote in the history of UseNet.

PLEASE VOTE 'NO' AS DIRECTED ABOVE AND DO IT A.S.A.P

THANKS
Paul

EEEE-Ghads! When will this die? The voting period expired months ago,
and this letter is still being circulated. Look it up if you want to
nkow who won, but I'll tell you this.... the tempest was indeed teapot
contained.

I am most likely not going to vote.
Saying that, is it not my right (based on the US Constitution. And
yes, I know that not eveyone on these groups is American or agrees with
the Constitution) to vote, and to express my opinion, and to
participate in majority rule. Now, these often offer conflicts, but I
see no more reason to call this mans effort "censorship" than to call
the efforts of his detractors be the same name. Does he also not have
the right to express his message, draw followers to his camp, and ask
them to do what he wills? Similar to the efforts of a neo-Nazi group.
So, I can only say that, if you or I disapprove of what he says, then I
agree with his right to say it.

By the same reasoning, is it not proper for this man to ask for us to
vote against, and for you to ignore him if you don't like his message?

This message, if it weren't for the fact that the vote closed two
months ago, would be pitiful.

I voted (in time, thanks) against the group. Not because the
people who were proposing it are violent and unpleasant
people trying to promote a violent and disgusting cause
(though they are). That's not a good reason; I voted against
it because I didn't believe they were going to discuss
music on it. There has been (do a search) a total of three
posts since AltaVista was set up on Skrewdriver, the best
known "White Power" group. I think there's one more archived
on DejaNews, which is a few months older.

So if no-one is discussing "White Power" music, what are they going
to discuss on rec.music.white-power...well, it's obvious really:
they're going to discuss the politics behind it.

Personally, I believe in freedom of speech, but this group
is guaranteed to turn into a massive flamewar, unless there's
a large number of people discussing the music - and even then,
a moderator to keep all the flamage out would be a seriously
good idea.

If I were running a newsserver at a small music college,
then I would certainly take all the rec.music groups, and
likely none of the political groups, because they are huge
and I wouldn't have space for them. If a huge political
group gets shoved into rec.music, then there's total chaos.
After all groups have names so people know what the
contents are, otherwise they'd be simply group 1, group 2, ...,
group 30,000.

If the Nazis want a group for discussing racist politics,
then they can have one....how about talk.politics.racist?
But they insisted on rec.music.white-power....seems like a
deliberate effort to try to get themselves censored to me.

If fans of bands like Skrewdriver want to discuss those bands
on the internet, and they can't do so in a general music
group, because they get flamed too much (fair enough!),
then I'd say that they'll get flamed on their own group,
so they'd be best off moderated. But did they
consider a moderator....no, of course they didn't.

Agreed. I see some of the same issues you raise in the 'tolerance' debate -
if you are truly tolerant, you must also be tolerant of the intolerant.
The difference I see is that in his case, he wishes to keep one group from
expressing their ideas; he does not wish to debate them, challenge them or
repudiate them - he wishes to eliminate their expression. Noone in this
group is saying that to him (such as "Use your sysadmin powers to delete his
posting; don't propagate his request...") - they are merely challenging the
ideas he has presented and expressed reluctance to follow them (and gave the
reason for that). Equivalently, the origianl poster could join the nazi
group and challenge them and their ideas. Silencing them is censorship.

It is "proper" in the sense that he has the "right" to ask. The idea he
proposes is not proper.

Well if I am going to flame you it would be about not editing

to ban freespeach didn't either, but by his post I took him for a
nutcase anyway. But the only Nazis in c.s.i.p.g.strategic are the ones
under my command and they have no time to do any posting. ;)

To vote or not to vote? Nazism as well as communism or any other hate or
predjudiced based philosophy is a an evil and corrupt philosophy.

However, if we vote to limit their access, somebody may vote to limit
OURs. And if the vote flies and they are banned, somebody can use that as
a precident to limit other, non-neo nazi groups simply because they
disagree with them.

One thing about the internet, if we don't like their tripe, nobody is
twisting our arm to read their newsgroup.

Hey! You're repressing me! : ) Do they even have a Farrakhan
newsgroup? Anyway, Farrakhan is a nutcase. He speaks for a very small
minority of a minority. : ) White supremacists and neo-nazi's are
nutcases and also represent a small percentage of Americans. I doubt
the message sent by either group is going to sweep across America,
poisoning the minds of our youth. IMHO, most of the members of groups
like these seem to be a little screwed up to begin with.

I saw posts similar to this a year ago. Stop calling attention to hate groups,
it does nothing but alert potential followers, and wastes the bandwidth for

And as witnessed by Alt.religion.scientology, perhaps letting them
create groups is _good_. Subverting this kind of thing romanticizes
it- get them out in the open, and the smell of their bullshit will be
exposed to more people. The scientology newsgroup is probably one of
the worst things that could have happened to that criminal cult.

Create the group. And of course, we have the right to post in there

I don't mean this particularly nastily or anything but have people
noticed that only the Americans use their constitution to justify things
on an INTERNATIONAL newsgroup.

I mean you don't get French, or Malaysian people producing an argument

Well, *Thats* taking it a tad too far isn't it? Two wrongs
do not make a right. I will vote yes, simply because they have

If the organization that wants this newsgroup is in the US, then
it falls under the juristiction of our Constitution.

Why should we feel sorry, apologetic or repress ourselves just
because we can speak out where, sadly, others cannot?

I wasn't suggesting that you feel "apologetic" or anything about your
constitution.

I was trying to make point that to a European or other non American
supporting your argumentsby saying that it is in agreement with the
principles of your constitution is not very usefull.

I just felt it showed somthing about American attiutes that this was
done. It wasn't a criticism as such although it does show either pride
or naiviety (or both) that some Americans think their constitution is
held in such high regard outside of their country.

This is paraphrased from the post I had just made....

The use of the Constitution by Amercans is justifiable and has helped
the world more often thanb naught. Or what, have you never read a
history book?
You use France as an example? I'll tell you why Frenchman have no
business bitching!
First the ideals of the Constitution of the US provided the platform for
the French Revolution to overthrow the Monarchy.
Second, and last, All of the European Community should be overjoyed at
the mention of the Constitution of the US. Had there never been a
constitution of the US, well, There wouldn't be a France, England,
Italy, Austria, etc today or have we forgotten who saved whose ass in
WWI, and WWII. Well, so as not to be misunderstood, the Americans saved
everybodies ass in Europe.

Well, seeing as how parts of the european community can't even have a
little gore in there game I can see that they are already being censored
, and if I remember the whole telecommunications decency act was signed
right around the time a portion of the European Community was trying to
ban many of our on-line services. and IMHO most of the world doesn't
have the experience with freedom in general, remember that if it weren't
for the American Constitution the Revolutions in France etc, would never
have occured, and instead of being the Socialist they are today they'd
still be like the British with a King or a Queen in charge... oooh
that's a winner. Also, if it hadn't been for our constitution and the
ideals presented there-in the whole of the European Community would have
been sucked in under the Third-Reich. Oh, but we forget about stuff
like that don't we? Rather than complaining about the US Citizens using
the Constitution you should be thanking us for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i'm sick of people like you.

being patriotic is one thing.
being ethnocentric is another.
but you're just a dumb ass.

but i think you should get out of the country, state, or town that you
live in and look around. maybe you'll learn something.

I understand. Weather or not it is in agreement with our
constitution should never be an issue unless its happening
here.

Ethnocentric? Ummm. Pardon me, but the last time I checked my

is guilty of nothing more than telling the truth.

Compared to what? What people of Canada go through? Britian? France?
Sweden? I'm sure most countries look good compared to Iraq's
standardard of living, but I think most American pride is based on
ignorance.

Woah,

America entered WW2 because Japan attacked Pearl Harbour. Your
constitution was the same before and after Pearl Harbour so i fail to
see the connection between your constitution and you entry to the war.
If your constitution was the reason you entered the war why didn't you
enter it in 1939 (instead of leving poor little Britian to have the shit
kicked out of it).

And yes I have read History books... I am studying History at the
moment.

I am not downplaying america's part in WW2 (I freely admit the Americans
and the Russians were the major reasons germany lost rather than the UK)
I just don't see the relevance. This returns to my original point that
Americans use their constitution to justify what seems very odd points
to non American eyes.

I know little about the French revolution but the develpement of
Britains democracy had little to do with America. Rather it was a
gradual decline in the powers of the kinf with Democracy slowly
developing as first the middle classes and the Working classes gained
the right to vote.

Someone in another post said somthing like without the American
constitution most of the European countries would be monarchies. Many of
the ARE monmarchies (of the top of my head Britain, Spain and a number
of the scandanavian countries). They are also democracies because the
Monarch has no real power.

Again I may just being an ignorant Brit (here in the UK we don't even
have a written constitution) but I fail to see the relevance of your
constitution to many of these issues).

Actually a more realistic view would be that the Soviet union saved "everyone in europe" (keeping a chunk for
a while afterwards), and for info - the USA hasn't been punctual for a world war yet (though for a while it did
look like ron reagun would get them there at the kick off for a change).

Excuse me? I've seen some terrible things in european games. It's the
united states where things like that seem to be censored most. I could be

How do you know? Did you see an alternate timeline where neither
occured? I don't know much about the era, but international news couldn't have
been very up to speed. Still. there's exaggerated word-of-mouth from the
sailors to deal with. That might have spurred something, but articles in a
newspaper make not a revolution.

> still be like the British with a King or a Queen in charge... oooh

Nations seem to be shying away from monarchy-style governments. The
English did it at some point. I don't know when that happened,
either(-smile-), but there's no evidence to support the French sticking with a
monarchy if it wasn't for the united states(We americans all speak in chords,
you know. We have glowing auras and we seem to glitter if you look at us just
right...at least those of us who live on Three Mile Island.).

> ideals presented there-in the whole of the European Community would have

I don't follow. The US was the deciding factor in the world wars. If
it wasn't for the west, I'm pretty sure Europe would have fallen under
German/Axis control(Of course, the west would have been next to fall. That's
why it's a -world- war. The globe was a potential battleground and it really
didn't matter where or how much of it we fought on.) if the united states
hadn't stepped in. The US took a 'wait and see' attitude when it comes down to
it. We didn't want to get caught up in it unless we absolutly had to.

> like that don't we? Rather than complaining about the US Citizens using
> the Constitution you should be thanking us for it!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At the time, the US constitution was quite a contribution to world
governmental ideology, but it wasn't revolutionary. The ideas were already
written about. The authors of the US constitution simply incorporated what
they had read elsewhere, so please don't exhault it as if it were a grand
miracle document. It wasn't. :) It's also no longer followed by the United
States government. You, as an american, should be well aware of this.
Honestly, I want to apologise. The united states is a good nation and
we've made our fair share of contributions to the world. Some of us have
trouble seeing the world clearly, though. I know I do. :) Take care.

The U.S. entered the War in Europe to save its own financial ass!
Great Britian owed the U.S. billions in loans and for military
hardware which the U.S. was capitalizing on very nicely.
If Great Britian had lost the War, the U.S. would have lost the money.
The bottom line is: It was profit from the War that shifted World
power from Great Britian to the U.S.

Perhaps this thread should be moved to an empire.war.games group.

It's nice to see a sensible response to this tripe coming from a "fellow American", and an Amiga user at that.
We "foreigners" don't seem to be taken seriously when we make comments like this. I'm sure that only a small
percentage of US citizens actually carry all that emotional baggage around with views like "we won the wars"
and "Europe owes everything to us" and "we invented democracy". The US was a late entrant to both world wars
and did so on the basis of self interest - hardly the knight in shining armour. The Russians did as much to
stop the Germans in WW2 as the US (witness the "race" for Berlin). Having said that the US has certainly played
a prominent role in international politics in the 20th century, mostly for the good.

Given that North America was settled (by the white man) around the time when Europe was emerging from
Feudalism, you would hope that they wouldn't encumber themselves with a system of government which was going
out of fashion in Europe. With the industrial revolution and the rise of the middle class, Europe was headed
down the path away from monarchies in any case. This is not to say that the US constitution is not a worthy and
valuable document, just that it didn't really shine a light on the rest of the western world. I'm glad that the
US has the constitution it does, I'd just be happier if I didn't see some rabid, poorly educated fool trying to
shove it down my throat so often. I'd also be much happier if the same fools weren't so damn patronising about
their debatable superiority.

In all this is a suprising thread for a "games" newsgroup though, isn't it? (Apologies to readers in
comp.sys.ibm.pc.soundcard.music to whom it is just as irrelevant)

Climbing down from my soapbox (hopefully to make a harder target for those flames),
Chris

Ignorance to what? You named 4 nations whos people pretty much

Hmmm ? It seems to me that the Americans are much more eager to censor sex
than violence in computer games, movies, etc. while the Europeans are a little
oversensitive about violence.

The remedy to hateful speech is more speech. Censoring the purveyor of
offensive ideas will only drive the believers underground. The myth of
absolute white superiority will fall of its own weight and should not be
given creedence by being labeled as a dangerous idea and worthy of
censorship. In making this call for censorship, folks have indulged in
a form of fascism themselves.

My two cents.

Wrong! Wrong! This is not a call for censorship, since censorship
can only be accomplished by a goverment, that is, by a legal
procedure.

This is a call for censuring (check my spelling), that is, a group
decides FOR ITSELF what is apprpriate. Here the only question is
'what is a group', but the reasonable practices of Usenet state that
'the group' is everyone who uses Usenet.

I have every right to say "I do not wish this group to exist" ... they
can find any number of other methods to communicate their message,
which I personally find objectionable.

They do seem oversensitive, but then again they don't allow violence on

And yet even though we have censorship of violence, 20,000
people are shot to death a year in this fucked up country. I don't
beleive this figure includes everyone knifed or beaten to death
either. There's one thing you can say 'bout the USA: "fastest growing

You are correct on the above. Our forefathers "borrowed" the constitution.
In fact, they got it directly from the "Five Nations" coalition of Native
Americans (Algonquin, I think). At least, that was one of the tribes.
You see from history how wonderfully we applied it's principles to them.

As for the white separatist/supremacist/militia/whatever who started this
thread; I have a comment for him and all his counterparts of all races
in my country. It's an old comment used by the ultraconservatives in the
1960's. America, love it or leave it. You used it often enough on us
liberals back then; now the shoe is on the other foot. Follow your own
advice. I don't care to live in a Bosnian society.

Now, back to games.

Hmm, a little simplistic view of history, maybe?
I don't think the people of France or the USA are any freer than any of their
neighbours living in modern monarchies. In Europe, monarchies usually have nothing
to do with government, and are mostly quite popular. In most cases, monarchs
are respected more than politicians. Of course, this wasn't always so...

Unfortunately we live in a world of Realpolitik where morality largely takes a back
seat to expediency. in this sense, I don't see that the USA's constitution should be
held up any higher than constitutions (written or not) of, for example, many
European countries.

As well as 'saving our asses', the USA in recent history has also been responsible
for actions such as supporting some very oppressive regimes in Latin America,
putting into power (and then regretting it) the delightful Muammar Ghaddafi,
supplying arms to Indonesia for their invasion and continuing brutal occupation
of East Timor, to name but a few.

Don't get me wrong, I'm certainly not defending many of my country's (UK)
international actions (and inactions) as being particularly better - we also sell
arms to Indonesia (Hawk jets are reported to be used for bombing villages in
East Timor), our 'Arms to Iraq' scandal ranked similarly to the 'Iran/Contra' affair,
and our Bosnia policy has been nothing to be proud of (Bosnia, we won't let you
defend yourself, and we wont defend you either). How 'safe' is Srebrenica now?

The world today, as always, has been governed by national self-interests and doing
what you can get away with. The addition of democracy as a factor has modified
how this works, but not changed the fundamentals. Governments very rarely do
anything for altruistic reasons - democracies have to pander to public opinion
which is often misguided and can be manipulated.

Who was it that said -
"You can fool all of the people some of the time and some of the people all of the
time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time" ?

On another 'constitution' note, I'm sure glad my country doesn't have gun ownership
laws like the one in the USA constitution. Legitimate sport shooters should have
no fear of extensive regulation designed to keep guns out of illegitimate hands.

Finally, in terms of what this thread is about, is censorship the answer to
prejudice and bigotry? I'm not sure that it is.

In followup: I heard that the final vote count was

Pro Newsgroup: ~600

Anti Newsgroup: ~34,000

The result was a evidently a record turnout for such a contest. OK,
well I guess we know how **POPULAR** white supremacy hate mongers are.
They are not popular!! So then why do we need to worry about these
unpopular ideas enough to be afraid of them. The espoused views of such
groups are generally irrational. Irrational people will believe
irrational things sometimes. However, I for one believe that we

the white supremacy message is dangerous to **rational** people. In
fact, rational people will poke those ideas full of holes. Irrational
people on the other hand will not be swayed by reason.

So, human beings are generally rational, eh? I guess that explains why
Hitler was appointed Chancellor and the Nazi party got 44% of the vote on
March 5, 1933, the day of the last democratic elections in Germany until
after the war. I'm not necessarily arguing for censorship, but one has
only to look at history to see that human beings are often times anything
but rational, and often make horrendous, tragic decisions that, when we
look back, make us ask "Why?"

I bet it sure is easy sitting in your barco-lounger looking back at
50 years worth of history and casting judgement on an entire nation.
When the Nazi party won the elections they were just as good a choice of a
party as any. What they stood for and the hope they gave the German people
led to their victory. Based on the information at that time it was the
"rational" thing to do. If Hitler and his gang had made a few changes in
their plans they could have changed the outcome of the war and we might
still be hearing about the Nazis. Just think, if Hitler had won the war
in Europe and provided Germany with more "living space" (leibenstrauss?)
modern day Germans would be saying "Gosh, that was quite a rational decision
that we voted for the Nazis." Whether humans are rational or not depends
on whether you agree with them or not. It is a purely relative term.
Hitler felt his 'Final Solution' was rational, the allies didn't agree.
The allies won the war, so they get to write the history books and determine
who was the rational one.

Easy pal. What do you think affirmative action is? It's fighting
racism with racism where the racism initially being fought doesn't
even exist half the time. I'd call that fighting nothing with
stupidity. Seems a lot worse to me than fighting stupidity
with stupidity. At least there's a real opponent in the latter.

Gosh, I suppose the slaughter of 6 million Jews was a rational thing to
do too eh? Idiot!

The allies do not get to write the history books simply because they
won the war. Everyone knows what happened and how it happened. How
people like you want to perceive it is your own problem.

Affirmative action is bullshit. I don't get any special
treatment in: Mexico, Spain, Brazil etc., yet some SOB who comes
to the good ole' F'ed up USA gets the red-carpet treatment? Fuck
that noise! A DA (district attorney) showed up on Donahue recently
advocating the fact that race SHOULD be an issue in dispensing
justice, depending on race he advocated lighter sentences. You
wouldn't beleive the SHIT minorities get at my university because
of the simple fact they are a "minority". Gee, if we were to take
our population stats for all of North and South AMerica would
hispanics STILL be a minority? Anyone w/a hispanic surname qualifies
for affirmative action. The whole F'ing affirmative action policy is
complete fucking bullshit. All those white, liberal sellout apologists
(I'm so sorry I'm white, am I oppressing you?) can get FUCKED!:

Good God where do you people get this twaddle from? The ideas in the
US Constitution are not new- how many ideas are- but they certainly are
not borrwoed from the Iroquois (this is the federated tribe of the
northeast)- the fact that you gave the Algonquin shows me you have not
read a work on this subject but are instead just repeating something you
have heard from others. The ideas are pure European enlightenment- i.e.
Voltaire, Rousseau, and most imp. Locke and Montesquieu- and put into
practical effect. The Founding Fathers were not out reading Iroquois government
documents, they couldn't. If you want to pursue this silly line of
thought go to alt.history.revsionism or else give me a cite from a
scholar detailing how this transmission of ideas occurred and how the
impact of the Iroquois is able to outweigh the intellectual impact of a
major intellectual movement in Europe that most of the founding fathers
were deeply familar with.>

You fool. The above post in no way suggests that the Holocaust was
rational, it merely observes that had the Nazis won the war, the German
people, ecstatic in the numerous benefits they would have gained through
the subjugation of Europe (living room, raw materials, Alsace-Lorraine,
the British colonial empire, the end of the Russian threat, the fall of
communism, the glory, the humilation of the French, etc . . .) would have
looked back at the election of Hitler as one of the best, most 'rational'
things that could have happened. Does this make the Holocaust rational,
certainly not, but I guarantee you there are many people out there who
would easily look the other way as their neighbor was dragged off into
oblivion if they got to take his possessions.

Ha! The winners always write the history books. Very few people outside of
Germany knew about the extermination camps until after the war. Everyone
knew that Hitler was evil, noone suspected how evil. If Hitler had won the
war, odds aren't bad the Holocaust would be nothing but a rumour, The
winners always write the history books. You know why everyone knows what
happened and how it happened? the Allies won the war.
