Subject: RE: Folk Against Fascism launch at Sidmouth
Ralphie. FAF website forum. I agree with your priorities. However, with the best will in the world, Mudcat isn't best placed to moderate the fascist hordes, or control the in-fighting that keeps breaking out among our own side, and is most annoying and counterproductive.

Two possibilities spring to my mind.

1. Could the FAF organisers get someone to moderate a forum for them?

2. If that's not feasible, I wonder if a FAF Yahoo Group, independent of the main organisation but closely reflecting its aims and policies might be a goer? The sort of thing I have in mind is analogous to Tradsong Forum, where one person maintains the TSF website, and someone else runs the Yahoo discussion group. If you've never tried one, Yahoo groups are easily monitored. Plus, the way BNP threads keep breaking out all over Mudcat is starting to worry even me.

Let's see what comes out the FAF site first anyway.
