Ken Farrell from mediahell.org posted a long list of examples of Monbiot criticising the mainstream media (including the Guardian). He was stopped from posting any further. Someone on the ML board queried the ML eds about it. It took the eds about 9 hours (as I recall - it was discussed here at the time) to reply with some BS about Farrell still being a registered user (they didn't say whether he could post or not). Turns out (from someone who knew how these boardhost boards work), that what ML had done was prevent him from posting by changing his password, while leaving him still a "registered user". But the game was up by the next morning and the ML eds (as if to reinforce their previous misleading version of events) said they were now deregistering him.
