From: Mr P Category: Art Date: 25 November 2006 Time: 01:37 PM Review: It is disturbing, annoying and unpleasant, as the site seems to agree. Unfortunately though, it isn't shocking. I'm afraid that whilst the attitude is repellent, it does in some sense enrich the enduring cultural value of a project such as this. One assumes that the author of the racist gambit is thrilled to be upsetting what he/she no doubt sees as a sickening meeting of self congratulatory, wet liberals. Is the trick therefore to politely condemn the attitude as foreign to your own values and -as you have- interrogate the notion of censorship within the dialogue you've set up? It seems to be a big question in many guises at the moment, and apologists on either side need only sharpen up old arguments. I once saw a sticker on the tube calling for agression towards immigrants. I think it was a young BNP initiative. I took down the number and mistakenly texted them, abusively. I couldn't help it. It was a major error and I regret it for a number of reasons, including the worn mortal one, but what I regret most is that I don't still have that sticker. I regret that I didn't peel it off and keep it in my box of things that have occured in this time. So the postings stay and receive little feedback. We live in a world where nuanced debate is rare, and thought that requires thought gets shitted up and lost because it takes too long to read. Much as I always hate seeing stupidity and evil made visible on the page/screen, it is also valuable and inevitable that worlds collide. New approaches to laziness, aggression and racism need to be developed, so the occassional twat posting what are widely held views in other spheres might be good practice for the coming years. Now who should I vote off that telly programme?
