Hey, I'm from FightDemBack, and I thought that I'd respond to a few of the comments here and clarify a few things:
Free speech. Seems like quite a few people really love this stuff. FDB quite likes free speech too, but we draw the line when racists are encouraging and enabling violent attacks on minorities and anti-racists. Just as you can't yell out FIRE in a crowded theatre, you shouldn't be able to yell out: Here's some people who deserve to be shot - and here is where they live and what they do and their phone number and details about their family members.
Some people would even contend that attempting to intimidate people into silence via threats of violence and posting hitlists is a form of censorship in itself.
It's not the racist material that's the issue, it's the names and addresses etc. I don't think anyone honestly believes that somebody is going to read a racist blog and decide to come after one of us - but if a racist psycho reads the blog, sees the addresses, sees the incitement to violence... well, they might just want to do something about it. Similar websites in Europe and America have led to violent assaults and murders in recent years, and similar pre-internet hitlists in Aus and NZ resulted in assaults, arsons etc. Luckily, there have so far only been ATTEMPTED murders associated with the websites referred to in this article.
Some here have also taken umbrage with the reference to terrorism. The webmasters of both of these sites have been members of extremist groups who have used terrorist methods to achieve their goals. Methods like blowing crap up and burning stuff down. And now they're trying to put terror into the hearts of those they target through this hitlist bollocks. I reckon we can get away with calling them terrorists for a while.
Any questions, am happy to elaborate on our position further.
