“The collective that maintains the CIMC website can hide posts if the material is far outside of, or in conflict with, the principles of the project and this website. Examples of material that may be hidden include newswire posts that are racist, sexist, homophobic, or that clearly fly in the face of our mission to serve as a space for the exchange of news, dialogue, and opinion that advances economic and social justice.

However, when we find postings which violate our editorial policy they are not erased; they’re merely moved into the “hidden articles” section of our Web site. Those articles can be viewed by selecting the “hidden articles” link on the lower right of our home page. The articles, which Mr. Fleming says we are “deleting,” can be found there.
