On Friday, I wrongly reported that the OWS General Assembly had rejected the draft and disavowed the working group. In fact, the GA hasn't even discussed the issue. According to people at last night's meeting, whoever controls the website issued the statement of disavowal and deleted the accounts of some participants, making it impossible for them to participate in online discussions of the issue. The "whoever" is accurate: no one seems to know the identity of the website's controllers, who nonetheless purport to speak for the organization. With such a freewheeling organization, if that's the right word, lines of responsibility and accountability are very murky.

Thanks for posting this. It is very helpful.
I was speculating about the who. While it could be anybody, it seems to fit a liberatarian personality disorder. Probably an IT person of some sort. The website is difficult to use and except for some summary GA minutes and live feed, it doesn't communicate much.
So I depend on LBO or PEN-L.
Reading your blog, two comments helped fill-in blanks.
