A Queer Time in a small Capital Region town

This is clearly part of the same pinko conspiracy as climate change. The pinkos are no longer under the bed they’re up in the trees.

@Soundbloke Re Wikipedia ‘vandalism’ lockdown:
Its an unattributed non-neutral point of view change being made by an anonymous ip address.
Its being policed because said Anon isn’t actually providing any attributions to back up the claim, and is yet prove that it is worthy of the merit implied by putting it on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia is not the Braidwood Tourist Information Office, and should not be used that way.
PS: I am not a wikipedian, but their policies are really easy to find.

(Whoever is doing the editing, the quick and easy way would be to find some way to make the idea newsworthy, then cite that news reportage as your source)

We thought we’d better get an official line, so today we called the tourist information office in Braidwood. As far as they could tell us Q.U.I.L.T is going ahead as scheduled, however they were unsure whether or not it has been “officially sanctioned!”

Apparently over the last few days they have recieved more calls about the Q.U.I.L.T event than they have the Quilt Event. Apparently Braidwood’s page on Wikipedia has been officially locked due to “vandelism!” It’s interesting to note, that as far as I have been able to establish, this is a genuine event, staged by a dedicated group! This shows that “open access media” such as wikipedia, is esentially policed by myopic conservatives!

It appears that the objective of Q.U.I.L.T organisers, is to see an eclectic band of fetishists and alternative dressers rubbing shoulders with those who enjoy a spot of quilting. Could cottaging be evolving into a cottage industry? The Original Quilt Event is apparently known for it’s quite spectacular “Hanging of the Quilts.” One hopes that the Auto-erotic types at the Q.U.I.L.T Event don’t get involved with that. Look what happened to Michael Hutchence and David Carradine – Nasty!

I always thought the Quilt Event was a quilt event. I must admit turning it into a Q.U.I.L.T. event is quite clever and amusing.

LOL this is so funny.

Bugger. It sounded like a bit of fun.

Should I take the family there anyway? Anyone else interested?

The group of people that informed us about the “QUILT” event were drinking at the Braidwood pub following a planning meeting for the even. They were all carrying related paperwork and seemed fairly genuine and enthusiastic about the event! They were a very mixed fun bunch – I think it’ll be a great underground, fringe event approached with humour – much like the early Sydney Mardi Gras 78 79 etc.

but now we’ve mentioned it… remember, mobile phones were invented ’cause dick tracy had one, after all.

Wikipedia suffered an edit yesterday to include it, claiming it was a British newspaper who reported it, based on something from the Braidwood Times.
It has since been reported half a dozen times and subsequently removed.

This is the original inclusion change
This is the most recent removal
The Braidwood Times itself has no such article, according to their website.
And according to Google, Queers in Little Towns does not exist anywhere as a combined phrase, other than within this RiotACT article.

Hey Mickle – apparently it runs as a fringe event. Apparently everyone “Camps” out in the park!

Though I can invisage blokes in leather pants with quilted chaps! Mental image go away!
