Well said, Carpo. Tad worries me enough that I know to keep him at arms
length, but I'm not going to condemn him for all eternity. Shit, that
would be like some damn fundie Christian. Tad IS a smart guy. He has
done some positive things for the anarchist movement. He has done some
shitty things to anarchist, like in Portland, hence his reputation.
Since he already has a bad rep, let's leave it at that.

What bothers me more these days than some anarchist who is a petty thief
are those anarchists who feel a compulsive need to repudiate such
anarchists as not being anarchist, 'cause that might sully our
"repuation."

Who the fuck cares?

Aren't we humans like eveybody else?

I'm not interested in being some anarchist angel.

The other thing that bugs me are the anarchists out there who talk about
grandiose things, but won't do a fucking thing to make them happen.

Put up or shut up.
