Well, I hope you were just joshing.  I had not previously heard of this
part of Lucy Parson's life, but I think it's just awful.  However, I
reject the identification of all syndicalists with this action.  You
could just as easily say all anarchists are fascistic fools because of
the words and actions of Kaiser Bill. Or all anarchists are sexually
represses because Kropotkin never got any.   It's simply an unwarranted
generalization.
