With individuals like Richard, who needs organisations? No, mirroring
the sectarianism of the organisation to which you belong makes you no
better Richard, a case in point being your support for my being kicked
off the (Australian student) national_broadleft list a scant 10 months
ago on the basis that you were "sick to death of the garbage they
[meaning: anarchists and autonomists] send clogging up my e-mail". You
even claimed that "I think we will have to scrap the NBL list and start
a new one unless there is some mechanism for kicking ["idiots" such as
myself] off".

That is some of the most hypocritical bullshit I have ever read.

-AT-ndy.

PS. The attempt to kick me off - a unilateral action undertaken by one
moderator without informing any other moderator / myself / the list
itself, and for which no apology, reason or justification has been
given, either then or now, and for which the person responsible has
still not accepted responsibility, either privately or publicly - was
unsuccessful, btw. Who knows, maybe Richard will have better luck on the
aut-op-sy list? ;)
