This is in response to Judith's statement, 
 I myself _am_ committed to a kind of 
>feminism that I see as anarchic, if not anarchistic; in other words, I'm 
>not trying to situate myself within a particular historical trajectory 
>that would include, for example, Emma Goldman--but rather to suggest the

>Judith:

Isn't it possible to have order that is _neither_ anarchic _nor_ derived
>from transcendentals, but coherency that mirrors the complex ecology of the
universe? 

In other words, if I don't like what's being said on the list I don't demean
the other or/_as_ myself with 32 repetitions of a one line message or a
burst of gratuitous obscenity; I simply state, as forcefully as necessary,
my objections to what's being said and/or unsubscribe.

Since mass feminist psychoanalysis by any means is an unlikely prospect for
the near future, can't we have rules that encourage difference in a civil
tongue?

Best,
