To all participants,
(and to John Walsh -- No, John, it is not all right and it is not 
innocent.  If you will not desist, perhaps other will be able.)

If every time someone chooses to throw a feint, people are so turned on 
by the obvious wrongs that they are distracted from the tasks at hand, 
and less able to pursue any course of action.  If instead of sounding 
the alarums, the guardians of our cause would search out the 
malefactors they suspect, and quash their activities, sparing the rest 
of us from fighting rearguard actions defending a non-existent retreat, 
we might might make our energies available to the vanguard of our party.

To people who have to pass through the morasses of recriminatory 
behaviors, inside the NC of the GPUS, and stupidly outright malfeasance 
outside the party, it becomes tiresome.  Big noise about opponents in 
the playground, should never be allowed to still the voices of 
reasonable response that make for effective struggle against 
oppression.  Again the pathetic response draws off energies that could 
be used for making something new, into a waste of angry recrimination 
against dead weight of a very traditional sucker punch.  Where did we 
all grow up to be so ignorant.
Peace,
Elie
