[mobglob-discuss] another Radical idea !

[Bella]

Before you read the following, I'd like to say for the record that what
follows is MY personal opinion, that I am not an anti-semite or any remote
type of bigot/racist/fascist, and that the reason I wrote this is because
I respect Mac and Arthur Topham for various (and different) reasons. Mac,
I hope you won't go ballistic on my ass, and I would welcome a personal
and private dialogue between the two of us. I dont want to start another
listserve riot !  Here goes .......

Your one-man crusade to discredit Arthur got really tiresome about a month
ago, and your ongoing campaign to turn everyone against the Radical
stinks.  I don't appreciate anyone telling me what I should or should not
read. I have a brain in my head and I use it. The Radical has printed many
articles that are NOT questionable, by many viable authors.  Your various
attempts to discredit Arthur, and now to actually LAUGH at his misfortune
of potentially losing his livelihood, is just plain mean !  Do you even
know him on a personal level or are you only assuming to?  Why are you on
such a personal vendetta against him? Instead of trying to publicly
destroy the man, how about opening a fair dialogue with him? How about
reaching out and actually helping him, maybe even contribute to the
content of the paper once it comes back? There are not many alternative
papers out there and I think we should all be doing something to help save
this one so we all have a forum for our ideas and commentary.  Obviously
there is an issue with past articles, and I think we are all intellegent
enough to work through that.  It pisses me off when the "movement" is
trying so hard to create a climate of solidarity and then this shit
happens.  You seem to have alot of drive for activism, why not use it in a
positive way instead of slandering people and then giggling over someone's
hardship likes its some game?  Who are you going to turn to when your
hydro gets cut and there's no food on your plate? The 'movement'? Odds are
we will be there for you just like alot of people are there for Arthur.  I
don't think anyone will be kicking you when you're down !! Even
considering your holier-than-thou attitude and Arthur's previous editions
which contained questionable material, we are still brothers and sisters
fighting against the same shit!!

Try not to write people off so easily.
