My mind and heart have been plenty open, but thanks for the concern. I have
already made my case about you, Arthur Topham, etc.

I forward articles so that people know that this isn't an isolated incident,
that this is an issue all over the place and so that people will act responsibly
so far as dealing with the slow infiltration of racists. It isn't anything other
than a conscious strategy, and if you are really concerned you'd better not tell
those who seek to deal with this problem to "calm down" or "breathe deeply".

In other words, it's time you took on the actual issues and not worry about my
mental state, my emotions or anything else so far as this is concerned (not that
I don't want my brothers and sisters to inquire about my heart and health!). Try
dealing with either the issues or the delete button. Personalising this is not
the point. Here's another idea: why don't you have a long look at far right
organisations and their stategies for integrating themselves into our movement.

By the way, one question: You said you'd reconsider your support for the Radical
paper once it was demonstrated that racist articles had appeared. I reprinted
the Paul Fromm racist article in full. Let me guess, you want more now, right?
That was "taken out of context" right? It was an "understandable oversight",
right? Or am I totally out of line, and you have since decided to no longer
associate yourself with the paper because of your statement to as much, and you
only hold misgivings against me for... what exactly?

Anyhow, to go down that route would be to personalise the argument, which is
what I would like to avoid. Let us remain on topic: Where does a newspaper that
carries Paul Fromm, David Icke and Gordon Watson belong? Under our arms being
distributed, or under the lids of garbage cans? That's the question, always was,
and will remain so.

  "Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation,
understand that fascism is already here, that people are already dying
who could be saved, that generations more will live poor butchered half-lives
if you fail to act." -George Jackson (Black liberation fighter)
