That's a not-so-subtle way of calling the prior-posted comments "stupid." That's quite a charge. What specifically do you find to be of sub-par intelligence? Are you really surprised that someone might take offense at this statement? What if I simply dismissed your statement as not very intelligent? Would you not then seek at least elaboration? I think you owe us that unless you just felt like spewing meaningless bile.

u wrote->"I wish people would refrain from reporting as fact what is an opinion based on limited information."

Again, this is related to my criticism above. It's a very un-subtle way of dismissing the comments made prior to yours. Are you including Jim's in this? How are we to know? How do you know how much information someone has when making a statement? How could you possibly know, given that one of your complaints is that the comments are pseudonymous? You might want to think this one through a bit more.

u wrote->"I wish all this energy were devoted to actual organizing."

Nice sentiment. But again, could you be more specific? Do you mean acting on what UFPJ wants us to do? Or do you have another strategy in mind? If so, what is it?

u wrote->"In particular I find the use of that picture of Leslie Cagan completely unnecessary and offensive."

I remember the picture. I didn't know it was of Leslie Cagan (though knew her name, I don't recall ever seeing a picture of her before), but I distinctly remember not being offended in any way by the picture. I am really very curious about this comment. What exactly did you find offensive about it?

u wrote->"And I will record my name here - I wish others had the conviction to do the same. "

You're assuming a lot with this statement. People may choose anonymity or pseudonymity for several reasons. Do you honestly believe that the only possible reason could be lack of conviction? That's not just (again) insulting, but indicative of a lack of imagination (on this issue) which you may want to concern yourself about. Please think a little more before you post comments here. Thanks.
