permaculture

[lponeill@att.net]

I must say that I was surprised to see this response to Mikael's posting of 
links to her writings repeated. Was this necessary? I found its tone to be 
intolerant and condescending.

 In particular this part: 
"Your suggestion that Permaculture zone zero is defined by eco-feminist pagan 
spirituality is an attempt to:

a) confuse people about what Permaculture design is and is not
b) convert members of this list to eco-feminist pagan spirituality religion" 

Whatever your views are, I am willing to consider them, including religious 
ones that pertain to permaculture. However, what I don't need is for you or 
anyone else to protect me from ideas. I am speaking for myself, but I believe 
that most of the people on this list are intelligent and can choose for 
themselves what they would like to read and what they would not. 

By the way, I glanced through these writings, but chose not to read them in 
depth. If they offended you, you have the right to voice your opinion, but 
you don't have the right to censor them for others. Comment on them, but 
don't try to repress them. If you don't like it, don't read it. If it bothers 
you, delete it.
