I'm tired of it being okay for older men to pick on me when I disagree. I know I'm supposed to defer, but my strategy is just to remember. No lawsuit here, but people DO ask me my opinions of other people in the permaculture community, especially as it pertains to social justice lens. It's called 'digging your own hole'.

Darrel Frey (I think?) said of my comment about white people being racist was something like "what a load of bullcrap, what idiot thinks up this stuff?" erked me.
Academics working on anti-racism have thought it up by the way, which I echo. I let it go. But Lawrence, that was okay? You probably have access to exact wording. Or it might have been you that said it.

And when Christopher said "self righteous self flagellating masturbation" that was too much for me. Crude, personal. But not for you Lawrence?

I see Chris has a private email to me that I've only glanced at. But in case you're thinking of dropping me from the list, how many insults are we supposed to accept before saying that we'll remember?? I am not going to recommend people travel to Belize to take his PDC if a student wants to learn from a strong social justice lens. Jason, is that a threat? I could have been more clear in exactly how the mayor lost his job, maybe you were thinking I was threatening a smear campaign. No, nor is it necessary. Lots of students want to learn from people who see permaculture through a strong social justice lens. Just as lots of people want to vote against a mayor who uses insults as a way of getting things done.

Now I have opinions of you two and will not hesitate to share this
interaction with whoever asks. I'm noting who and exactly what was
demonstrated as personal rudeness to me. The ex-mayor of my town can tell
you buckets about how you lose your job when you're rude to me


Threatening other list members will not be tolerated. Break _that_ rule and
offending member will wind up in the permanently banned filter list.

Highhanded rants like that give me th willies. I had thought Vlad's
freewheeling lawsuit-happy behavior would have been enough for anyone
as an example of how not to behave in a gathering place for Permaculturists.
