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.
