Here are the words you used: "1) unfair 2) paranoid 3) unnecessary
fear-mongering 4) inaccurate"
While it can perhaps be argued that "unfair" and "inaccurate" are pretty
civilized, since when is calling a colleague "paranoid" not an ad hominem
attack?
This kind of name-calling of a permaculture colleague (supposedly we're on
the same side here?) is unworthy of permaculture and certainly not an
example of the level of People Care I believe we aim for. We can have free
discussions without resorting to insults.

If I say you're inaccurate in what you say and you accuse me of being
personally abusive then what am I to think?
