there is obviously no end to this debate. i respectfully apologize for "naming names", and for assuming damage was a mr. aren't you all glad though that you know who i am? so you know who you are directing your comments towards? for instance, eric from the article posted his comment under the name eric.
anyway, i certainly never suggested that a collective of individuals *needed* to inform TSU organizers or *get* permission from TSU organizers to post their opinions. i see this article as a discreet online jab at TSU organizers... note it was posted on a california indymedia site, was not sent to the new jersey TSU organizing listserv, and the opening statement "As Tent State protests enter their fifth day, key organizers show how to achieve 'mainstream' legitimacy: brown-nose the adminstration, defend fascist counter-protesters and be as politically ineffective as possible. Here's the inside story..." certainly does not convince me that the article is a legitimate presentation of the concerns of a collective of individuals.
eric, i do not stand against anti-fascists. i do not stand against you. i am sorry that tents and orange shirts scare you. i definitely did not indicate anywhere that in any way i stood against the "rutgers antifascist caucus". i stand against what i believe to be exaggerated charges against TSU organizers. i believe in solidarity as much as any anti-fascist caucus member. solidarity is simply "A union of interests, purposes, or sympathies among members of a group".
