Mr. Rhodes,
I was involved in SCEF! for years and have participated in several local and regional actions. I have been involved in EF! at an organizational level within a number of groups and acknowledge the clear hierarchy; a leadership that has lost control of defense and has allowed this situation to control the untimely deaths of two activists this year - one here and one in Oregon. These are tragedies that wring tears from all of us; the tears themselves are preventable.

I make reference to the website because it is a resource you can draw from; far easier to the audience of this website than the watershed forests themselves.

If I may quote you: "don't leap to judgement [sic] and finger pointing"
