I never posted one lie about you on Facebook (though you posted quite a lot of quite nasty, public and damaging lies about me and others in a blog some time ago) - and I accused you of making xenophobic statements because they were.

I don't care whether you, personally, have any regard for FAF, its members or its aims. The point is, we found a core of people who thought the same way about a particular issue within a reasonable geographical proximity of each other, all of whom had skills to bring to the table, and we got off our arses and did something. We spent a hell of a lot of our own time (not to mention money) organising meetings, talking to the press, writing website copy, having merch made, contacting artists, and planning the events and strategy which will take us up to FAF week next year. So far it's been pretty successful. It's a model you might like to think about adopting in your own numerous crusades.


"You want this to happen, Dave...then you do it my way."
In other words, you do it for me. As Uncle Bill famously said, start your own revolution, Lizzie, and cut out the middleman. All this ranting on messageboards gets you nowhere. The revolution is just a t-shirt away...
