Reply #258: "The Baby?" Yes, I would agree that Bev's temperament has been...

[Maddy McCall]

quite immature.

But BBV is not Bev's baby. It belongs to all of the activists who began the BBV efforts, who contributed in vast ways to the BBV book, who funded her dubious trips around the U.S.

Just because "the baby" is gone does not mean that the bathwater has been drained. Perhaps MORE will get accomplished, now that the most divisive figure ever at DU is out of the way. The true activists in this movement will continue their efforts, of that I have no doubt.

Beware the charlatans.
