Reply #287: "An ally of the likes of Joseph Stalin"?

[Stand and Fight]

Riiight....

Joseph Stalin helped engineer the deaths of countless numbers of people -- more than Adolf Hitler and certainly more than our piss-ant president, George "Dubya" Bush. So, that tells us that you will allow anyone to walk all over you just because they appear to be serving the larger cause. Well, sometimes people's ego hinder a movement more than they help it, and I adamantly feel that at this "critical juncture," it is imperative that we NOT do that. Especially when people in the main stream media are willing to cover the story, and decline to do so because of an erratic and eccentric ego driven personality. You say we cannot afford to lose this fight, and I don't think anyone here would disagree with that part of your argument. However, your argument borders on the absurd when you say we need every resource available to us when the person you are championing just burnt a bridge to a mainstream media personality -- the only one -- who has been covering this story form almost the very beginning. And you're very right on another of your points -- "Personality clashes, legal threats, obnoxious behavior be damned!" Exactly. That is the reason the moderators have made a most reasonable decision in light of Bev Harris' transgressions against our collective better interest. Rather than being concerned about the collective better interest the person whom you champion has threatened to bite the very hands that fed her and, much worst, ignored or neglected to contact those who have offered to lend our efforts greater numbers. Patton is a personal hero of mind, and you would do yourself a great service to actually study his life rather than drawing comparisons on moot poets. Bev Harris is no where near the champion of democracy as that great soldier -- regardless of his flamboyant personality tendencies. No, I believe the decision the moderators have made is wise and shall serve to further our collective interests. Having served in the army I can tell you that in the heat of battle the most successful warriors know to put aside their egos and put their teams before themselves. They know this because not doing so will result in defeat and worst yet death. Oh, one more than about Stalin... In the end it was his ego and paranoia that desired him and the communist movement he sought to spread.... Kinda makes you think.
