On stereotypes.

[Kelley Walker]

I made no assumptions about you. I corrected one you'd made about me: that 
training in sociology precluded my ability to be an activist. this was not 
a suggestion that you weren't in activist. in fact, i assumed that you 
were  given your involvement in DAN evidenced by forwards to the list. 
since i don't think activism is bad thing, and haven't indicated that i do, 
then i didn't engage in any stereotyping of you.  i did, however, find what 
you said unsupportable. that is, i took issue with your attack on max. you 
denounced what he said as "crap". that's a hostile characterization of 
someone else's post. i also took issue with what i thought were unfounded 
claims about the role of the state. these are debatable. suggesting that 
you are making claims that seem unrelated to reality is not an unusual 
thing to do in list exchanges.

if you are unwilling to back up claims with arguments and if you don't like 
what some folks post, it's a simple matter of creating filters for those 
individuals you don't care to read. this will save you lots of time wading 
through list posts.

hth and hand.
