Really? What's the difference? When somebody is told publicly to "fuck off," that pretty much the same as being called a "cop" etc. I've experienced both forms of abuse and I don't see a big difference.
So is it OK is I say that the Socialist Scholars conference should go fuck itself? I haven't bashed the irrelevant ISO in a while, so it might be nice to insult them with more obnoxious langauge.
