This sort of thing is a large part of the reason the U.S. radical left is so tiny. Who in their right minds would want to hang around a bunch who spent their time on this kind of nasty and thought-empty insult-trading and sniping?
Fortunately, I have met a fair number of anarchists and other radicals in my life who were actually good-humored, pleasant, friendly people to be around, or I would have become a regular, apolitical American long ago.
