Personally, I've been accused of gaybashing(Brian Dauth, Queer Buddist Resister), marginal life style (D Henwood) (thank you for the compliment, darlin'), Moralist and anti-sex(!) (I forget whom, but thanks for the laugh anyway) and perhaps other slurs that I've been too slow-witted or uninterested to catch...
All in a days work critiquing the "circular firing squad" that is, and in my lifetime as a whole, has always defined... "left". [snicker]
