I recall looking at your blog (or by an anarchist by the name Chuck
who sounded like you), and already noted this claim of yours. I merely
disagree.

Respectfully, I find your claims on this forum tend to have low
credibility (and I do spend time checking them out). Particularly as
you don't back up your claims -- and unfortunately you're taken as
some representative of anarchism as a whole. And you do nothing to
deflect that perception.

I googled it before I posted, to get a basic idea. So you responded to
him in a brusque manner, without knowing what it means?

For an anarchist source on how to listen to people you're criticizing,
google up prof Mark Lance's talk on Unwelcome Guests, where he talks
about how part of honest communication is actually LISTENING to
people.
