Thanks Doug - I appreciate everyone's thoughtful analysis and critique of my posts. I love this site and engage it daily..so much so that it finally compelled me to respond.

Also, I am completely open to learning and like every approach - I know that autonomism has its inherent weaknesses.

"Fucked if I know," would be my honest and genuine answer. On good days, I can get beyond that, thank god.

Yeah, discourse can be a little rough here sometimes, but I try to keep a lid on the purely personal insults. I can't read everything, so if you feel like someone is flaming you pointlessly, let me know. But if someone disagrees with you sharply, that's a good thing.
