Anarchists (self-labelled) come in two rather distinct genera (and many species within each, of course). For one group it is, more or less, simply a way of indicating that they are anti-capitalist but don't care to ascribe to some versions of marxism. They make good comrades, as a matter of fact. The second genus, going back to the founders in the 196h century, are dangerous -- to friend and foe. They are splitters and disrupters of all attempts to organize collective resistance. In merely verbal contexts, such as a mail list, this dogmatic splittism shows up in verbal intolerance of others: Contrary views are not merely contrary views, to be disputed or ignored. Contrary views are seen as personal attacks, and they quite often lose their cool. Ignore them.
