[Seaside] A new critical blog discussing Seaside - now concrete proposals

[James Robertson]

It's really, really hard to take anything you say seriously when you  
insist on a veil of anonymity.  Seaside is not some political group,  
and you aren't a revolutionary.  Let us know who you are, and make  
your comments constructively, rather than destructively.

You've already seen how people are taking the kind of rhetoric you're  
dishing out, so I guess I'll ask you this: how's that working out for  
you so far?
