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?
