that's all the effort it's worth sometimes. not much point typing out a lengthy explanation why someone's being a bit of a dick when it's that obvious.

Feeling is absolutely mutual.

Yes there’s lots of people on here you’re not fond of.
But perhaps you can open up about those feelings on another thread.
Might also be worth you reflecting on why you get the same comments from different posters too.

I’m just glad that when Rutita1 speaks on behalf of ‘the rest of us’ and ‘us all’ I’m pretty sure she’s not including me.
Fuck off princess. Feel relevant and suitably adhered and attended to now? Good.

Uff. Is that it? There are far more that I appreciate and am fond of. So there you go.

What is right with you?
What a silly question? You had no reason to get involved but you did and I am supposed to listen and feel belitted by what it is to be you and your judgements?
What is wrong with you?

I have no such obsession princess but you crack on thinking you are having an impact and winning around here. Dare I say it's odd?
The 'us' I referred to in my post to MM is obvious to those of us that he has sneered and pointed at recently.
You keep at this though.

When I began to read Freedom's statement, I thought they were going to say that they'd organise an anarchist bookfair in london next year
This isn’t the general forum.

I wonder if anyone is going to get one together? It's a massive undertaking to do anything approaching the usual scale, something I think lots of people are clueless about. It'd be pretty easy to have a shit small one though.
Seriously can you lot with this bollocks personal shit fuck off and do it somewhere else? It's fucking embarrassing and disruptive to a sensible discussion.

Done.
I wonder where it’s situated on the wheel of oppression.

I imagine a few events are watching and wondering what this means for them.
they've helpfully highlighted to opportunity for someone else to step up.When I began to read Freedom's statement, I thought they were going to say that they'd organise an anarchist bookfair in london next year
...anyone?

As far as the Freedom statement goes....
Tbh I was disappointed to see them rush straight into the condemnflation that seems all pervasive these days.
Like whenever there’s a terrorist attack all we see is a queue of people trying to condemn it more strongly than the person before them. Analysis and discussion is lost behind this moral grandstanding.
...and so it seems with the bookfair debacle.
Beyond that, I was also disappointed to see how much the language/tone/vocabulary being used echoes that of the current social media based activism.
But I s’pose that’s the audience the statement is written for.

It's more than a bit of a poison chalice now though....
It reads as half written to me. Like someone set out with full and clear intentions and then thought...'that'll do..'
Those leaflets were awful/piss poor however the response to those and other tactics need discussing IMO.
It's all out anarchy and 'by any means necessary' meaning violence as a means of protest and no platforming or it isn't.

It would be a shame not to have a bookfair in 2018 but I think anyone that takes it on is going to have to deal with a lot more than simply organising the event and dealing with the criticisms of the various open letter writers.... Might it be seen as a bit of a betrayal by the bookfair collective also?
What we need is for the state and police to sort it. Because that’s who’s sorting the trans vs terfs debate on both of their terms, isn’t it?

The future is a passive aggressive Facebook post stamping on a human face. Forever.

Well the ‘terfs’ aren’t generally anarchists; and expecting police to ‘sort out’ harassment and assault is, er, quite normal.
I’m not sure what your point is.
