IF YOU THINK I'M HARD ON YOU ... | 2006-12-26
I was very frank about what I really think in the last piece, which may strike you as being rough. If you think that, look at a piece I just put in the Sustaining members section on Stormfront:
-- Running Home to Mommy
Every time Kelso announces a new membership level, somebody groans about how so many of registered members have dropped out.
But it seems that about twice a week when I go to the Sustaining Members section, I see another lead thread that says, "Somebody was mean to me, so I'm taking my marbles and I'm going home!"
People who sign up for SF are not go-along-get-along types. In my decades in the movement, I have seen more people get upset at trifles and march out than I have seen people who were still with us two years later.
The wonder is that we have all these people, whose very qualification for being here is that they don't go along with massively enforced popular opinion, still with us. Until Sustaining Members stop running home to Mommy, I don't have much use for the "Where do they go?" stuff.
