I didn't have anything to do with kicking her off the FB page and I DID try to be nice to her and get everyone to do the same. If she wants to come debate points on the blog, she's welcome, even now. I just find the poor me attitude a little hard to take considering. Isn't that one of the things everyone complains about us for?
There is a difference between believing in free speech and forcing oneself to listen to hatefulness, which is why the FB is private. There is an Occupy community page as well which is open to everyone. And then there is a closed group so that people of like mind can have a conversation.

I don't agree with FL on a number of things, but describing her as having a poor me attitude is laughable. What's she done is point out the massive hypocrisy that exists among these people. Listen to what we have to say, don't judge us, have an open dialogue, unless of course that dialogue calls us out on the blatant hole sin our arguments. In which case we'll censor you.
You seem like a smart guy, although I think your focus on macro concepts without really considering any of the myriad of underlying issues is a major problem, so I really don't understand why you'd align yourself with this group of twits. I mean these are people who were flummoxed by the concept of the legal bar. There are intelligent people in the occupy movement with good ideas, some who even have action plans, but none of them were camped out at olympic plaza.
