Neither did I. Thanks for the personal insights, Nessie.
The notion that there were two sides to this story never
crossed my mind. Its been a pleasant surprise to find out
otherwise.
As a recovering right-wing libertarian, I still have MUCH
to learn about left-wing libertarianism; thus will have a
tendency of putting my foot in my mouth from time-to-time,
as I obviously just did here. Sorry, I had NO idea!

Except, I assume, for the "very funny and insightful stuff",
found in most of "his writing, which is eminently respectable",
(to use your words, with which I tend to agree).
Off the top of your head, are there other writings of Bob
Black that you have major problems with? For example:
http://www.spunk.org/library/writers/black/index.html
Also, I've noticed there are LOTS of anarchist lists out there,
what listserver would you (or J2) recommend a newbie anarchist
subscribe to / lurk on? Preferably one without TOO much traffic,
as I'm already subscribed to 6 other lists, besides CTRL (although
CTRL seems to have as much traffic as the other lists combined).
