Although I think that your first removal was justified, I don't agree with
the others . . . in fact I find it quite odd that the one (?) remaining
original participant in Fluxus on the fluxlist, Eric Andersen, has been
removed. . . I know that
Eric can seem confrontive at times, but I have to say so what? He is truly
committed to what he believes (that is a good thing), you always know
where he stands, does interesting work as an artist, is really a nice guy
and has lived and worked
Fluxus for forty years - all of which I know I can learn from and I am
sure others as well.
Just a few thoughts. . . .

Owen, these are excuses. Can you name one worthwhile thing you have
learned from Eric Anderson's posts to FLUXLIST? Can you produce one even
minimally constructive post? His entire output on this list has been to 1.
maintain his assertion that no one in "real Fluxus" considers Ken Friedman
to be legitimate, and 2. that Fluxlist is a foolish enterprise, has nothing
to do with Fluxus, and that those of us who participate are fools. Why
would anyone even want to maintain membership on an email discussion list
when this is their sole agenda? Eric Anderson is not a really nice guy,
not on Fluxlist. Show me one "nice guy" post. Show me one post where he
has ever contributed anything interesting or useful or beyond himself to
this list, and I will stand corrected. I don't care if Eric was at
Weisbaden in 1962 or if he has been involved in his own strain of Fluxus
for 40 years. That does not excuse his behavior on this list and how he
has treated others. He should be ashamed of himself. Sincerely, Allen
