I haven't been following the warp and woof of this thread too closely but
would like to say this. I was present at a conference in Salford last year
and heard John Kinsella explain very patiently to a questioner that his
anarchist and vegan beliefs mean that all decisions in his life are ethical
choices. I have been pleased to know John for some years now and this seems
to me to reveal some important things about him: first, he is always
prepared to engage in dialogue; second, he conducts himself according to
rigorous standards. Whether or not one agrees with his beliefs and his
rigour, it seems to me that the very least they demand is a response in
kind.
cheers
