walter: These writers (and your good self) go out of their way to denigrate the everyday struggles of race and gender campaigners No, I don't. Please withdraw that statement. walter: Not a 'curious' term Margo - only one group is at war with the other activists Why the need for "war" (and "warrior") language? With all due respect, there's no need to get over-heated on the issue. This is just a message board where people discuss, debate and chat about stuff. Most people here appear to be anti war and anti aggression. I'm not looking for any "wars" and I think that sort of terminology ups the ante and is unnecessary language because it hampers calm discourse. Walter, why do you feel there's a "war" going on? Why do you introduce a phrase like "class warrior" into this thread? "War" is a word that carries connotations of aggression and violence and I, for one, don't like it.
