A few points of conflict with Jackie L's (Eilonnwy) article.

[Anomalocaris]

Since when did plants start being racist?

When a system of ecological apartheid separated conifers from deciduous trees.

And how and where am I oppressing anyone?

That you don't know it illustrates the point. Have you any clue how you might be?

So absence of evidence is now also evidence of presence?

When discussions deteriorate into angry verbal assaults and name calling, it's no longer a discussion. Time to back out of it, and leave it alone. There's no longer a point to be made.

I find myself agreeing with you. This is a bad sign, the end times must be near.

You make a claim about me.

It's all about you isn't it tav.

To everyone else.. what is this strawman we're building here? The topic of privilege is being pretty thoroughly discussed. That's the subject. Nothing else. Lets not try to derail the topic.

I love how you grandstand for a mostly unsympathetic audience while trying to weasel out of consequences of accusing tav by name.
