Ladies, if you had bothered to read all of my posts, you would know that I have marched with Star. I’ve also taken her nonviolent resistance training and attended meetings for planned actions. I choose to not identify because criticism of Starhawk is not looked upon with favor within reclaiming… where she can do no wrong. I stand by what I wrote earlier. She’s only interested in promoting herself. But that seems to be the path to success and money with well known pagana.

I think Anon was assuming no one reading this blog or the comments would actually know Starhawk or would have ever worked with her and apparently quite a few do and have.

Anon,Smearing the reputation of others without identifying yourself and being willing to publicly stand behind those comments with your real name is pathetically cowardly. If you have something to say that is based in any real experience, have the decency to put your name behind it. Otherwise, no one is going to care what you say or respect it. If you have evidence or are even just willing to tell us who you are and stand behind your comments, then I’d be willing to listen until what you have to say. Until then, you are just another internet crank to be ignored.

Anonymous: your total lack of ANY specific citations reduces your credibility to zero. CAn you privide any backup for any of your nonsensical charges? You know, like court records showing a valid conviction for criminal acts?During the DC protests, activists close to Starhawk (like Lisa) deliberately got pepper-sprayed because it made a good photo opp.Please tell us how, exactly, one “deliberately gets pepper-sprayed.” Again, your failure to describe specific events does not inspire confidence in your reporting.Beware what you read in all of the media…And what are YOUR sources?

greenowlmother, my earlier comments were based on my observations and experiences from several actions. Like most folks, I started supporting her work from a position of idealism. Then I started seeing who she was associating with. I understand her emphasis on building alliances, as she discusses on her website. But I fail to see how destruction of public property via vandalism helps build a new world. My impression is that these are groups of people who are only interested in serving themselves and their own sense of self-importance. As for Starhawk, I find it difficult to take her seriously when she’s made a very good living for herself through publishing. Doesn’t she own a home in the wine country of California? So it’s OK to use the system to become wealthy and then whine about how oppressive that same system is? Sorry, that actually sounds a bit irrational to me. But these self-described radicals don’t seem to hold a high value of rationality, now do they?

As someone who knows Starhawk, I am appalled to see people writing about her like this! Get more info before you draw such a ridiculous conclusion!It’s happening all over the country. It’s just at the main convention sites that are getting the most notice and media coverage.
