Hi Bellamy,

I was the one who posted your text here to ANEWS. First off, thank you for writing this as I found your text informative and worthwhile. Yes, it’s not really news so to speak, like anarchist actions, and it isn’t even anything necessarily new as this topic, as some have said, is like beating a dead horse. I would definitely agree because usually when I read something along these lines or hear the latest drama, the sentiment is just really upsetting, the facts missing, and more than a bit shocking to see how anarchists have reacted to other each other. Your text brings up some things that I think are important for anarchists to take note of with things like no platforming, relationships between anarchists and their projects, how people on the same team so-to-speak critique and communicate with each other, and just how terrible a community can be.

Always the best intentions in sharing, the intention was not to cause you more trouble. I wanted to let you know that I appreciated you writing this text, as it resonates strongly with me and my experience in the terrible community.

cheers,
- thecollective_1.8

EDIT: I forgot to mention - in your text you mention William Gillis posted their text in reference to ANEWS. They didn't share it here on ANEWS, it was shared by thecollective. Perhaps, you meant the comments section exchange between William and you; I don't know.
