Plus, syndication to places like LiveJournal, DreamWidth, Facebook, and Twitter will still be around.

All the wonderful people who chipped in the last couple years have been amazing, and I can't thank them enough for the support they've shown.

I guess for an editor, some habits are hard to break." Point of order: you do know that getting banned from an Internet forum isn't "censorship," right? You can indeed be against censorship while booting people off an Internet forum you control. Just as you can be against censorship and call the cops on someone shouting at you on your yard.

Perhaps it is the mudslingers' politics/agenda that should be put under the magnifying glass." Well, I have no professional or personal relationship with Scarlet Imprint, I don't publish esoteric books, not looking to get published in any book on magic(k)al practice, and I'm not really the biggest Crowley fan. So it would be hard, I think, to categorize me as some sycophantic follower of random proclamations made on the Internet by SI. So, when I tell you that Southgate is indeed a crypto-fascist and any serious reading of his history, words, and associations would bear that out, would you take it seriously? As for him being a "dangerous, bigoted, wolf in sheep's clothing," well if you think subscribing to beliefs straight out of the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (“vampiric parasites intent on carving up the world’s resources in an attempt to create a single, global market”) or racial separatism ("a coffee-coloured mush of uniform humanity"), or anti-feminism, or anti-abortion, or his "criticism" of fascism that really isn't criticism at all (he mostly thinks their tactics were bad) aren't well, "dangerous" or "bigoted," I'm not sure what to tell you. As for entryism, it is something he admits to, so its hardly a conspiracy against him. Now, if you think a publishing company run by someone with his views is something you want to support, there's nobody stopping you. But as I said, to pretend that we live in apolitical vacuums where his views won't ultimately taint the work of authors who participate in his ventures is naive at best. An "apolitical" book that supports a very political man's company and goals isn't "apolitical" at all.

Your focus on Cara is bordering on inappropriate.

So did the spirits give you a blood quantum to decide at what level someone was a "mixed-blood"? Is one drop enough? It certainly was under Jim Crow. Will those who are "mixed" who try to live with a non-mixed "tribe" be ejected? Put in a ghetto? Killed? Will every society live under martial law preventing immigration and emigration? Will marriages be arranged? This Utopian vision sounds like a far larger nightmare than the fears you hold regarding the elimination of "racial aspects."

"I stand by my comments on a 'coffee-coloured' world, because if globalisation and mass immigration continues then people from all racial backgrounds will lose their identity and surely that has to be a great tragedy for all concerned." So really, the only thing that might be incorrect in my article is that you no longer find gays to be "unnatural" and participating in a culture of "death and AIDS" (though I note you say you "revised" your views, not retracted). But you still stand firm regarding feminism, racial separatism, and, I'm assuming, your belief that Zionist Jews are “vampiric parasites intent on carving up the world’s resources in an attempt to create a single, global market.” As for your assertions that you are "anti-fascist and anti-nazi" those are de rigueur public stances for third positionist entryists. You even admit to being an entryist in your own manifesto: "there is no reason why tactics such as entryism, industrial sabotage, picket lines, fundraising and community action should not be used by National-Anarchists."

I'm referring to one specific UK/European phenomenon.

I have no beef with "Pagans Tonight". Sorry if you felt I was taking aim at you. The link was more pointing to the fact that one could guess who the elders and teachers might be due to the participants being on your show.

Those are not my actual words. I never said "when pagan thought was imported." That said, I do take to heart how easy it is for something said in the context of a phone conversation to be distorted through someone else's filter. I will endeavor to do better in the future, and perhaps insist on typed correspondence in the future.

I'm sorry you, or anyone else, felt alienated. As I implied above, most of my nuance was lost in the final piece.

I did, in fact, mention to her that there were home-grown varieties of Paganism in America.

I wasn't implying that Faerie/Feri was descended from BTW. However, we can at least agree that Buckland coming over, along with British-written books on Wicca sparked a surge that was truly historic.

Are any of these threats posted online?

Thank you for sharing this with us. As things move forward I'd love to hear more from you. Feel free to contact me via email (jpitzl at gmail dot com) and we can discuss details if you're interested.
