Len was in it for the money. Not the art. Not the politics. Just like these days he's into exploiting natives for the money.
Cliff Varnell Wrote:The assault on group-think begats more group-think. Len Colby's hobby is assaulting what he regards as conspiracy group-think.
The fact that he drove so many people off the EF Political Conspiracy section and spurred the formation of Deep Politics Forum is, no doubt, a source of pride for Mr. Colby.
It was the group-think by one group there that spurred the formation of the DPF and a source of pride for many.
The latter point I applaud. I took as much shit over at the EF as anybody.
Maybe more than anybody.
Craig Lamson spewed ad hominem invective to the point of calling me a crooked poker dealer.
Evan Burton was fine with that but he threatened me with moderation when I called Lamson a lair.
I called several times for Burton to be fired.
As to the former point...Len tour managed GG Allin for the money?
If he printed merchandise for GG Allin maybe you'd have a point -- but tour managers of underground bands like that don't make shit.
