This is exquisite.

I hope Daniel doesn't mind, I liked a comment he made on Movingon so much I've reposted it here. He's replying to someone's suggestion that attacking FCF might be counter-productive. The language Daniel uses is suberb, succinct and effective. I'm a language teacher and I appreciate communicative gems such as these.

It will hurt the leadership. And when they move on elsewhere, we will follow them there. How could TF be any more paranoid than they already are? It IS them against the world. Why is it incumbent upon us the Second Generation to hold back while they mistreat us, insult us, and ignore the pain they've caused us, while they hold contact with them and our siblings over our head like some turkish delight which we will only get if we behave. Let them ROT I say. It is we who should be setting the tone and making the demands. Why must we be the ones always reaching out. If we make a success of ourselves and starve them, then they will have no option but to reach out. Remember, at their core they are moochers and leaches. Fire their nests, burn out their dens, flood their burrows. Expose their christianity for what it is, a cloak to hide their fantasy land of demons, kings and queens. Expose them for the unrepentant child abusers and destroyers of innocence that they are. Why must we simper and cower behind the labels they so calculatingly throw at us? It is they who should run and hide. It is they who should hide their faces in shame!
