To: Dave in Eugene of all places
From the posts I read, it seems like this guy isn't the anti-propery rights idealogical sort of tree sitter, but a man who has a unique, emotional connection to trees, which makes his motives somewhat more tolerable. Why was he banned?

>>Why was he banned?
I dunno for sure, but I think it's probably more about what folks that know him say about him, than what he says himself. Most of us around here know the neighborhood and the type of folks he hangs out with.
His particular causes mesh somewhat with those of the world famous Eugene anarchists, of Seattle WTO riot fame, and he's been seen with them in local media.
I just think Jim Rob probably has no use for someone who would be seen with them.
And it's funny, because some of my own causes mesh with theirs too, but they are not right about enough stuff that I would, at this time, dare to be seen with them. That will get you put on lists you don't want to be on (I have been on one of those list before, and it took a lot of work to get off of it, but I haven't been beaten up by a cop since 1975).
