babble is rabble.ca's discussion board but it's much more than that: it's an online community for folks who just won't shut up. It's a place to tell each other — and the world — what's up with our work and campaigns.
Hello, everyone!
November 3, 2014 - 12:58pm
Having now been a member of Rabble (love the name - inspired my self-mocking 'handle' - I'm really pretty mild) for about a month, I realize that I should introduce myself. I'm enjoying the various conversations and have contributed a few times - moving into a post-FB phase! So - be chatting with you.
Welcome to babble, Red Andy.
*waves to Red Andy*
Welcome Andy! Just so you know, the default address for babblers is already "Red" -- so I see that "Red bagkitty" and "Red onlinediscountanvils" have already said hello. I guess that means we'll call you "Red Red Andy." I hope that suits.
Red is best,
Red Catchfire
> Red is best.
That said, you will also find a fair bit of orange, purple, pink and green around here, too. Individually, or rainbow-style. Not so much black these days, since Kropotkin went on leave.
And no brown. Definitely no brown.
And black. Of the anarchist variety, not the Italian fascist one. In particular the IWW black cat, and the red and black flag of the CNT.
> and the red and black flag of the CNT.
Ha! - now here's a coincidence, lagatta: I happen to be in Barcelona this week for work related meetings. And had a glorious, sunny Sunday walking around the city absorbing the sights and atmosphere. The dominant flag flying across the city at the moment is the Catalan national flag, - given the fervour around the contested independence / secessionist referendum scheduled for this weekend. But will keep an eye open for the CNT banner as I wander about in my nightly pursuit of cava and tapas!
I'm always chuffed to be included in the party, but full disclosure; I'm a Red in mane only. I'd hate to tarnish Red bagkitty and Red Catchfire by association. My politics are a decidely darker hue.
Welcome to the Monkey House
well at least I wasn't referred to as purple, I have always considered purple to be the ugly child of the spectrum
but I am a stripey kitty, red and black...
Pardon my tardiness but welcome to babble Red! Let me know if I can be of assistance.

Hi Red Andy. Are you liberal red, or perhaps of the other political persuasion traditionally associated with red? Or maybe you're seeing red from being flummoxed by politics more generally?
Slumberjack.... you forgot the possibility that Red Andy is one of our American cousins... although perhaps not likely, I haven't detected the odor of brimstone...
You're right. I hadn't counted on one of those signing up, at least with an interest in 'various conversations.'
Здравствуйте, товарищ!
Хороший, хороший, хороший. Yeah, that must have been it. Then again, "Восток красен".
