Hyper-separatism

Stuart Olyott

Stuart Olyott gives another point of view

The three articles on 'Hyper-separatism' by Jonathan Stephen, Brian Edwards and John Rosser have caused me a great deal of distress. I know of many others who have had the same reaction. I believe that anyone who follows what my three friends have recommended will be making a very big mistake indeed.

I am not a 'hyper-separatist', as this article will make plain. I have lived through the debates on first, second and third degree separation, and 'guilt by association', and have never fully understood them.
