I never had a whole website devoted to homelessness.  I founded the
Usenet newsgroup alt.society.homeless to make sure there would be a
free, unmoderated, uncensored forum over the issue.  At the time,
others were creating more popular listservs but were often claiming to
be or to represent the homeless when they weren't, and they were
asserting ownership (exclusionary and stigma generating rights) over
their lists in a way that they could filter content and people.

It's funny now how Rudy Canoza personally attacks me for posting
others' stuff.  I used to insert a disclaimer but it's a bit more
onerous posting from the web.  Rudy supports content filtering.  He
can't delete the posts from the Usenet so he trying to hammer me with
harassment.

Everyone uses a straw people at one time or another to assert their
views.  "The Homeless" are a classic case of this, whether used by
Robert Norse or Rudy Canoza, or by the homeless themselves.  So what's
the big deal?  It's obvious that someone has standing to express one's
own views, but lacks standing to formally represent the views of
'straw' people, assuming such people are also real.
