Where does anyone think RTS and/or Earth First mellowed as a result of Monbiot's involvement?

Indeed, some people are like that. But Monbiot, if anything, distances himself. I remember an Earth First activist coining the term 'Monbiotic' and defining it as 'overstating the importance of a political group whilst denying membership of it'.

although, it they never get off the ground there always seems to be someone encouraging the drawing up of 'membership lists' and so on.


Again, that's true of 'some people'; but when has it been Monbiot?
