One thing I will comment is that debate on the issue of organisation/method is often unproductive because the purpose/role of organisation in different viewpoints is not made clear (in fact, in many polemics I read, the writers seem unaware that there is any differentiation on this matter at all). A classic example of this would be when those inclined to formal organisation criticise the method of informal organisation for failing to create mass-movements or failing to gain the support of the public. Also it is quite common for people to argue for or against a method of organisation as if it is an ideological commitment that one must apply in all circumstances, seemingly unable to process the idea that specific methods may be useful in one context but not another.

I agree with most of what you write here, especially about the seeds of sectarianism which can be planted by those who see an organisational form as a economic or social platform in itself.
I believe almost any form of organisation has it's uses depending on the situation, and personally support many different types. My main aim with the original post is to look closely and criticise these ideas to find ways we can make them and use them more effectively.
