I do not want to be invited back to the list or be apologized to. One does
the latter when one makes a mistake; Tobin's remarks were calculated. I am
in the process of figuring out how to unsub (I think I got it figured
out). From Ruth comments - although one person, from the tenor of others'
posts to me I expect them to have as well heard warmth and understanding
in Tobin's post - it appears past loyalties will preclude any recognition
of Tobin's self-serving actions. I understand that; that is why I am
unsubbing. Comrades should be tight! However, I must congratulate the list
for Tobin: the method with which critical thought is scared off this
channel is a little more creative that the simple purging method.

PS, I am glad I left just as text readings are moving to the
externalization and naturalization of the "law of cause and effect."
Absolute and cosmic idealism is about to step into high gear. A most
appropriate exit for a Marxist.
