I think that we would all agree that people have different intellectual styles. Still, there's been a consensus that name-calling and personal attacks on character are not so helpful. My feeling, anyway, is that it would be great if you could hold back on that stuff. I don't know anything about the specific issue of Bhaskar's assessment of Lenin's reading of Marx and Hegel, so I can't comment on that, but hopefully I'll be able to take part in any on-going discussion of the text.
