Bob, I am not going to be told by you that I am in bed with these 
people.  Before you blow you credibility totally you should think 
again. You know I am opposed to a moderated list. You know I am 
opposed to Cox's ban on you.  But I am also against you breaking your 
own rules and politically labelling someone as as "feminist 
ballbreaker" instead of having a political argument. The fact is 
that in my opinion you did give Cox just the reason he was looking 
for to get rid of you. So not only are you breaking your own 
principles here but you are being tactically stupid offering  
yourself as a victim to the neo-stalinists and their allies to line 
up support for censoring M-F. You can't expect to win a serious fight 
for an open, democratic list, when you refuse to acknowledge your own 
mistakes.
