Subject: M-G: Bob Malecki obviously is *not* a provocateur


Bob M. seems to be in some trouble again because of
some - bad - actions by others on that slave list, M-I
- to which I refrain from posting. So I'm sending the
below to M-G.

Trotskyite Bob's political standpoint on the whole IMO is 
anti-Marxist and reactionary. *But* in the course of a year's 
Net acquaintance I've come to respect him in certain ways
too. Bob had defended *some* correct things, among other
things has gone against the suppression attempts against
the discussion at several points in the past, and obviously
is *open and aboveboard*, in his mistakes too. That's good.

He writes a lot, yes. That in itself IS A VERY GOOD THING,
by no means a bad one. As I said before, we all need "yap,
yap, yap" and certainly not silence.

The silent people, by their very silence on points where
they would have had much to say, had they been honest,
those are the really suspect ones.

That writer, Bob Malecki, an "agent provocateur"?? I've had
some experience with real such people and, from Bob's writings
so far, with a high degree of certainly, I think, can make
the assessment: *That* he is *not*.

Those slave owners on M-I (etc) - I'm not certain exactly who's
involved but Louis "Nobleman" Proyect does appear to be one
of them - should, once more, be ashamed of themselves.

Rolf M.
