Dear lists, I received the following "comradely" note "privately" under the above heading: >You fucking little toad. Watch how easy it will be to ignore you from now >on. By the way, I know Morenoite politics 50 times better than you and was >defending them with vigor in 1974. Any Morenoite worth his salt wouldn't >have gone near Malecki with a 10 foot pole. Perhaps you, him and Martens >do share an office after all. > > >Your pal, 1) This might be an unwanted consequence of m-international being a moderated list -- the venom felt by some subscribers can't expediently be vented in public, so it's spat out in private messages, redoubled. 2) I've brought it into the open (except for the signature) because this kind of thing can only be stopped by exposure. It thrives on behind-the-scenes operation. It's a despicable method of political argument that should be exposed and rejected. 3) Far from marking a new start with the new list, it carries all the old bad habits right over into the dynamics of the new lists. Not a word about political differences, let alone the topic of the heading. 4) Next time I get this kind of message I won't hesitate to post the lot, signature and all. Let's have open, political discussion. These lists are *nobody's* private turf. Cheers, Hugh
