A small point on Jerry L and Left >< Unity list:

Indeed, the whole thing was the most busily repellent of lists. Bob M was
never even let on, Ben Burgis and myself were expelled double quick, and
even Louis >< P got himself thrown off (though there were all kinds of
smoke and mirrors going on so no two accounts of what happened around him
on and off list will be the same).

Jerry was never anywhere near it.

A pox on unprincipled unity!! A pox on feel-good "we're all buddies
together" consensus!!

Better honest disagreement and battle over differences than a bunch of
ferrets in a sack pretending they're all nice little bunny rabbits. Or
lemmings!

Cheers,

Hugh
