Oh, yes! I remember Mr. Jones's high caliber posts -- like the one where 
he referred to the _New Left Review_ as a "faggot-valhalla."

I also remember the courageous way NOT that Siddharth challenged him re 
that statement. It seems that most of our Maoists only believe that the 
Maoist "principle" of "criticism and self criticism" only applies to 
NON-Maoists.

Yes, I agree! It's about time someone such as LNP with his _vast_ 
experience told those young whippersnappers to behave themselves! Those 
revolutionary babies don't remember the days when you had to walk 10 
miles each day to the nearest demo. They've all got it _so_ easy now and 
need to be put in their place by the elder -- and wiser -- generation!

(read heavy sarcasm into the above).
