The only clear world Carol Cox lives in is to delete anybody he can't answer 
politically. When that don't work he has other bureaucratic measures to 
insure his "safe" little world..

Carol in the lack of any kind of political position at all is trying to tell 
us "delete posts" and "don't read and when he fianally gets down to babbling 
something he can't even see the differences in lets say Harry's post-or a 
post by a Trotskyist like myself. To top it all off Carrol NEVER says 
anything political on this list so who is he trying to kid...

Carrol continues in a long non political barrage where he admits he knows 
nothing about the Labor Party but knows all about those horrible Trotskyists 
who need pampers among other things. Carrol you are a big joke. A list leach 
who says nothing political at all except Nick is a nice guy, Malecki is 
horrible and Harry is crazy throwing in Carl who should not be read.

All of this is surpose to have something to do with how Carol sees a Marxist 
list. He sounds more like Billy Grahm or and other fundementalist preacher. 
Big on morals on the outside completely empty on the inside. And absolutely 
unpolitical
in his ravings..

It is very seldom my replies are so unpolitical. But what can one do when 
people like Carol say absolutely nothing throw in a couple of 
Marxist-Stalinists-Trotskyist-
words connected to I know nothing about the issue and goes on to babble 
about pampers..The only serious political message is people on this list 
should either delete some people and don't read. How quaint Carol. Get a 
life will you...

And Jefferson village actually let this character take over the M-F list as 
moderater.That is unbelievable!
