		C. Godena et al,



	I would like to immediately object to any calls for C. Proyect's
removal from the list.  It is totally inappropriate, unwise and
unjustified.  Lou Proyect creates more conversation on this list than
anyone.  He sticks to the post limits (more than I do, certainly) and his
his verbal abuse, while it can strain the limits of rationality, is
intelligent, amusing and heart-felt.  It rarely goes over the line of
decency.  In fact, his opinionated style makes people *more* likely to
engage in reasoned debate when they rush to challenge him.  The fact that
he occasionally goes over the line, and the fact that he has taken to
cross-posting are the only material breaches of list etiquette and these
are small issues.  If anyone has cause to complain about Proyect's abuse,
I do, and I reject the notion that he be removed out of hand.  



	If the time leftists have wasted splintering and purging could be
reclaimed, the revolution might well be at hand.  Calm down and grow up, one
and all.  





	peace
