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 --- from list marxism-international-AT-lists.village.virginia.edu ---
