This self pity is really getting nauseating. I am the one who labeled the discussion of differences in political temperaments and agendas "obfuscatory" and I think that still holds. I have since recognized that it is reasonable that we all out here in former Spoons land will never hear any further clarification. You were not called a "bourgeois obfuscator." Don't exaggerate. I understand that you have been on the receiving end of a lot of flaming and complaining, and it is not at all unreasonable that you are sick and tired of it. But this kind of whining really diminishes the respect that most of us have had for you all for handling these lists over the last several years. Just cool out, malgosia. You have gotten what you wanted which was to dump all these noisy, troublesome lists. It is perfectly reasonable that lots of people who were not responsible for causing you trouble are unhappy about this decision, and your utter disrespect for the lot of us is itself beneath contempt.
