Subject: M-TH: Re: Jerry's claims - a word from your co-mod


Folks!

A word for newcomers first: I'm sorry you had to face this fight as an
almost first issue on thaxis! There surely are more important and more
interesting themes than this.

Jerry and Louis have done it again. As long as I've been lurking and
hanging around in this "marxism cyberspace" they've been fighting with
each other. It's like a storm. You can't tell when it comes but it
comes. And then nearly everyone's upset.

Unfortunately, this time there's more at stake than just someone's
self-esteem or whatever. Jerry's claims about Louis' acts are serious.
I'm not going into it. It's not a question concerning thaxis as such.
Louis isn't even a subscriber to thaxis. However, I think Doug has
offered us some information about the nature of Louis' acts. But as I
said, it's not a thaxis issue. Rather it belongs to administration.
(Well, I'm not sure where it really belongs..)

Same applies basically to the acts of moderators of m-int when they
punished Jerry. That reasoning stinks. But basically it's a question
of adm. It's also a question concerning the ethics of moderators and
therefore, I think, it's an issue of everyone in m-space. If you can't
trust freedom of speech on these lists, then where?

Jukka L, your co-mod.
