Subject: Re: M-TH: A call for a moderated list


(1) m-th and m-int *are* both moderated lists. In fact, the _only_
unmoderated Spoons marxism list is m-gen. 

(2) The moderators haven't always made the best decisions, IMHO, but they
should be praised for their tireless, unpaid, and thankless efforts.

(3) On m-th, Chris B and Jukka are both doing a very good job. If there
has been a shortage of postings, that is not their fault. It is the fault
of the entire list.

(4) On m-int, Zeynep deserves a lot of credit for taking principled stands
and for refusing to be bullied by the cyber-clique who viewed that list as
their own private playground. She has, IMHO, enforced the list rules
fairly (even though I don't support _all_ of her decisions).

(5) The _only_ reason this issue is coming-up now is that a small centrist
clique on m-int has become political isolated and desperate and is
attempting to destroy what they can not control.

(6) Things have been getting _better_ on the Spoons lists -- with a few
exceptions. Let's let the moderators moderate and let the losers admit
that they have lost.

Jerry
