Just a couple of questions about the new list proposal.
Why can't a scholarly discourse take place here in the pit along with all
the other voices?  Must it be segretated too?  Isn't this part of our
failures as scholars and researchers?  When the din of the masses conflicts
with our purposes, we cloister ourselves?  Why are you afraid of *anonymous*
& masked voices? And how can one be interested in postcolonialism without
being interested in the geopolitical situation?  In my view, the researchers
and scholars (and other professionally minded people in postcolonialism-
whatever that means) have a duty to be on lists like this to temper, ignite,
orient and rectify the flows of argument.
Don't be sectarian, don't leave the chaos of the masses. Don't we work
enough in *silence*?
