>Dear Karl,

Recently comrade Proyect asked you to cease prowling around the battlements
like a Quasimodo.  I want to endorse this plea.  Speaking as someone who
regards you as one of  the most talented people on this list, I am aghast at
your recent tack.  You are now about to go on my automatic delete list.

You seem to have caught a fit of the cyber madness that is endemic to this
medium.  Please get over this obsession and get on with your theoretical
work.  I understand all too well  your reluctance to write about Ireland. I
share this in full measure, but you could perform a service here, if you
were to try and take us through the recent developments.

Or what about a posting on the Manifesto?  You wanted to start a theory
group, why not post and give over this nonsense which only demeans you and
results in a collective loss to those who wish to hear what you have to say?

This list is actually dying. I do not say  that lightly or gladly.  I once
loved being a participant. But now alas it has  dengenerated into a series
of the most disgusting and or irrelevant flame wars. And frankly, comrade
your little war is one of the worst examples of the latter.

A final plea then to give over and get back to what you do best.  Help us
all renew and advance socialist thought.


Yours in solidarity

Gary
