But for the record,  you _restarted_ the thread on Yoshie & native issues not 
_us_.
You first opened the debate under the subject title_Giving the devil (Maki) his 
due_
, prematurely defending Maki's position to give him a due
(http://www.marxmail.org/archives/current100/msg02571.html)  As a matter of 
fact,
you ignored Jim Craven's response while effectively choosing to _perpetuate_ the
debate. Accordingly, you gave us the impression that your above _named_  post  
was a
sign of your _covered_ solidarity with Maki. That was what happened, briefly. I 
am
happy to see changing your  ideas about Maki, btw.

For the technical record, whatever Lou posted was not _repeated cross postings_ 
of
_private exchanges_ from other lists. He just posted a _web link_ . You are free
_not_ to check  Alan Maki's web site. To my knowledge, nobody told you so.

btw, it is a _policy_ to suspend cross-posting from other lists. It is_ not_ a
policy to suspend web links-- as far as I know.

Lou did not _drive Yoshie away_. She unsubed _voluntarily_. If Yoshie did not 
like
Lou's comments (which she is absolutely free _not_ to like, btw), she could 
_ignore_
him. Instead,  she chose to be demoralized and take a hint.. Face it.

What can I say in response? If one _cannot_  address the issues rationally, one 
gets
morally demagogic.  .
