The above is absurd. The question/denunciation of Stalin was not initially
raised by Freemen. He kind of mentioned it tangentially in his posts on
the TPRF. The denunciation of Stalin as a murderer either directly or
indirectly actually were first made by Anthony, O'Keefe, and others - it
were they (the Trotskyists) who were fixated on this while Freemen tried
repeatedly to either avoid it or engage in a debate about it. The
moderator has simply siezed this incident to expel Freemen who was uncouth
and elegant at the same time. So be it for it is his list.

About Freemen, his use of extremely foul and gutter-level language cannot
be excused. He, while claiming that he never insulted any one's humanity,
did so in a most destructive fashion while saying that he was defending a
comrade. What is the use of all the Marxist erudition when one can descend
to this lumpen level?
