Motion to recess

[Lueko.Willms@xxxxxxxxxxx (Lueko Willms)]

I second Louis' "Moderator's note" in its practical consequences --
let's pause this discussion, where Laura, being new to this list,
sees herself resp. her ideas and loyalties being attacked from all
sides and can't come to rest and think it over calmly, arriving at a
calm and reasoned and seasoned reply. 

For sure, on this list, where SWP-bashing is a favorite subject, the
presence of somebody defending the SWP's positions without any
reservations must be like a provocation. 

But everybody here has his or her own peculiarites and ideosyncrasies
(as the Cubans would say). 

So let us just welcome Laura, and lay the hotly debated subjects
aside for a moment. They will come up again at their time. Our life
does not depend on their resolution within the next five minutes. 

Just to avoid that the atmosphere is being heated up more than this
summer heat already is. 

Comradely yours,
