Eli wrote, "Talk about straw men! NO ONE claimed that Laura was

is that she (and the SWP) were 'bashed' and she was, in effect, driven
off the list."

Since I never said that anyone made either claim, so I can't own up to
any patrimony over these rapidly breeding straw men. There was also
nothing particularly malicious in my thinking that someone "driven off
the list" is also "excluded."

Best,
