I doubt that such atomization will serve the purpose of helping us move
forward. I certainly believe that honest differences, however deep they
might be, have to be confronted. This list, which is read by many more than
it is contributed to, has been such a space, even if Louis desicions in the
past and present have been subject to controversy.

I must say that of all the responses, yours has been the most shocking and
unexpected to me.

To call, like louis did, for self-restraint and a re-establishing of the
purpose of this list is one thing. In the main, it is a positive thing,
because however we approach the question, it relies more on common sense and
an subjectivity than on a presumption to owning the truth.

To call for the further atomization, like you do, of an important space for
conversation, news and debate is certainly more negative, than positive.
