Louise Walker unsubscribed shortly after replying to Jscotlive.

i thought her previous post to the list -- where she explained where she
was coming from -- was one of the best posts i have seen here:
passionate, political, socially adept, inviting, inclusive.

I am glad to see Carrol, sartesian, Tony Hartin, Ed George, and others
express solidarity with her. i am pretty angry that conditions here made
her feel compelled to leave. i think something needs to be done about
this, and about the propensity to discuss SWP, Trotsky, permanent
revolution (pacem RR), etc. on this list sans the ability to
successfully expand to include someone like Louise Walker.

as for Jscotlive, he thought it was important to share his deep
theoretical insights into the attack on marxism from bourgeois feminist
quarters AFTER the Lou apologized for the use of the "word" and asked
all to move on. can we all take 60 seconds to appreciate the
breathtaking vista Jscotlive has offered us, and then lets toss him off
this list for a while.

Louise, i salute you.
