Re: [Marxism] Moderator's note

[Art Kunkin <arthur.kunkin@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Louis,

I too have political disagreements with Walter Lippman and have personally
experienced (and survived) his sometimes unwarranted overly-sharp polemic.
However, I believe it wrong to throw him out of this community. Perhaps as
list moderator you could simply further limit his number of posts daily or
weekly without going to the extreme of entirely banning him. And thank you
for your own continued work and involvement. Sincerely, Art Kunkin (
artkunkin@xxxxxxxxx, also my website www.artkunkin.com is being activated
this weekend).
