2 things.

To repeat myself, just about everything that Walter ever posted here can 
be read on the Greenleft and Cubanews mailing lists:

1. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/GreenLeft_discussion/messages

2. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/cubanews/

So this is not a case of gagging somebody.

The other thing is that posting some item pointing out that Obama has 
done something positive is not grounds for being unsubbed. Walter was 
unsubbed because it was clear to me that he was adopting the same kind 
of bullheaded interventionism he used to use to back the ANC, Lula and 
Sinn Fein on behalf of Obama. Even the tone was the same: Obamaphobes, 
etc. It was the same kind of language he used in the past: 
perfectionists, etc.

As has already been pointed out, being unsubbed from Marxmail is not a 
permanent condition. Just about everybody returns who has a serious 
commitment to our agenda. If, however, you want to use the list as a way 
to stir up controversies that go on ad infinitum, there are other places 
more suited to that, like alt.politics.socialism.trotsky. Contact me 
privately if you want information about other forums where food-fights 
are encouraged.
