Re: [Marxism] Personal statement

Fred says:
 
I have too many differences of opinion with the list mainstream, which I view 
as sectarian (Louis, Shane, Larry, David T, etc).
 
Larry says:
 
More "woe is me" eh Fred? Time to fire up those violins again. Like anyone is 
devastated by (or even paid attention to) your threatened defection. Really, 
why are you being so self-importantly melodramatic? It's not worthy of you.
 
I find it laughable that you characterize me as sectarian. (I'll let others 
speak for themselves.) First, I rarely post to this list. No fair-minded 
opportunity to gauge my discursive habits and ideological inclinations there. 
(But I'll put it this way: I'm definitely not coming from anything close to 
a traditional M-L perspective.) Second, for many of us who support Lou's 
decision to suspend Walter, it is WALTER'S very sectarianism that rankles us. 
We can predict well in advance what drippy, cant-ridden platitudes Walter is 
going to post here. They add nothing to debate here and only sidetrack 
discussion.
 
Now back to our regularly scheduled program... presuming this hasn't become 
just that.
