I really have to say that if this goes on any longer I'm gonna have to drop off 
this list. 
 
For what it's worth, while I think it's regrettable that Ajit has left, I didn't 
observe anything in Xxxxxx's posts that crossed the line into unacceptable 
incivility, certainly nothing that merits suspension. I look forward to his 
return. 
 
But I really don't want to hear any more about this business, which has now 
become tedious. People have had their say; it is clear that there will not be a 
meeting of the minds, and that further discussion will resolve nothing. The 
choice is to leave it alone and return to serious discussion of political 
economy topics, or to watch a pissing contest play itself out. If the latter 
route is taken I'm outta here--I just don't have time for it.

    Okay, say I accept that.

    "Let us be clear, Dogan:  have I EVER -- either on-list or off-list --
    threatened you with suspension or even hinted at that?"
    
    
    Is the matter just me? We all as sort of Marxian scholars try to learn from 
one another. 
    
    At least among us there should be some kind of ethical rules, some sense of 
justice.
    
    This is what I miss on this list.
