As per ususal there are a few people on the list who wish to keep it
to themselves. THey are not intereseted in free speech. They only
pretend to.

I seiously protest against this move. If a progressive intelectual
community will show such intolerance then future of democracy is
indeed bleak. In my opinion Karl could easily be ingaged into a debate
