[PEN-L:11162] Re: shun him!

I recently came on to this list, because I was hoping for some sort of
antidote to the one sided class war that is currently raging in this country.
The class and race divide continue to grow deeper and deeper, and we are told
by those who wield power, that the solution to this is for those who have
little,to have even less, and those who have the most to get even more!?!?
I thought that I might read some intelligent discussion on what needs to be
done to reverse the road that this country and this world seems to be headed.
Unfortunately, all I read is the same old doctrinaire slogans. Now we are even
getting censorship.
It is apparantly permissable to apologize for the crimes of the Mao's cultural
revolution, or Stalin's purges, or the Kim dynasty of North Korea, but do not
violate political correctness by offending the sensibilities of feminism.
I find the postings of Karl or Joseph, or whatever his name is to be boring,
rambling, and rather pointless. The posts of feminism were no exception.
Instead of censoring him, he could either be ignored, or just maybe, the
postings could have been used as a springboard for an intelligent discussion
regarding the strategy, tactics, and methodology of feminism. That is, do
feminists sometimes put much effort into staking out their own territory at the
expensive of progressivism in general? Such a question could also be applied to
various other interests on the left. (Minorities, gays, greens, etc.)
I suppose that I have just succeeded in becoming the next person to be banned.
It does not matter, because I am pulling out to protest the censorship of Karl.
I will leave the rest of you to pat each other on the back, and pretend that it
is still the Summer of Love.
