This is a pure shocker! What did he do to deserve this? There has
been a subtle change in the culture of pen-l since Louis P. has
come on it. Even though I appreciate Louis's many postings, he is
one person who has tried to develop a 'cult' of Michael Perelman on
pen-l, and the result is becoming apparent. Pen-l is turning into a
autocratic place. Prior to this incidence, I remember, there used to
be at least some discussion among pen-l subscribers about what
to do about a person who was becoming "disruptive". Now, no
democratic pretensions are needed. In shock. ajit sinha
