Mark,

Oh Come on. I have done it plenty myself -- but it seems to me that
if the question of the environment is as central as you (correctly I
think) argue it to be, it is too important to be lost in a mass of name
calling. As I said in a post yesterday, addressing Doug, "You piss
me off," but in the same post I retracted a personal charge, and I
think it would be worthwhile for all of us to back off a bit.

I recently subscribed to the Ezra Pound e-list -- and there is one poster
there who sends four or five long posts a day, all of which are quite
correct, each carrying in some way or other the point that "The point
is that..." and the sheer bulk of what he has to say has hidden what he
has to say.
