Re: Re: nationalism/Blaut

Earlier, I was concerned about Neil's sectarian posts, but the sentiment
on the list overruled me.  Attacking Jim so soon after his death was
certainly in bad taste, showing a great deal of insensitivity.  Louis's
response to Neil, referring to him as sectarian vermin was certainly over
the top.  Under ordinary circumstances, I would probably ask him to leave
the list for a while, but given his closeness to Jim, I think we can cut
him some slack, given the circumstances.
