rules of debate

[Michael Perelman <michael@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I do not want to call a halt to this debate.  A good number of people seem
to be interested.

But, I am worried when a discussion centers so much on personalities
rather than ideas.  Whether somebody is an academic superstar or a naive
Trotskeyist or any of the other names that have been thrown about is
irrelevant.  If Wood or Brenner or Proyect or Devine or even Perelman made
a mistake, fine, pointed it out.  Their motives, however, are irrelevant.
