This ominous suggestion comes from a man whose own intolerance and bullying nearly destroyed a couple of other lists, who devotes considerable effort to suppressing topics of which he disapproves, who is incapable of developing an argument without personalising it, and the only way he can defend his own particular obsession with Russia (as his recent interventions here show) is to create his own like-minded list. My suggestion to Doug is that he not allow this to be repeated here. -- Lew
