Barkley, it is entirely possible that you have irritated Doug in some manner. You know and I know that you can be a little irritating from time to time. You should cultivate a bland and unctuous personality like mine.
These new lists that Doug and I have set up cost money out of our pockets, as opposed to the mere time demands that the Spoons Marxism lists or PEN-L put on their moderators. Interestingly enough, I am a bit more permissive on the new marxism list than people might have expected beforehand. I just don't want the Bolshevique League of New Jersey "intervening" but anything else goes. I doubt if political differences have anything to do with Doug's advice to you, since James "Cato" Heartfield has been going like gangbusters. Which leads to a key question. Whatever else you want to say about Heartfield, at least he is a good writer and brainy.
