Another idiot heard from. You've made not a peep after more than a week of people calling other posters social fascists or claiming that they were lunatics who would have been happy to let Hitler overrun Europe. You were silent as it was suggested that facsism needed to be installed in Southern Europe. All of these comments were made seriously. But when someone else designs an inverse comment to show how stupid such facist baiting is *and* points out that the designed statement is false, then you clear your throat and stomp your little foot? And of course, you snip the disclaimer to the comment, because you're so full of moral outrage you lose control of your posting software, is that it? And people wonder why the Left has nothing to say to the general public.
As far as this being a good list, perhaps it was. I've been on for about a month and posting for about two weeks, and have found it to be BELOW the level of USENET in analysis, in the good faith the posters have in one another, and in the intelligence of the net.cops who want to waggle fingers at posters for doing things 1/3 or 1/10 as bad as what passes for normal discourse on this list.
Don't sweat it, WK, I'm unsubbing. A handful of blown-up graduate students and patchouli-oil drenched apologists for a NATO war isn't something I need in my mailbox. If I wanted that, I'd subscribe to a list that doesn't describe itself as left wing.

In three years, when the troops have been in Albania for a while, I hope you look back at this and realize you were having your little daily shit fit about the wrong thing. Of course, you won't, if you were bright enough to do that, you'd be bright enough to attack the people actually smearing other posters with the "fascist" label, and not those who are against such smears.
