Fwd: BOUNCE lbo-talk at lists.panix.com: Non-member submission from [jsegal at pop.mindspring.com (Jacob Segal)]

[Doug Henwood]

[Bounced for an address oddity. The LBO list has no official position 
on the Marxism list. Louis Proyect has a history of trying to 
sabotage reputations and careers, from calling up people's bosses to 
complain about their net behavior to forwarding what he considers 
objectionable emails to potential employers. He also has a habit of 
posting nasty and often wildly inaccurate attacks on admirable people 
he doesn't like, doesn't understand, and/or hasn't read, e.g. James 
O'Connor, David Harvey, Adolph Reed, and William Cronon.]

Hello,

Might someone ask who is this "Louis Proyect"?  Why is he a "fucking
asshole" besides the possiblity he is spending Alexander Cockburn lbo
messages?  I know from prior posts he runs a Marxism-list.  Does the LBO
list hate the Marxism list?

I don't mind hating him; I just would like to know why.
