[lbo-talk] SSC news

[Nathan Newman]

Then it seems bizarre that the dissenters would so clearly say, "While these
disagreements may not be political in the large sense of having to do with
big issues that arise in the world outside of the SSC, they are
disagreements about politics -- about the ethics of how people should work
together politically. "

Obviously, in this kind of job, politics wouldn't be irrelevant, but "red
purge" accusations implies a really steep level of attack beyond political
accusations.

So since you raised it, how about listing the details of what you heard
since vague implications of McCarthyism is not the best place to leave it.

Because from what I've heard, there was a history of just that.
