I think the word "criticism" (as a political term) is regularly misused on this list, and is being misused here. Criticism in Labor Notes is FROM THE INSIDE, while the tone of alleged criticism on this list always has the tone of external carping. It's only this morning that I finally found the word to describe that tone: Snobbery. "I am not as others are; I'm above that; I'm not part of 'That Left Out There' or 'That Union Movement Out THere.' I'm independent." Carrol <<<<<>>>>>

at risk of pulling chains (assuming any listers glance at this), maybe it's an lbo demographic thingy... mh
