[lbo-talk] Toolbox squared

[Alan Rudy]

Um, you're acting like a tool, even if you're right (and I'm one who thinks
technical terms need to be used in technical discussions and differentiated
from their general, non-technical use in everyday conversations - these
distinctions matter and sloppiness on that issue is a problem - at the same
time, I have great appreciation for but limited tolerance of deep Marxology,
as _I_ imagine Marx would have, too), you're not helping yourself or your
argument with the flames.  Being right's important, passion's good, anger's
OK, name-calling's not always bad, this stuff's not helpful.
