You've been on Marxmail for the better part of decade, just short of the 
time I spent in the Trotskyist movement. Do you think that any new ideas 
or arguments can come out of a reopening of this debate? The one thing 
I've learned from participation in Marxmail and mailing lists that 
preceded it that there is little to be gained from debating someone who 
casts doubts on your revolutionary principles. You have the exceedingly 
boorish tendency to open your email from this list each day pouring over 
the messages to see who you can "expose". As Cynthia Cochran once 
mentioned to me, when the left is weak there is a tendency for its 
adherents to look for enemies within its ranks since it is too impotent 
to register blows against the real class enemy.
