No problem. Apology accepted and I dare say that your reaction was appropriate given the context.
I agree that email exchanges can be vicious probably for the same reason that academic disputes can be vicious: to quote Kissinger (whom I would never quote about anything except this) "there is so little at stake."

I want to apologize to Carl. I don't remember exactly when I made this accusation against him, but it was me who did that. And it was unnecessary and unfair. I should explain the reason for my ex abrupt: At the time, I just had had a heated debate with Louis Proyect and others in this list, which got me two very nasty anonymous emails by an individual using an email account with a web domain based in Germany. When, at a point, Carl intervened (and it wasn't the same thread, but it was related), I just thought he was the person behind the anonymous emails. Did I have any base to believe this? None. I'm sincerely sorry about this incident. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
