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.
