Doug, I think it's fair to say my opinion and indicate clearly that it *is* my opinion, that others will have other opinions. I was hoping you'd be one of them; Louis Proyect was also there. I've read a number of pieces by Nanda Meera and I stand by my opinion. Personally, I agree about the Shiva/Harding panel, also that Balibar talked too long (though I wouldn't say "gassed"). The dissenters impressed me about as much as Shiva and Harding, which is to say, not at all.
