This flame is ridiculous. Jerry asked should we be silent ..... I answered, "by all means." No one is asking anybody to condone oppression. Jerry has already made his case about Louis. People on this list can either conclude that Louis is a bad person and should be shunned or that we have better things to do. I guess I was responsible for the whole thread. I said that I appreciated the contributions of Doug and Louis. I retract what I said. They are both evil. I have not asked anybody to leave the list since Malecki, but I do not want to hear any more about this. If you don't like Louis, Doug, Mark Jones or me, just delete anything that one of the evil ones post. Yes, I do want you to be silent. I am sure that Paul Z. knew what I meant when I asked for silence. Enough already!
