I don't know Kaufman, but know Louis for a long time as a friend and a serious and dedicated radical. All I can say, in ignorance of the details of the relationship, is that this kind of internet madness should not be tolerated. I'm sure the Nader campaign has no interest in keeping this con.flict going. They do have an interest in putting an end to it, for everyone's sake--i.e., this should not be allowed to get swept under the rug. joel Louis Proyect Marxism mailing list: http://www.marxmail.org/
