I realize that Michael Perelman always lets Louis Proyect off when he gets 
abusive, but he is lying and smearing again. I have never threatened to go to 
NY to “force myself sexually on a female Marxmail subscriber”, that is a lie. 
In fact I have never threatened to go to that city at all in my entire life, 
and I will never go there if I can avoid it, either. It is not what I aspire to.

It was merely that Proyect´s Turkish wife Doctor Mine Doyran PhD thought, in 
September 2003, that she could grievously insult me and snipe with a haughty 
middleclass post, in which she showed that she knew nothing at all about the 
topic we were talking about. After all, she was married to the list owner, and 
therefore she thought she could say just anything she damn well liked. To which 
I replied in the context, “so what do you want me to do now, do you want me to 
come to NY and fuck you up the ass???”. It was a rhetorical question.

The entire American Trotskyite community just about flipped, when I said that, 
and subsequently they went ballistic with their DP moralist cant: it was 
alleged I was a rapist, I had threatened anal rape, I was a mysogynist, I hated 
women, I was anti-feminist, I was sexist, I had committed a criminal act and so 
on and so forth. All this from a safe distance. They showed me, how bigoted and 
infantile the American Left is. Probably it was unwise of me to say something 
like that, but then, the Americans are cowards, they abuse you from a safe 
distance. They shy away from combat ``on the ground.`` other than if they have 
an overwhelming advantage, and are completely protected against any risk (such 
as Louis Proyect).

I do not know, if you follow the ISN’s antics, but they are having serious 
discussions about varieties of sexual expression such as BDSM. We have those 
kinds of discussions in Europe sometimes, and we consider it quite normal. 
Caricatures occur from time to time, and we try to evaluate them for their 
reality and amusement value. It is incomprehensible to an American,  but then 
Americans don´t understand everything. They just think they do.

When Louis tries to smear me with mental illness, flaming, sexual hangups and 
the like, the reason is, that he has no good arguments in response to my post. 
If Slavoj Zizek had said it, there would have been no problem.
