Well, Ravi, perhaps I/we were too quick to rush to
judgment, but Eric's demonstrated habit of countering
qualms about what he was posting with further postings
cribbed straight from CCTV/China Daily rapidly convinced
me/us that he is an all-too-familar sort who brings more
clutter than enlightenment to "left-wing" maillists.
This sort has basically driven me off Lou's Marxmail list
b/c so much of the discourse consists of stale nostrums
(not Lou's fault!). Maybe I/we too briskly pigeonholed Eric
as one of these sorts when in fact he is merely naive
to a fault... In any event I did not post my screed
until after Eric signed off, so the issue of critical
exchange was moot at that point.
