Lou, Doug was wrong and so are you here.  Find a neutral corner and duke
it out.  Not on pen-l.

This is the second provocation from Henwood in a week. Henwood, you make
it sound like I made you crazy or something. I didn't make you crazy.
And I never abused you. I challenged your Nation Magazine/Living
Marxism/postmodernist politics and you didn't like it. Too bad. If you
aspire to be America's Zizek, you'd better get used to criticism.

Speaking from personal experience, I can say it's better for your own
mental health and that of onlookers if you just ignore him.

Just to set the record straight:  Excuse me,   Louis challenged ME directly.
Remember?  I posted first the piece about oil prices as an index to the
direction of capital. Lou took exception to my dismissal of scarcity.

I responded.
Lou responded.
I re-responded.
Lou re-re-responded
etc.

If the issue has critical impact to economic analysis, and practical
opposition, then why would anyone oppose continued exploration?

dms

Last for the day.  All further responses off-list.

David challenged Lou and Lou responded regarding oil.  First of all, please do not
challenge people directly on the list.  That way, we can avoid flaming [flaring] and
people don't find the need to go on and on with interminable challenge and response
threads.

Also, David made his case already.  Merely heaping on more of the same adds little to
the discussion.
