I am not sure that my memory is correct in this:

Henry forwarded to this list a discussion from another list.  We had
already been through this material.  I think that Brad is wrong.  He
takes unreliable sources and uses them uncritically.  Clinton is very
bad, but I would not use the Clinton Chronicles to make my case.

This forwarded post was guaranteed flame bait.  Brad had already made
his charges public on pen-l.  I was glad to see it recede into the past,
since Brad has a great deal to contribute in other matters.  I
personally invited him to join the list.

>From here, if we continue the debate [I would rather see it die], let us
concentrate on what Mao did rather than on what Brad or Henry says.

I also appreciated that Brad reacted to his extreme-right wing [or
whatever it was] with humor rather than taking it too personally.  That
sort of behavior helps to douse flames.
