To begin with, you did not address this *specific* question. If you look at the specific post in question [4966], you will see that what Andrew has labelled a "false charge" wasn't even a "charge" at all. > Jerry: I think it's frequent your posts commenting on Andrew's give him > very little credit. In fact, sometimes I feel you think Andrew is simply a > dogmatic and not a serious researcher on Marx's work. Three responses: (1) I have stated for the record *many times* on OPE-L that I have a lot of respect for Andrew's intellectual abilities -- and, depending on the issue, sometimes agree with him; (2) I have NEVER accused Andrew of being "dogmatic" or "not a serious researcher on Marx " . Not only haven't I stated it, I haven't implied it either. IN FACT, I have on other lists -- e.g. marxism-thaxis -- defended Andrew (and Alan) PUBLICLY from such charges; (3) For the record, I wish to add that I have NEVER in this or any other forum supported the blanket accustation that has been made by some that the TSSI and its supporters are "dogmatic"; > Your comments to him > have often a dismissive tone that cannot be welcomed for a person > researching on these topics for more than 20 years and has an impressive > record of published and "unpublished" (I'm thinking how many posts has > Andrew contributed to ope-l!) writings. The tone for the most recent exchange was set, IMO (and unfortunately), by Andrew's "PUT UP OR SHUT UP" post to Fred. It was continued, or perhaps even escalated, in Andrew's post about the "evil twin" profit rate, etc. But, I note that you didn't say *anything* about the tone of Andrew's posts to Fred being "dismissive". > However controversial Andrew's > positions he has stimulated a lot the discussion on value > theory in last > years. No doubt. I have NEVER suggested otherwise. > This of course is only my personal impression but I'd > appreciate very much > if you give some consideration to it. I welcome your comments even where I don't think they are supported by an examination of the record. In solidarity, Jerry
