OK so you had the posts, so you did know that you had threatened to intercept my posts! You hadn't forgotten. You were hoping that I did not have them or would not refer to them since they were offlist. That is why you thought you could get away with accusing me of purveying falsehoods. I hope the list sees how you operate. Dishonest. That should be clear. I said that if anyone should be silenced (if not booted), that should be Paul Z for insinuating that I am a fascist Trotskyist agent of imperialism. Paul denied that is what he insinuated, but then never did clarify what he meant to imply. We should be able to have a debate without the Stalinist methods of character assasination, don't you agree? Well there are those on this list who don't agree. I know that. You then said that Paul Z had only insinuated that I was a supporter of imperialism, and this was after I had forwarded a article on how Chavez had treated imperialist capital in downstream operations with kid gloves! I said your interpretation made no sense since I had also defended Chavez's use of force to suppress a right wing coup. You then broke off the discussion, and promised to get back to me about my complaint about mis use of your power as list despot to silence me. You never did. But you did tell the list that I am lying about your threat to intercept my posts. Really, Levy, give it up.
