Jerry, I agree with everything you say below. The accusation of racism and sexism is so much below the belt that it is simply disgusting! In my opinion, this list has several problems: one is its quality of debate. For a closed invited list of political economists (mainly Marxists) its performance has been poor. It has an array of well known intellectuals as subscribers but most of them never participate. I don't know why, but in their absence Rakesh Bhandaries of the world take over. For many years I have followed the policy of ignoring him but everytime I write on anything I could be rest assured that Rakesh Bhandari would be the first person to respond. He simply harasses you, which discourages you to participate (most of us are not full time internet players--this is the only internet list I'm on, and have decided to minimise my participation on it as well). In my opinion, if you cannot find some ways of bringing more serious minded people to contribute more on the list and Rakesh Bhandari is allowed to harass other list members and now accuse them of racism and sexism etc. Then I think the list is doomed.
