I suspect that Horse is directing part of that against me. Horse
rejected my posting to the LS because I dared to use the MD "atom bomb"
discussion as an example in the LS "Soul" discussion. I was highly
offended by Horse's suggestion that I should cut out that part of my
post.

I wrote back to Horse that I didn't see why it was okay in the LS to
refer to some obscure book, but not to the MD discussion. Furthermore,
there isn't anything in the original LS charter disqualifying reference
to the othe discussion! I'm not talking here about irrelevant reference,
but relevant reference (see my post of 7th July).
I wrote back to Horse asking him to reconsider, but he didn't respond.

Horse, you moved the goalpost! If that's the way the LS is going to be
run, I don't want to play.
Thus, my reposting to the MD was absolutely deliberate.

If the idea of having 2 lists is to dissect the discussion into 2
threads with no overlap, then I regard it as a stupid idea. I opposed it
when it was first suggested, and offered several constructive
suggestions on how to keep the Lila Squad united. Indeed, I was very sad
to see the split implemented, and now I'm even sadder to see that it was
no surgical dissection but a crude hatchet job.

Sorry Horse. I appreciate all the good things that you have done for the
Lila Squad, but on this issue, I think you are responsible for very
unsatisfactory situation.

Jonathan
