I am also weary of trashing postings. What will it take for the participants to take their debate off-line, as was requested and (I also thought) agreed to? The nature of the discussions of praxis or theory or entropy or thermodynamics demonstrate disrespect for those inside and outside of the debate.
I believe that this list has potential for promoting international cooperation in development, but a hijack seems to be in progress.
