Should racists like Faussette be allowed on this list? I dont think so.

Dear Michael,
I am not a racist and you owe me an apology, but before you apologize,
quote for me the racist comments that I have made.
I am not here to outrage you or demonstrate my prejudices. I have quoted
scientists but not one of you in all the time I've been here ever
intelligently discussed any of the books I have suggested you read. You have simply
rejected what I've said but since I've been here I've written a book review
of david sloan wilson's work and he wrote me to discuss my review which was
lauded by the editors and irritated wilson slightly because I suggested that
he was obscuring the religious warfare I speak of, but he did admit to me
that he rewrote his chapter on Judaism many times before settling on the
final copy because I suggest his book would not have been published had
he spoken the whole truth.
Dick fischer taught me something in the last few days - I referenced
Sagg's the Babylonians, and Leo Oppenheim's Ancient Mesopotamia to find
that Dick was correct about the 'deluge' postulated but not proven to have
occurred around 2900 b.c. You see, the tigris and euphrates flood
annnually like the Nile but more destructively so it is difficult to pinpoint a
deluge amid the normal annual floods. But my point is that I went to the
book to find out what I didn't know. I didn't call Dick a name because he
thinks the flood of the Bible is based on this one and I don't. I asked him
a question and researched his claims. You simply call names. That is not
religious, it is not scientific and it is not even responsible and I suggest
that you got your courage because you saw Ted the list manager get into the
fray and thought you saw a wounded animal and went in for the easy kill.
You should be ashamed, and one day when it dawns on you what I was
trying to tell you, you will remember what you called me and how wrong you were.
Let me ask you a simple question. When the Hebrews took Canaan whether
dramatic and decisive as in Joshua or gradualist as in Judges, was it morally
right to either slaughter the indigenous inhabitants and/or set them to forced
labor?
No hard feelings - quote the racist comments I have made - argue them
like a Christian and a scientist and I will trounce you soundly but it will be
an honorable beating for you, without shameful accusations and name
calling.
You all will benefit by an airing of my arguments because you haven't come to
the realization yet. I hope it comes before it is too late for you all. If
any of you doubt me, why not write Kevin MacDonald, the evolutionary
psychologist and ask him about the things I say to you. It would be preferable to
name calling. He's a tenured professor, widely published, wrote a ground
breaking trilogy on Judaism, editor of the journal Population and
Environment, known around the world.
