Dear Ken,
Being relatively new to this forum, and an avid admirer of your beautifully argued articles and the great resources you often point to, I am not perhaps as aware of the issues that you name, nor the people you have mentioned who've dared to raise dissent on these forums. I do agree with Keith that it is a serious charge to vilify members who've been on these lists for more than a decade, and to contribute to the decline of a culture that must have been, I am sure, very lively in its many discourses. I'm curious as to who these people are and what they said - perhaps you could give us some background for what these list debates were about?
As for colonialism, this is a term often thrown about in order to bring in unnecessary identity politics that don't really lead anywhere - since we are now all living in a globalized world and a more enlightened time free of the legacies of colonialism, I wouldn't pay the charges too much heed.
Best,
