  In case anyone is confused by this, Bill Vajk evidently means
Mark Ethan Smith. Mark Ethan Smith has nothing to do with the
Berkeley mathematics department, nothing to do with Michael
Ellis, nothing to do with "scholrly-discussion" or Harnad's
proposed group, and is a very very red herring.

  I'm not suggesting Harnad be censored, I am suggesting he is a
poor choice as censor.
