[Andreas Broeckmann]

dear jayce,

so far, this list has been an open forum for people in the arts in 
europe and beyond, to inform others about their work and discuss 
things where necessary. i see no reason why we should start censoring 
postings so long as people like simon and yourself keep a critical 
eye on what the colleagues are doing. to accuse nat muller, of all 
people, of promoting a kind of zionist apartheid is nonsense (do you 
have an idea what she has been doing in the last years? check it 
out!), though i agree that the formulations in her announcement were 
problematic - which she has acknowledged.

nevertheless i think it is more fruitful to discuss things with her 
on or off the list, rather than call for the list police to expell an 
unwanted voice.

regards,
-a
