This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

This was often the case. Many people were defamed after the start of the 
Korean War. On the other hand, anyone who stayed in the CPU after the 
Molotov--Ribbentrop Pact could not be labeled a "premature 
anti-communist". Pete Seeger, Dalton Trumbo, and Dashiell Hammet opposed 
American support of the Allies BECAUSE Hitler had cut a deal with 
Stalin. Then they turned on a dime after Hitler's sneak-attack.

In the late 30s Trumbo bragged about squelching screenplays that painted 
the USSR in a bad light.

It's hard to find heroes among humanity.
