My apology to revolutionary Trotskyists

A reader sent me this note. I hope I did not generalize about Trotskyists in my previous critique of Trotskyists groupies of the Syrian "revolution":  "Speaking of which, recently on your blog, you lamented what modern day trotskyists have become, but perhaps you used the word trotskyist too loosely. Groups claiming the Trotskyist label have split amongst themselves multiple times over history, and often hate each other.The WSWS has written sharp takedowns of other supposed Trotskyists, even just on the Syria issue."
