My thanks to all those who have supported me in my attempt to clear my name after severe misrepresentation. But it is interesting that this support only came when I specifically asked for it. Those who support reason, truth and fairness in argument might ask themselves why it is that, in such cases, the best 'lack all conviction' while the worst 'are full of passionate intensity' and so dominate the web with their views.
I shouldn't have had to ask, and the next time you see someone in trouble for telling the truth, whoever it is, I beg you to take his or her side openly and publicly. There is no such thing as a 'silent majority'. If it is silent it is not a majority, but a nonentity. And a view which is seldom expressed and widely attacked will pretty quickly become a minority.
