Re: Anti-Quackwatch "Defamation" Litigation ROARS Forward...

John if you recall my response, I wrote that there is nothing special about QW trying to silence critics and that it is common place with organizations, religions, companies and individuals be the on the alternative or mainstream side.   They have all done it.  I also then as now, expressed my opposition to such actions.   I certainly agree with you that QW should halt their attempts stifling free speech and learn to live with the insults that come their way.   But character is independent of facts, so a group or organization can have unsavory qualities without it affecting the value of their message – it may just be that they express their ideas in an undesirable manner.

 As a separate issue, if we could only express our support with people or organization that held every view he have, then we could hardly be in support of anything.   I could for example offer my support to the Bush admin, I am not sure in what, but they must have something right.   Do they have a position on puppies?  And still disagree with them on nearly every issue.

 BTW how dare you suggest I regurgitate technical details, I have full understanding of what I write.   Them’s fighting words.
