Normally, I believe that private correspondence needs to stay private and not be shared with a list. In the case of ad hominim attacks, however, I believe authors need to have their message be known more widely. The following bit was received from Nicholas Neylon, from “Petronet”:” Save the "pure motivation" crap for someone else.  We all know that you were subtly attempting to spread your whacko "I hate America" bullshit in an inappropriate forum.”

 

I believe the rationality and balance of the argumentation speaks for itself.

Cheers, -Nicholas
