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
