An admirable stance, Rob. Yet your ongoing support for Innes here
rather cuts the moral high ground out from under your feet. Phil
habitually makes foul accusations, e.g. book-banning, blacklisting,
commie-sympathizing, online harassment, to name only a few. These are
smears with no basis in fact, but Phil makes them repeatedly, never
producing any evidence, never apologizing, sometimes even threatening
physical violence.

Everyone should have a right
to freely and honestly express themselves without being subjected to
continued personal attacks and reprisals.

But to complain about "personal attacks" while supporting Innes is
like bemoaning lung cancer while passing out free cigarettes.
