The more eyes that fall on this the better. The Truth is Out There.<br /><br />What impresses me most is that the comments on all those threads are so measured and reasonable. No one (or barely anyone) has accused anyone of anything, just asked questions. Which makes the legal action taken even more laughable.Rachael Dunlophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01867623861097641597noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21629015.post-41519615855047844112011-11-09T20:06:12.875+00:002011-11-09T20:06:12.875+00:00Michele - my past posts about them on this blog ha...Michele - my past posts about them on this blog have all been glowing. I've never shared my concerns here, though, as time has gone on, I've had to move from giving them the benefit of the doubt to being very anxious and reticent about being associated with them. <br /><br />The recent developments made me feel I had to come off the fence and say, very clearly, that I find their recourse to legal scare tactics in an attempt to stifle legitimate debate extremely worrying. <br /><br />I really hope they will respond to the questions that have been raised. Meanwhile, it seems that new revelations are coming in each time I check the posts.Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09600815804658702077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21629015.post-37236162208260861332011-11-09T19:57:21.246+00:002011-11-09T19:57:21.246+00:00I've been reading Claire's posts and somew...I've been reading Claire's posts and somewhere in the back of my mind I seemed to remember a past post of yours.

I am actually in the habit of steering clear of all such controversies -- I think I'm suspicious by nature and would have trouble separating the wheat from the chaff. I also try to avoid things about publishing that I know will upset me, to be honest. But I'm grateful for your précis on it all and look forward to the outcome.
