Re: Side Note Beth's site is down
I'm with you on that--but part of that means (at least in the way I read it) deciding not to put up with it when someone else is being given a similar choice. When someone is getting kicked around for no particuarly good reason, one ought to say something.
Yes, I couldn't agree more. The people who get up close and personal are cowards. When even one other person speaks up and says "That's not fair, I know xxx, and he's a good person," they often back down. A third person has objectivity that the person being attacked doesn't.
Yesterday, Doc did a good job of defending me here. He said it's not uncommon for me to raise issues relative to his writing, and that we had had a multi-year disagreement over some issues.
However the most ugly charges against me remain without a response. Probably because they are so inappropriate and unfair and obviously untrue. Yet a person who is supposed to have a reputation in our industry made them, in public, on the record, here on Doc's discussion board.
