Back at you with the same sermon I have no personal problems with Porter nor did I indicate such the problems I have with him are factual historical problems related to his willingness to serve as apologist for Hanoi s and Pol Pot s regimes But the primary subject is not D Gareth Porter it s Hue If I had wanted to elaborate even further on Porter s apologies for Hanoi s regime either during the 50 s 60 s or 70 s I could have added a few thousand words but again the subject is Hue so I ve minimized discussion of D Gareth Porter per se I will be adding Wikipedia articles on D Gareth Porter and a few other apologists in the future but not within this attempt at a discussion and article concerning Hue Keep your insinuations to yourself such as my alleged personal problems with Porter it would help keep the article and discussion more factual and neutral Additionally listing Porter s references does not substantiate his claims anymore than the references listed in formal reproductions of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion substantiate the claims in that piece of sophistry So any notion that his ramblings have been substantiated simply because you ve provided his references is a claim which has yet to be proven J Michaels
