He chose to do so and we did NOT stop him from doing it. He could have rebutted Dr. Butz via the same Net, or he could have given a public lecture or he could have taken his students to lunch to discuss his views. He did not do so. This certainly did not help his situation. Everyone reading this should understand the power of the Net, to distribute patently false and misleading information rapidly and to a large audience.
People often send things when they are angry or without first cooling down.
We are going to have to learn to live with this new technology, without eliminating our basic freedoms. In case anyone has a question, I abhor Dr. Butz's views. His presence here is an affront that I have tolerated for many years. This is a falsehood and we will no longer tolerate your exaggerations and self serving misstatements. Butz we learned to live with a long time ago.
