And just because your opinion matters to me - especially in issues related to the Fox community - I just want to make clear my involvement in defending Andy was in regard to his blog post re the end of VFP. I made it clear at the time I was extremely disappointed with both of them in the context of the Naomi affair. I don't know anything other than what has been published here, but if it is as portrayed it seems to me to be a series of very bad decisions on a lot of levels.

>I agree with you up to a point, including the part about us not being entitled to explanations. But we do know some of what happened. We have seen the letters Andy and Marcia sent to Naomi's employer and we know she was subsequently let go from that job. We do not know the letters were the reason for the dismissal. IMO it would take quite a belief in coincidence to think there was no connection.

>PS -- Given that John offered to discuss this further in email, I should point out that I have not heard back from him yet (he seems to come here mostly at night) and do not have any information at all that has not been posted on the UT.

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.
- Ben Franklin
Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
