Well if Bill has some evidence on which to
base his attempt to damage the professional reputation of the CSA, please let
him bring it to the list. Or was it simply an ad hominem attack?

Questioning whether Beddington is
giving his own, honest opinion, or that of the state he serves, is perfectly
legitimate. The evidence in my view points firmly to the former. We should be
focusing on the content of the discussion, and provocative interventions can
help to do just that.

I think the suggestion that the CSA's comments were the result of havingbeen "leant on" is a pretty offensive personal smear, particularly as itis not supported by any evidence whatsoever. Perhaps the psci-com listowner could take a views on whether the message is in breach of thelist's rules? Bob Ward
