I appreciate your sincerity, but, having read your draft letter, I believe
you are profoundly wrong and are misusing this facility.
Were you instead to initiate an open discussion or debate among academic
colleagues or to take a poll of all on these and related mail bases, such
an initiative would be legitimate, no matter who polemically you stated
your fixed opinion. As it stands, your approach is biased, tendentious and
an inappropriate use of a valuable academic facility.
My vote is against your letter and, instead of using our communal academic
facility to solicit partisan political support, I trust you will encourage
others who disagree with you to register their votes as well.
