Passfan: I do not know anything about Mr. Fertig so I can’t say anything. I can say that any institution of higher learning, in such a case, would quote Voltaire: “I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it”.
Health: You’re missing my point. No one viewed it as any sort of Bizayon because no one cared. It was the same as any other random blogger or nutcase saying silly things. No one gave the Beacon any relevance, therefore no one viewed anything they said as having any effect (positive or negative) on anyone.
