Re: Aetogate: new review

[dinoboygraphics@aol.com]

This borders on pathetic; the letter from Siberling (defending Lucas 
prior to the closed-door inquiry) resorts to nothing more than ad 
hominem attacks on the accusers.  What on earth does their age or their 
employment status (especially right out of grad school) have to do with 
the events they have brought to light?  I thought it was only in 
politics where we told people "this person is far too important to be 
criticized by the likes of you".

I have tried very hard to delay any presumption of guilt in this 
situation, but the actions taken by the NMMNH and their "independent" 
reviewers have done far greater damage to my opinion of Dr. Lucas and 
the NMMNH than the accusations themselves ever could have.
