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.
