I totally agree with all these sentiments. Stevan was absolutely right to refuse to post Zinath Rimana's defamatory message and having had dealings with Richard Poynder over many years, I can confirm that he is the most ethical and responsible journalist I have ever come across.

I, too, will conserve bandwidth by simply agreeing with Alma Swan in every particular in re: Zinath Rehana's offensive post, Stevan Harnad's laudable decision not to post same, and Richard Poynder's consummate professionalism.
