Sanetters!
I am concerned about the look warm objection to Ms Wiggert's sudden "departure"
Is this because i)the freedom to speak has "nothing to do with sustainable agr-
ii)Ms Wiggert- a mere graduate student dared speak of prominent, well respected
researchers and so she got what she deserved, or iii) She was expressing false
views anyway?
Unless we speak up and protest when one of us is not allowed to speak, we are
all guilty of censorship and we are also not free from it. Next time we speak
we had better watch what we say because we all have a boss somewhere. This net
work should take a stand against a threat that undermines its very essence.
