[Vision2020] I can't do it . . .

[Joan Opyr]

Dear Visionaries:

Keely is a better woman than I am, and Phil a better man.  (You'll have 
to work out the logistics of that on your own time.)  I have tried and 
failed to compose a defense of Donovan re: Wayne's suggestion that he 
be investigated.  I agree with Keely and Phil, I really do, but each 
sentence I wrote in defense of Donovan set off my hypocrisy alarm.  I'm 
nearly deaf from it's squealing.

Here's the best that I can do: I am always and everywhere opposed to 
tortious interference with employment.  Yes, it was wrong when it 
happened to B. J. Swanson, but to compare one remark posted by Wayne 
Fox to Vision 2020 with the concerted and coordinated campaign launched 
against Ms. Swanson seems to me . . . ridiculous.  And offensive.  If 
anyone else had chimed in to agree with Wayne, or had gone so far as to 
contact Donovan's employer, or write letters to the editor attacking 
him, or launched a full-scale personal assault of the kind Ms. Swanson 
just faced down, then the analogy might make sense.  At present, it 
doesn't.  Perhaps Wayne will simply apologize for the lapse in his 
judgment; then, we can restore our collective sense of proportion and 
move on?
