    Fear of public discussion

    If you want to continue the discussion with me please feel free to write directly

    So says Ms. Traister to those who are critical of Broadsheet, and that's sad. It seems to me to be an attempt to keep this discussion out of the public eye, to force criticism into back channels where it can more effectively be silenced and ignored.

    Why shouldn't those of us who want to "continue the discussion" feel free to do so here and in Table Talk, Ms. Traister? Are you afraid that other people might find those arguments more compelling than your own?
