Steven-
<<If you had bothered to read my post, you would know that I made no suggestion of racism.>>
That's simply not true, Steven. In your post 8997 you said:
<<If such copying of files is standard practice among scientists, as Lee claims (and I do not find the claim incredible), why was Lee singled out? In the absence of any supporting evidence, the obvious answer to both questions is racism.>>
I can appreciate that you did not directly make the claim that Dr. Lee's problems were the result of racism. I do think you offered it as a strong possibility, and that my claim that you "suggested" it is not in error. To me, you seemed to ignore the possibility that authorities had supporting evidence on the matter, but, possibly because they don't want to try Lee in the press, they have not gone public with this information.
Perhaps you should have read your post before you issued a snippy denial of my claim ("If you had bothered to read my post ...").

P.S. Again, from your post 8997: << Now that the case has become a public issue, the government has little choice between releasing supporting evidence and appearing to be a bunch of racist thugs.>>
No suggestion of racism, huh? But no, sir, prosecutors do not have an obligation to release evidence of criminal investigations- when no charges have been even been filed- simply to avoid appearing as "racist thugs" in your eyes. Consider the notion that they might be even be wise not to release information about investigations before a trial. You might yourself some someday appreciate that consideration. |
