McWhorter gave an interview with Behe, it was posted on bloggingheads. In it McWhorter revealed he'd read Behe's books, was fascinated by them, had talked about them to other people, and McWhorter was visibly very enthused by the subject and it was a very friendly interview. Then w/i hours of the posting, the video was pulled with this statement appearing: John MCWHORTER feels, with regret, that this interview represents neither himself, Professor Behe, nor Bloggingheads usefully, takes full responsibility for same, and has asked that it be taken down from the site. He apologizes to all who found its airing objectionable. ..... blog.beliefnet.com Message 25900729 That is Stalinist style intimidation, whether or not anyone literally held a gun to his head.
