jbe-
Well-knowing Alex's tenacity-I started pulling out reference books. I have the third edition of Fowler also, and on page 848 under 3A(legitimate uses), they use this example:
I could not be close to anyone who I thought was rejected by God.

My Harbrace's says:
Pronoun before 'I think, he says and so on':
When one of these expressions comes between the pronoun and its verb, take special care not to use the wrong case.
Gene is a man who we know is honest.

Yawn! I feel as if I should put my hair in a bun and wear bifocals! Why do I love this stuff? Is it an illness? A mutant gene?
