COLUMNIST HOY RAISES IRE OF READERS (1 of 3)

Your columnist, Claire Hoy, would, perhaps, write a more credible
column if he avoided demonising proponents of Insite. One does not
make believeable points by demeaning one's ideological opponents.
Using terms like wingnut, ridiculous, junkies, and Neanderthals, tends
to undermine journalistic credibility, while excessive use of
sarcasm-laden quotation marked words makes the grammar Nazis in his
readership tremble with indignation and frustration.

Mr. Hoy should kindly try to make his journalistic points with proper
research and intelligent debate, and leave namecalling and
rabble-rousing to her political masters.
