Reader comment on item: My Disrupted Talk at UCLA
in response to reader comment: "LIAR"

Submitted by donvan (United States), May 21, 2007 at 16:03

Greta, one wonders why an intelligent, open minded and concerned student would find it in their interest to disrupt a meeting being held under the banner of a reputable university.

Two motives come to mind. Either your objective was to deny Dr Pipes his right to speak because the accuracy of his thesis is a threat to you and your agenda, or you have set yourself as the arbitur of truth,and feel you many decide what may or may not be spoken. In either case, you are in sympathy with those whose aim is to destroy the freedoms of speech,expression and press. You should reconsider your position.

I have no doubt that you have a passion for your cause, but stealing others' freedoms will not advance your cause. It will rather put you in league with the Muhammedian terrorists, and others whos goal is to deprive you what you have ineptly tried to do to Dr Pipes. One would assume any intelligent person world have enough self sespect to refrain from emotional and uncontrolled outbursts in an enviroment allegedly seeking veritas.
