what can be done? The answer may be nothing at all, and its possible (in
light if Jimmy's email) that there is a misunderstanding at the source of
this problem.
Having spent 3 days there working with Thomas morning to night, I think
it is almost certainly some kind of misunderstanding. Editors are very
welcome, there is no hostility to editors, and there is no
authoritarianism at all. It is actually quite funny and ironic that
this charge is being put forward, because Thomas very much takes the
opposite approach from authoritarianism.
