Right - and an egregious case of bullying it is, based on a distinctive 
surname. (Fred's comparison with ED is not off-beam, just missing the 
point IMO.) I'm clear that, in human terms, I have a low opinion of it. 
If our article doesn't give the data that would make it possible to come 
up with an informed opinion on Savage's campaign on that level, then it 
is failing. Too much to ask whether it could do the same on the issues 
of whether this kind of campaigning actually changes minds, or 
discredits freedom of speech, etc. These things are more interesting, 
when it comes down to it, but constraints on OR mean the article is 
really just a compilation of quotes from journalism.
