Ken, et al.

I, too, found this editorial to be "objectionable" (for lack of a
better word) and agree whole-heartedly with your assessment. I wrote a
response, "To Communicate or To Intimidate: Is this a Question?", in
my editorial column of the News of the Lepidopterists' Society. For
those non-members reading this (why are you still a non-member?) I'll
put a copy of it up on the NEWS website, look under contents of Vol.
40(4), at http://www.esb.utexas.edu/philjs/News/news.html
