	This will (really) be my last public statement on this
issue.

	I think it is fine to have public disagreements, debates,
even debates which go so far as to insult the intelligence of another
human being.  However, when it comes to insulting the motives or
integrity of another human being, that is another matter.  I implore
people, please, before you begin to publicly question the motives or integrity
of another, think twice.  Pause, go have a snack, stare out the window.
You may think the person is making mistakes, doing stupid things,
saying stupid things, but telling them they say or do these things
out of deliberate malice is much more damaging and serious.  I would
call for people to refrain from jumping to such conclusions or
using such language in a cavalier fashion.

	I will state that I have not yet made such a jump, and I
still respect the motives and integrity of my interlocutors.  I hope
they shall do the same for me.
