Re: paleonet Who is Granier

["Edward Hennessey" <edwardhennessey@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Please have my apologies for any untoward continuation of this matter on the list.
However, this is expressly the kind of issue which appears to merit just forbearance. I do
not know Mr. Granier except by the virtue of his works, among which the capital stupidity
of fraud is to my mind unattested. Neither is Mr. Canu of my acquaintance nor, apparently,
is he known to anyone else on the list. The vehement charges levied against Bruno Granier
have somehow failed to arrive complete with the backing of corroborating exhibits made
readily available for assessment by this audience. If these evidences so vitalize the
allegations slung, wouldn't a diligent accuser take the time to openly present them?
Moreover, it must be observed that Mr. Canu's latest inflammatory accusations against Mr.
Granier promiscuously follow on similarly unsubstantiated charges against another party.
Is there anyone who would find it welcome or fair to be next in turn for similar
attention?

If Mr. Canu's remarks are not to be esteemed insidious in nature, then all signs against
that must be deliberately ignored: an apparently false name, a fictitious university
affiliation, a litany of aliases or parties posting from the same email address. In sum,
we have a masked man further reliant on nameless colleagues in Senegal, Angola and the
Congo screaming "fraud" at Mr. Granier who just so happens to be be preparing a paper
exposing an academic fraud. It wouldn't be a great leap for a detective
to make a list of prospects with an unhealthy animus to pursue in this matter. Someone
once said "The best disinfectant is light". All these odious accusations against Mr.
Granier
seem to come from the dark. That says it for me.
