I wonder
what response ALA is going to give to this controversy.  I worry that if
we,
as an organization, ignore her unfounded and, frankly, ignorant
comments, it
can only affect the organization and the profession.  But to give a
defensive, or condescending response would only do more harm than good.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
ALA has sent a letter, which she mocked...On Friday she stated that ALA
was interfering with the broadcast of her show...that ALA had interfered
with the technology so that she could not broadcast. (Then how could I
hear the show?)..She said something to the line of, "they believe in
their rights, but not MY right to speak out."  --a bit irrational, I
thought, to even believe that ALA COULD stop her broadcast.  While
everyone is entitled to opinions, what I find particularily offensive
are her claims that ALA had an "adgenda" to expose children to porn.
Not sure what to do about her as she is so abrasive...
