I think it is entirely appropriate for Monte to publicise Robert Keezer
personal broadside.
If Mr Keezer's bias is such that he can construe Mr Merrick's post as part
of a left-wing conspiracy, then that is a facet of his character that we all
should be aware of, especially in light of his recent crisis.

     I am pretty sure that if Mr Merrick was part of this community at that
time, he would have done the neighbourly thing and helped Mr Keezer out.
