Well, had he been libeling them before or after the decision to disinvite him?
This is what is truly confusing to me. What was the content of Lerner's criticisms of ANSWER _before_ his consideration as a speaker on F16? His interview with the NYT happened when, exactly? And, if anyone has that interview/article, I'd like to read it. Some of the forwards to the list haven't been clear on timeline issues.
