What a relief it is to read some intelligent commentary on this fiasco.  I'm deeply concerned that someone with Bernie Farber's agenda has the ability to sway The Star to allow Kathy English to write this ridiculous attack on Antonia Zerbisias.  I'm a regular follower of her column and blog.  If anyone at The Star bothered to follow, they could have avoided this most embarassing mess.  When Zerbisias made her comment about Farber, readers who were following along - i.e. those who were still commenting at her blog SIX days after the original post - had no doubt at all what she meant.  I don't have much faith in the MSM to begin with.  Now I have less.

To say nothing of which, English's column purports to be about ethical blogging (we know that's NOT what it's really about).  You'd think she and John Cruikshank might be bothered to actually find out something about blogland before printing such a piece of abominable ignorance.  I'd stop reading The Star altogether if it weren't for the fact that I still want to read Broadsides and Zerbisias' column!

Thanks.
