Kathy Shaidle points out the not-so-subtle evolution in Professor Miller's complaint (see below). First, he accused me of "irresponsibility" in circulating the Ayatollah's quotation. Then, he accused me of making it up. Now, he accuses me of "clearly" accepting someone else's word for it. That's the great thing about the self-appointed "Journalism Doctor": When he diagnoses you, he provides his own second opinion.
Evidently, it wasn't quite so "clear" when he wrote originally: "He gave no citation for the quote and I suspect it was made up." Now my crime is uncritically accepting Oriana Fallaci's word for it. Actually, I expressed no view on the quotation other than using it for some cheap'n'cheerful sheep-shagging gags. It's the otherwise unemployable J-school ethics bore who's chosen to make a great issue out of it, to the point where he attempted, unsuccessfully, to intervene in the British Columbia trial in order to argue that it was legitimate for the Canadian state to rule my opinions illegal. How drearily predictable that Professor Miller should be so eager to make the J-school establishment the third leg of the PC thought-police/Islamist grievance lobby axis.
