I'm not demanding perfection. His statement was odd, and deserving of criticism. Dittemore seems like an intelligent man, and above average in many ways, and this is probably the toughest week of his life, so I can recognize the good things about him, too.
I do notice that just about everyone on your side of the issue resorts to personal attack. I'll leave it at that.
If it were only one or two folks attacking you, I wouldn't be concerned, but the fact that so many resort "to personal attack" might indicate that you might...just might...have posted something exceptionally offensive.
You might just want to consider that aspect. Just a suggestion...not a "personal attack".
