Hi Laurie, I don't normally read articles like this but the Medium's algorithm (which sometimes works!) brought it to my attention. So I just wanted to thank you for mentioning my work. Also I'm always happy to see what scholars have to say, whatever their politics, but the author should have mentioned that the letter in question was published in 2011 and is no longer alive! It was wrong back then but even more irrelevant to the situation on the ground now https://www.thejc.com/news/dr-denis-maceoins-letter-to-the-edinburgh-university-students-association-pf63hsy2
