re: #303 Charles

Everything I have posted is factual. And maybe you’ve missed it, but Spencer has been viciously attacking me at his blog, and at other blogs, for months now.

Charles, I have, FOR YEARS, had nothing but great respect for BOTH you and Robert Spencer. This latest accusation against him is the most serious/damaging by far. When it is finally resolved (only AFTER he has made a response), I fear that I will have less respect for one of you.

For what it is worth, it has seemed (to me) that the criticisms of Robert Spencer, as posted at LGF, are generally angrier than the criticisms of Charles posted at JihadWatch. It seems there is honest anger, and honest sadness, on both sides here.

While you two fight, the Islamists laugh.

I find the idea that Robert Spencer supports genocide to be VERY difficult to believe! Charles, you ultimately may, just may, come to regret this attack upon him. There MAY, however unlikely, yet be an explanation that has to do with some kind of hacking of computer accounts or something. You forget that Spencer is not nearly as knowledgeable about websites and computers as you; he may have been victimized, and now you may be all too willing to assume the worst.

I know you are an excellent judge of character, but even you may be wrong about this. Let us hear what Mr. Spencer has to say in his defense. And then… let the judgement be made!
