This is getting really bizarre. I think I can comprehend this new allegation
being made against me but it is so serious and divorced from reality that I
can hardly believe it is being made.
In future I'd be obliged if anybody wanting to make allegations against me
does it using my name, and with specific details.
As for the psychological warfare stuff, well it's also just too bizarre for
words. The title of my article is now apparently a sophisticated piece of
psychological manipulation??? Well, I'm flattered. I had no idea I was so
good. I think I'll apply to Alastair Campbell for a job. Apparently he needs
a bit of help at the moment.
And all that nonsense about a 'chilling effect on collaboration'??? I've
never had any trouble collaborating with any other memeticists. On the whole
it is an exceptionally friendly discipline. I've been down to Bristol and
London several times, and even though I couldn't make it over to Namur last
year or to the Cambridge meeting, I know a few people that did and by all
accounts it was very convivial.
