defend Irving from the barrages of the PC forces who wanted him destroyed for his views.

Ostracism and a bit of civilized put-down are more appropriate punishments.

Gosh. Someone who didn't know would assume that Irving was the Defendant- when he was in fact the Plaintiff.

One of the basic rules, which David Irving violated, for anyone who is attacked by PC forces is never ever fight back. If you do,

1. The Media attack hounds will take the opportunity to demonize you even more. If your fight was local, they will take it to the attention of the entire world.

2. You will lose. The PCs control the courts too. You will lose regardless of the merits of your case (and Irving's was pretty shaky).

3. People like Sabramerican and gcruse will take the fact that you lost as proof that they were right to besmirch your reputation in the first place.
