Yes, he was allowed to respond. SA is not required to reprint his book to criticize it. The previous post claimed that he wasn't allowed to respond in the magazine; that claim was false.

Yes, he was allowed to respond. SA is not required to reprint his book to criticize it. Oh, come off it. SA took the extraordinary step of publishing four seperate attacks on Lomborg, all authored by people known to be hostile to Lomborg, without any balancing view. Each one of the four was far longer than the response that Lomborg was "allowed" in SA. Lomborg was clearly entitled to respond in sufficient detail to answer the voluminous critisism SA published. This was refused. When he published his full response on his own website, including the SA articles he was responding to, SA threatened a copyright lawsuit. This had the effect of not letting Lomborg respond in SA, OR ANYWHERE ELSE (how do you respond to allegations you are not allowed to repeat?) SA's behaviour was disgusting.
