"The author really doesn’t matter much. We are discussing the information contained in the article. Catholics tell us all the time that even though a priest is a pediphile the Eucharist is still pure. The excoriate the author or a site rather than discuss the information. What hypocrisy."

On the contrary, the credibility of a writer (like that of a witness giving testimony at a trial) is of the utmost importance to discerning and discriminating readers!

For example, if the non-stop liar President B-O wrote a book or article about anything, would you even bother reading it, knowing his zero crediblity? If you ran into a foreigner who was unfamiliar with B-O's penchent for spouting non-stop heinous lies, sinister prevarications, and error-filled blather, do you think it would be a good idea to warn that foreigner about B-O's habit of telling an endless stream of lies, or do you think it would be better to keep that foreigner totally ignorant and in the dark about that falsehood-spouting B-O?

Only a fool would read a book or an article by a non-stop liar and error-spouter like President B-O and think they were somehow getting the truth.

As far as "excoriating the author", all I did was point out the truth about her. It just seemed like "excoriation" to you for some reason - you should really ask yourself why that is so.

(By the way - a true example of "hypocrisy" would be a poster who "excoriates" another poster for merely posting the truth about something, and then cynically calls that truth "excoriation".)
