Dear All,

I personally feel (from the first moment I read the original message)
extremely uncomfortable that all this sensitive info is being discussed on
a mailing list, and we are all implicitly/explicitly being asked to pass
judgements on the scientific deeds and the quality of such deeds of a
(female) person, and to take sides. Is she a member of any of the lists
where the original email went to? How can she participate in the
discussion and get the chance to defend herself, if there is anything to
defend and if she can? I am really sorry to say this. I strongly believe
that such issues should be taken to and resolved by justice bodies/courts:
defaming someone is bad an offence as plagiarism.

Regards,
Valia
