Very glad to hear that
Very glad to hear that Guardian have changed their mind to take the enlightened pro-knowledge path rather than the way to ignorance and corporate irresponsibility.

This kind of legal attack has been used extensively in the UK where many scientists have been sued under by way of an abuse of lax libel laws by companies and organisations trying to cover up poor practice. Individual scientists have faced bankruptcy faced with massive legal bills.

Let's all applaud Guardian for owning up to their mistake and encourage them to join us all in opposing companies who attack reasoned opinion with legal threats.

All the best, Paul

This may have actually turned into a "eyeopener" for Guardian and if they are smart, they will also learn the power of social media positive uses in the future. Way to go Allison!

Just like a GOOD politician
Just like a GOOD politician (rare as they are) Ziessler has stepped up and held his organization to account. Sincerity and good intentions will always enjoy long term reward. That previous attack was a myopic attempt at short term self-preservation. It's almost always a losing proposition.
