Indeed, Greg.
I've made the very same point in more than one situation here and, a few years ago, on the EF, where I outed the entity calling itself "Colby."
What I lament is not the expenditure of bandwidth, but rather the failure of many of our most gifted and dedicated and experienced comrades to recognize the enemy when it is at our gates.
If I may, and for what it's worth to you, I want to express how buoyed I am by the knowledge that you are in the expose-the-bastards foxhole with Jan, Magda, Dawn, our mutual friend and DPF co-founder David Guyatt, Jack White, and notable others (my late friend George Michael Evica among them). I never had the pleasure of meeting Rich, but my sense is that he would have been with us. So too Harold Weisberg and Penn Jones. Perhaps they're still around.
If this were an Academy Awards ceremony, I'd now apologize to all those I've failed to mention.

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless. All you can do is control them or eliminate them. Innocence is a kind of insanity.
