What I
know is that there's a
difference between being harassed or "bullied," and being driven out of business or your profession. As my opinions seem not to survive, here, that's all I will say, but having been on the receiving end of the latter, I'm obviously acutely aware of it.
As far as the RWA, yes, as I've already said 2-3x, I feel that they erred BOTH times. They should have stayed out of it, firstly, but then they made mistakes in everything that they did.
As far as Davis handling it "differently," I daresay you might feel very,
very differently if you'd been publicly accused and harangued. Nobody--no matter who it is--wants to be publicly harrassed and humiliated or have someone come after their job. You say that Davis should have handled it differently, but what about Milan?
