Hi Emma,

We did not 'tell any proportion of our readership that it did not exist.'
We reported the opinions of one person. That is what newspapers do. We
also reported the views of someone else who disagreed with him and quoted
George melly as a well-known example of a bisexual - again, hardly a
denial that bisexuals exist. We suspect that our readers have enough
intelligence to make up their own minds on such issues.

regards

Kieran Meeke

Thinking on this over lunch - write back complaining that he did not address the issues you raised, and was rude/flippant to boot and copy in his editor.

That's what makes ME angry, even more so than the article. The article is tosh, but it's tosh representative of what a certain strand of scientists think. Scientists have a right to uphold certain opinions that are tosh. This is sort of the basis of science. It sucks, and I'd like to kick them, but the real damage is done not by scientists but idiot journalists.

But that guy had NO RIGHT to be rude or flippant to you, and he was BOTH. COPY HIS EDITOR. I will write from work tomorrow. *nods*
