Thanks for your reply. I cannot decide what anyone can or cannot say. I do offer Steve QJ some content related engagement at the end of his article. See also S. Trevarthen's comments in this stream. Life is too precious and short for me to "attack" anyone, especially over free speech. Having read Mr. Coates' latest book, THE MESSAGE multiple times in order to design lesson plans around its content, I did find Ms Andrew's comments on what she refers to as Mr. Coates responding to the 'back-and-forth' in a conversation after having time to think about what he observed first-hand and wrote about winds up being much more a critique of his thinking after-the-fact and having precious little to do with THE MESSAGE and much more to do with political ideology(-ies). Ideally, a link to Ms. Andrews original comment in context would have been helpful.
