Mason's question about Cooke, and a response

[JohnBond]

This is lifted from another thread, to which it was not germane. Also it was kind of buried, and Mase's question is valid, and deserves response.

Hi John:

Let's get back to the important issue. Roy Cooke has endorsed someone who has called virtually everyone with any name recognition a cheater. As one friend of mine put it to me in private, calling everyone a cheater is similar to the tactics of Senator Joe McCarthy when he called almost everyone a communist.

Cooke has certainly damaged himself by making this post. But, in my opinion, he can minimize the damge by withdrawing from his statement. However, the longer he waits to withdraw, the larger the damage.

Since you're his pal, the best thing you can do, again in my opinion, is to convince Cooke to take his medicine and post a retraction.

Best wishes,
Mason
