Referring to the thread "More Misleading Coverage of Utah HB 170 Defeat," I'd like to thank the various posters there for their warm words about me and about "Brains." When I wrote Brains e-cigs were barely on the horizon, but if I do a re-write someday they'll certainly be included!
As for Bill Godshall's posting stating that, "Michael McFadden is a right to smoke extremist who has slandered and defamed every public health advocate who has ever worked to reduce cigarette smoking." I'd like to ask Mr. Godshall to point out some of my slanders and defamations of Dr. Michael Siegel of TobaccoAnalysis.com or Dr. Elizabeth Whelan of ACSH? Both of them have long and respected histories of working to reduce cigarette smoking, and I have long had excellent relationships and public communications with both of them. I've also developed and maintained quite a cordial relationship with Martin Pion of Missouri GASP despite our deep disagreement on a number of very fundamental issues on his blog. I strongly doubt that he feels I slander and defame him. Can you point out those slanders and defamations Bill? If not, then one might accuse you of slander and defamation yourself you realize....
