You're wasting your time and degrading the quality of the rest of the site with that "Great Secret" business. The objector is a customer, a consumer. He could have been badly treated by British Universities but there is no solution. Ultimately, they're entitled not to sell to someone they don't like, especially in the context of protecting other young people. The only protection he might have is if there were racism involved, and there wasn't. Do something useful as here. Toolbox 18:39, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Disagree on the 'Big Secret' file. It's not the best written but is a fairly accurate description of a similar Syndrome in US Universities - stray outside unwritten but well understood boundaries (like criticising Zionist Israel or questioning the official 911 narrative for example) and pace Norman Finkelstein and Stephen Jones, you are likely to find your academic career at an end. I haven't posted it because I agree with it either, rather because it is Establishment skeptic/critical and has a point. As for the Wikipedia article, I seriously doubt that table will make it to the stable version of the Assange page - and I haven't the time or the inclination to bang my head against the Wikipedia wall. --Peter P 20:33, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately, comparing Norman Finkelstein with Stephen Jones also badly degrades careful scholarly work by comparing it with conspiracy trash. While one would love to defend an academic who was sacked from the Mormon University (the same place he graduated from 30 years earlier) over his 911 troofing, his plight bears no comparison with the lifelong victimisation suffered by targets of the Zionists.
