"apart from the other two musketeers, that is, and one of them seems to have gone awol. Difficult not to notice that both of them have remained remarkably silent, either in support or condemnation, of your forgery,"

I loathe this kind of petty "my gangs bigger than your gang" bullshit, whatever direction it comes from.

Instead of braying about how many supporters are waving your flag, how about just arguing your own personal corner, all by yourself alone?

I believe you have the clout to do that Jim.
