I have to agree. Unlike you, I'm not a Harris expert, but like
you, I was fooled. I went to the website [*should* have twigged
because all the links were to criticisms, but didn't], and felt
disappointed, thinking something along the lines of, "Oh, that's
a pity, I thought there was more to him than that". I think it
is really unfair to Harris [*however* maddening he is - and I do
realise that I have been spared much of the mayhem he has caused
while I haven't been reading this NG]. I don't know anything
about the law (in any jurisdiction), but making a website like
this strikes me as immoral. (I wouldn't have dared say so if
you hadn't admitted you were fooled as well! And I can take a
joke, I think, but I don't think that this is merely a case of
either you or I being peeved at having been made a fool of.)
