Dear colleagues,

I second the words of Prof. Dominik Wujastyk, though with a small modification in a few words. (Highlighting the modified part.) 

When these discussions arise that have a political dimension, and you feel moved to write to one of the good guys with a message of support, please think about sending it publicly.  Messages of support are a very good thing, public or private.  Anything is better than nothing.  But sending such a message publicly can greatly magnify the effectiveness of the support for the individual.  It also sends a message to everyone, on this list and beyond, that there is a ground-well of kindness, of human fellow-feeling, positivity and watchfulness amongst us whether we are in majority or in minority in a certain group.  We care about each other and will support each other when attacked.  

Best wishes,
Nagaraj
