Ezra Dodges Debate

John Gordon Miller teaches journalism at Ryerson. He has been an on-and-off participant in the Canadian blogosphere's great Speechy War for the past year or so. Most recently, he has confirmed what most of us have always suspected...that the "sources" behind Mark Steyn's most inflammatory claims re Islam and its practices are either far right blogs, discredited, or entirely non-existent.

Recently, John Miller challenged Ezra to an e-mail debate on the J-source website, the topic being "freedom of speech vs. responsibility ". Ezra's response has been, naturally, to smear the professor and dodge debate. I suppose for the Ez, it is easier to hide behind the small army of sycophants that cluster around his blog than to actually have to make and defend arguments in a 3rd party forum.


So lets be clear about what's going on here, Ezra. This chicken's for you.
