Even If Salient had the same circulation as NZ Truth, it could not expect to undo the harm Kevin Sinclair's ill-informed article has already done.
But the point which deserves to be driven home to Mr Sinclair in person, and every other person who suffers from the same delusion, is crystal clear:
The fact that one person of a particular occupation acts in a particular way tells us nothing about another person of the same occupation.
Once again, for Mr Sinclair especially:
Just because one student damages a land-lord's property, it does not follow that other students do.
If Mr Sinclair had to live in the conditions he overlooked when writing his article, he might begin to understand the people whom he was so determined to smear.—H.B.R.
