We'll have to agree to differ regarding the merits of the two docs. Also the fact that you were requested to write the piece for LSoH from that specific editorial perspective certainly puts a different slant on things -- though I personally would have declined to write it. I would suggest it was one of Dick's rare mis-steps (along with the Black Stocking Museum). I realise my opinion re. intrusion causes offence, but I hold to it as I feel the intrusion itself to be problematic. That so many people want to vicariously share the emotion only heightens my discomfort. Though, as I said before, this is the age of Youtube and Reality TV, and I accept that I am probably out of step with regards to concepts of privacy and dignity.

I appreciate your ability to focus on and discuss my actual points. If nothing else you've demonstrated professionalism by not descending to the hysterical tone of some of your supporters, some of whom I'm more than happy to be ignored by hereon.

I think we're done. So if you permit, let's move on.
