Alan,

Go back and read what I wrote more closely. What you have written above
in no way reflects the content of my message nor does it in any way
summarise my position on the question of free speech in an academic
context or more broadly.

I can only assume that it is your own opinion, and if it is, I deplore it.

Chris
