One would think if one is going to do a blog critical of another, one would at least have the courtesy to allow that person to comment.
Apparently, however, archaeological blogger David Gill does not think so. I thus post my comments here to his following blogs:
For this one: http://lootingmatters.blogspot.com/2010/02/misleading-washington-lobbyist.html
David- Please link to posts you comment on. It is only common courtesy. See http://culturalpropertyobserver.blogspot.com/2010/02/archaelogist-fails-to-uncover-truth.html
The post should make clear that I found your press release misleading because it said nothing about the actual allegations in [the] Complaint-- which of course are the heart of any lawsuit.
I believe you had some other press releases that touch on this test case, hence the reference to "another."

David,
ACCG's Complaint speaks for itself. Look at paragraphs 45, 53,72, and 77. The reader can decide for themselves whether this suggests "behind the scenes lobbying" or not. I should also note that Ms. Herscher has previously claimed that CAARI does not "lobby" at all. http://culturalpropertyobserver.blogspot.com/2008/08/caari-vp-ellen-herscher-response-to.html
