The greatest gift a liberal education can give one is an ability to tolerate dissent and disagreements, to defer to better/stronger ideas of others, and to
not be disturbed by emotionally-laden personal criticisms of others when you feel, in the heart of your hearts, that what you are doing is just fine.
Besides, I strongly believe in/support and even defend the freedom of speech of all, including of those whose favorite sport is trashing Ashutosh Tiwari. Why, I myself have criticized Ashutosh Tiwari a number of times in private and in public too :-)
That said, I also believe in the long-term collective intelligence of all those who are reading this in that with the passage
of time, and with more evidence in public,
most reasonable, intelligent and good-hearted people will surely get to know what is what and which is which.
Not much to go on by saying that, to be sure. But to have faith in the innate goodness of our fellow human beings is what great works of literature, great people's biographies
and all major religions teach us all.
