I had never seen this little excerpt of
Fermentation before. In a single sentence, I count that WL makes
18 different accusations. Was he in some type of fit of rage when he spoke this? That is what it sounds like. That kind of characterization of anyone is unnecessary even if true.
Reckless devastations?
Unbridled destructions?
Unimaginable hatred? What is any of that even supposed to mean?
As you say, it's just unbelievable that WL would speak that way. I'm sure that when JI wrote his book, he was thoroughly disgusted with WL. Yet he never stooped down to the level of name-calling and throwing out wild accusations.
