A Word for Conal

I am appalled by the many anti-Robbie Conal letters that have bombarded Calendar (Saturday Letters, April 13 and 20).

I don’t feel that Calendar was irresponsible in publishing the April 10 Conal article. Nor was it biased (after all, all those anti-Conal letters were printed).

Conal is an established artist and social critic. His new work is worthy news; isn’t Calendar supposed to cover important developments in the art world?

The issue is essentially one of intolerance. Conal has expressed an opinion shared by many. Those repressive letter writers have to realize that there are people who appreciate Conal’s work. What they are calling for is nothing less than censorship.
