A False Attribution

Prof. Joe Olson has a request--if anyone comes across a "quotation" from him regarding a Scottish 18th century writer, please inform those you can that it's bogus...

Hope this helps in tracking down the spread...

Something like this could damage a man's reputation. Why do you suppose someone would want to do that?

  1. Very odd that you posted this. As I received an E-Mail today that had an attribution to Prof. Joe Olson to an entirely different piece. Know one of the other people referenced in the article, so I called to get the straight scoop. The claim in the article was false, according to his assistant. I've already let Dave, at 'Of Arms and the Law' know.

    It's probably a similar attack as the one perpetrated on John Lott. The 'anti's' are fighting nasty again. (Which means we're hurting them).
