I will not respond to anonymous critics

Dear Editor,
I refer to a letter captioned “Mr Kissoon must ensure he checks his facts” (08.04.21) by someone who signs his name as Anand Persaud. I believe if there is anything a decent human should hate in life, it is a fictitious writer who attacks real people with real names and real addresses.

It is a most sickening, depraved, uncivilized aspect of life. I will not reply to Anand Persaud unless he allows me to have the same knowledge of him that he has of me. He knows I write for the Kaieteur News. He knows I teach at UG. He knows which country I live in. He knows my name is real. I will ask you to let Persaud verify his existence. If he cannot, then his missives should be kept unopened.
