Dear Editor,
Please permit me to comment on a letter by Mr Ruel Johnson (SN January 6, 2016: `It is good to show we are capable of clemency but first we must show we can deliver justice’.)
That letter was partly in response to a letter by me in Stabroek News January 5, 2016 `Treatment of Sattaur by persons from the GRA is not acceptable’.
My letter addressing four main points spoke for itself. I believe therefore that Mr. Johnson was engaging in the classic straw man fallacy of creating, in order to refute, a point not made in my letter.
I will not pursue any further correspondence or argumentation on this matter.
Yours faithfully,
Christopher Ram
