...and I point out that basically no one from Democracy Watch or Post

There's lots to be critical of regarding transparency and this
government, but there is also danger in making claims that can't be
backed up or aren't based on fact. Especially after you've already been
warned about the error. It is important that as a community, we get our
facts right, otherwise, we erode our credibility.
