HRC's Dodge

Here's what they are telling emailers who complain about their lack of transparency:

Unfortunately, despite Sullivan’s promises to run our responses in their entirety, he instead edited what we wrote. So when we chose to respond, Sullivan did not post our actual responses on his blog. Instead, he has only used our attempts to engage him in productive dialogue as ammunition to further fuel his attacks on HRC.

This is a dodge. I published everything relevant but some throat-clearing from their first email, and subsequently even published the first two banal paragraphs, because they complained. I have provided their own explanation of their "membership" numbers; have linked to criticism, and wider coverage in the gay press. Their insinuation that I haven't fully aired their response is unfair. On every substantive question, I have given them ample space to respond. But let's put this behind us, shall we? I hereby publicly pledge to publish every word they send me without any commentary from me in response to the five simple questions I publicly asked here. As a blogger, I am publicly accountable for living up to such a pledge. Why won't an organization dedicated to transparency take up the offer?
