In response to Joe Lewandoski’s guest column, “Don’t ‘fall for Purser’s Hysterical, untruthful claims.‘” I know John, and although he is passionate, smart and curious, I would never consider John to be hysterical.

It’s interesting that Lewandoski’s guest column seems so defensive. It kind of makes me wonder whether we do need an independent clear thinker on the board.
