The following letter was sent to West Tisbury library director Beth Kramer.
I am outraged that you have scheduled Alan Dershowitz to present his latest book at the West Tisbury Public Library. It is an insult to all the other authors, musicians and visual artists who present at the library. It is also an insult to the victims and families who have been wronged by the individuals defended by Mr. Dershowitz, the general public and citizens of West Tisbury.
While we are all flawed. Mr. Dershowitz is an amoral, unethical self-promoter. We must as individuals and as a society stand up and against individuals who are destroying our democratic, polite society.
I sincerely hope that you will reconsider.

I'm curious - did you form
Bob OBI'm curious - did you form this negative opinion of Mr. Dershowitz over the course of many years? You say that you're outraged, and accuse him of being amoral and unethical - did you feel that way 5 years ago? 3 years ago? You have used the strongest of terms in your condemnation. Have you followed the man's long and storied legal career, or is this an opinion that you have formed solely based upon his criticisms of the Mueller investigation? I share your concern about the destruction of polite society, but I sense that we may disagree on the parties bearing responsibility for its destruction.
