Update
In response to my comment that pretending the scholar who allegedly had a mental breakdown did not exist was distasteful, Philip Yeo, to his credit, has revealed the facts of the case in the comments on Aaron Ng’s blog.
Another significant, positive, development: The offending remarks on Acidflask’s old blog have also finally been pinpointed. Perhaps, despite the vulgarities that were flying about on e pur si muove, this was not an entirely futile exercise in communicating with a government figure.
