I have to reminisce about my time in college when (big surprise) I was a conservative among many liberals at a state school. For a time I wrote for the conservative newspaper on campus and I had a particular beef with one left-wing group.
At the time, I wanted to write an article addressing this group's main goals and invited their head guy for an interview. He refused. I said, okay, how about if I tell you the questions in advance to prepare? No dice. OK, then, no interview but I'll give you the questions and you can respond in print. Nope.
At the time, I couldn't understand why somebody wouldn't want to explain his main beliefs to what (at the time) was one of the biggest papers on campus. I don't wonder anymore.
