I'm not your comrade if you're going to question my ethics and honesty. 
I didn't see you accusing someone else (Walter, I believe) of being 
intellectually dishonest when they referenced only two of the 
statistical findings without reference to the entire study. Please 
don't pick and choose who you label "unethical and 
politically/intellectually dishonest".

My position is that Bonds probably used steroids and that criticism of 
him isn't necessarily racist. I've already stated that I think racism 
may be the prime motivator for some of Bonds' critics, but I think it's 
offensive to chalk up all criticism to racism and to accuse dissenters 
from that view of being racists or blind to racism.

There's nothing untenable about my position, and I'm certainly not going 
to back down from it simply because some "comrades" wish to browbeat me 
into accepting their opinions.
