Guglielmo Libri - and the Voynich manuscript

[VViews]

Diane,

I find the subject of this post interesting, and the material you are researching is sure to be very compelling to many Voynich researchers, especially those who are interested in the later history of the manuscript.

But why you feel the need to disparage other researchers and their ethics in the process?  It really adds nothing to the research you have done or to its presentation, on the contrary.
It's like if you were giving a really interesting lecture while simultaneously flipping the bird at everyone in the audience.
It's weird and really very off-putting. 
Surely, you must understand that such aggressiveness cannot lead to a constructive discussion here, and may trigger only the worst kind of reactions, or lead to your post being ignored, which would be a shame.
Also, I don't believe that such disparaging remarks are effective at all as a deterrent against plagiarism.

Please do understand that I mean this as constructive criticism, so that the hard work you have put into this subject gets the best reception possible.
