Unexplained behaviour of 'The Toronto Star' by removing the last paragraph...

-
... of the article published on February 4th, 2014.

"The mythology of alleged forgeries of Morrisseau’s works looms large over Canadian art, driving some, like B.C. historian John Goldi, to refute their existence. His site, The Morrisseau Hoax Exposed, gamely tries to debunk the possibility that forgeries could exist at all. He claims to be able to present “proof that the story of the Morrisseau forgeries is, in fact, nothing, if not THE GREATEST CANADIAN HOAX OF ALL TIME (sic).”

BLOG MASTER'S COMMENT: The above paragraph was suddenly, and shockingly, removed from the end of The Toronto Star's article presented in the previous post.

The person noted in the deleted paragraph, Mr. John Goldi, wants to know "why, by whose directive, and on what possible basis, the Star removed this completely innocuous paragraph, which has no libelous or defamatory content of any kind against anyone. And is merely a notice of another source of possible information." (http://bit.ly/1kXEXYw; February 5th, 2014)

I am certain the readers of this platform, as Mr. Goldi, would also want to know the reasons behind The Toronto Star's decision to edit their article "Morrisseau painting not a fake, Toronto dealer says", as they state, "for legal reasons."

Dear Spirtwalker,

I want to thank you for your continued efforts to 'unravel' ..this Morrisseau mess for the sake of ALL Morrisseau Collectors and Dealers. I am very impressed with the way you verify 'everything' you post with documentation, facts!! I would like to see Norval's lifework and legacy become one that Canadian's are proud to share, not hide their heads in doubt, wondering if they should 'show' their 'pieces', or try to resell. This 'mess' has caused many people to try to 'rid' themselves of beautiful pieces, that in fact, are probably real...but due to this craziness, are unable to enjoy . When I see these beautiful pieces going for 'nothing' on ebay.. it is a shame, and just not right! You are doing exactly as you should... presenting the facts, asking for 'feedback' and letting the information speak for itself. You seem to be the only 'blog' online that openly offers and requests readers to share information that may help to prove or disprove your posts, to date, I haven't seen any proof that what you post is incorrect ..only endorsements and support.. this speaks volumes to me! Perhaps you can ask all the 'drybrush' painting OWNERS, COLLECTORS.... to send you pics and you could perhaps start a catalogue of Drybrush paintings and along with pictures, stories, documentation, etc. Strength in Numbers!!

Thank you,

Sherry Crawford
