  Mr., Gupta may feel, but I do not know, and do not need to know,
that on many other issues Mr. Pisanty is in line with Mr. Gupta's
positions.  One issue does not usually make for a decision as to whom
any individual may endorse a particular candidate for any office or
position.

  Yes, a request is certainly acceptable however intrusive it may be.
But a demand for a response is not...

  I believe that Mr. Gupta has already done so..

  He may very well be inconsistent on ONE issue as to his endorsement of
Mr. Pisanty.  However that in no way justifies or qualifies him as being
generally inconsistent as the context of your remark, Joanna indicates.
Hence committing the logical fallacy of "Glittering Generalities" is
inconsistent with proper logic..
