Rose,

In addition to being plain speaking, I think you’re just plain cranky.  Even 
throughout the past century, Quakers were still known for their deferential 
use of “thou” and “thee,” but since then the Inner Light has really dimmed, 
and we’re left with something a little more forthright, from an unfriendly 
Friend.

Maybe, though, just maybe, you can have your cake and eat it too.  You could 
have said . . .

" Wilson & Co., Thou doest appear to be an infamous, morally bankrupt, 
historically fraudulent, reprobate, racist, pseudo-intellectual, hateful, 
vain, contemptible, mendacious, specious, unjustifiable, pandering, 
shameless, segregationist, home-schooling neo-confederate, dim-witted, 
ill-bred, unsavory, brainwashed, and brain-dead Christian;

Whereas, Thine opponents, Quinlan and Ramsey, doth appear to be objective, 
thoughtful, legitimate, recognized, qualified, accredited, well-trained 
scholars and historians.

N.B.
As for my backside,
‘tis fair and wide. "

(Her adjectives, all.)

With your mastery of the good guy / bad guy narrative, you really ought to 
copy edit the Intelligence Report of the Southern Poverty Law Center!
