On 12/19/2003, Doug Wilson wrote to UI President Michael & Provost =
Pitcher:
"There are at least four factual errors in the first paragraph . . . "
=20
On 1/22/2004, Rose Huskey asks:
"And by the way, Doug (or fellow travelers), where are the four factual
errors in the first paragraph?"
=20
I second Ms. Huskey's request for elucidation of what the (at least) =
four
factual errors in the first paragraph are.
=20
For those who've not read Quinlan's and Ramsey's examination, this is =
the
first paragraph:
""[W]ith the use of the word nigger, it is important for us to remember =
the
mutable nature
of human language. What today constitutes a gross insult did not have =
the
same
connotations a century ago."1 So conclude Douglas Wilson and Steve =
Wilkins
in Southern
Slavery, As It Was, a short "monograph" of thirty-nine pages that =
defends
racial
slavery and claims its abolition is the primary cause of "abortion,
feminism, and sodomy"
in today's society. According to Wilson and Wilkins, "the remedy which =
has
been applied" - that is, emancipation - "has been far worse than the =
disease
ever was."2
http://www.webs.uidaho.edu/diversity/pdf%20files/wilson%20and%20wilkins.p=
df
=20
By my count, the paragraph is about 97 words in length, with about 53 of
those words being direct Wilson/Wilkins quotes. That leaves 44 words, =
in
which 11 are names (including book title).
=20
So, I'd really like to know how Quinlan & Ramsey managed to come up with =
4
factual errors using just 33 words.
=20
OK, OK, I understand that may be a simplistic way of looking at Wilson's
claim, but I *do* want to know exactly *what* the four supposed factual
errors are.
=20
Remember, just because Wilson says something doesn't make it Truth. If =
he's
going to allege factual inaccuracies, he needs present the facts to back =
up
his allegation.
=20
I'm not gonna hold my breath, though. The person most able to answer =
the
question apparently took his toys and went home, and his sheep left =
behind
either keep announcing that they are leaving, or they don't seem to want =
to
answer direct questions, or they are too busy playing with their =
pathetic
little Penguin Web site . Or else they seem to want to twist words and =
make
unilateral decisions (perhaps in response to the puppet master's string
pulling) that those asking questions don't really want to hear the =
answers.
=20
Heck -- Mike Lawyer tells us he can answer my questions about the =
notorious
racist R. L. Dabney and the Wilson cult et al's continuing reliance on =
the
words of a renowned racist, but Mr. Lawyer apparently thinks he's been
inside my head (not sure how he could fit, but . . . ) and determined =
for me
that I don't really want to know the answers. I tried to correct his
mistake, but I guess he still thinks he knows me better than I know =
myself
because he's *still* not answered the questions.
=20
When the going gets tough, the tough get going . . . or try =
(unsuccessfully)
to play the Evasion Game.

The companion piece to the letter to the governor is below. It came to =
my
attention through the kind offer of a friend. The subject line of this
email could have read "Hell hath no fury like an academically humiliated
Doug." Yikes!!! And by the way, Doug (or fellow travelers), where are =
the
four factual errors in the first paragraph? =20

Subject: Diversity Office
=20
Dear President Michael and Provost Pitcher,
=20
Early this week I sent a letter to Raul Sanchez in which I told him that =
I
was grateful that he had removed the Quinlan/Ramsey piece from his web =
site.
At the same time, my letter went on to ask for an apology for its =
appearance
in the first place. The only response I have noted thus far is the
reappearance of a revised version of that same essay. The revised =
version is
an improvement in the sense that the most sophomoric errors were =
removed,
but the basic incendiary problems with the essay remain.
=20
I am sure you are very busy men, and that you have better things to do =
than
put out fires that have been started by your own diversity office. But =
the
fact remains that the "fires" that are contained in the essay by Quinlan =
and
Ramsey fall into two categories as far as the University of Idaho is
concerned -- embarrassing and dangerous. This means that they really =
must be
dealt with, and I am sorry that I am the one who has to ask you to do =
it.
=20
The embarrassing part is easy enough to ascertain. There are at least =
four
factual errors in the first paragraph, and the rest of the essay =
continues
the tradition. Drs. Quinlan and Ramsey make much of the fact that they =
are
professional historians, but the demonstrable fact remains that they are
extremely sloppy professional historians. I would rather have no =
adversaries
at the University of Idaho at all, but if I must, I appreciate the fact =
that
their scholarship is of this caliber. I want this controversy to die. =
But if
it does not, I am extremely grateful that it is being waged against me =
like
this.
=20
The dangerous part is of greater concern to you, and involves the =
current
overall situation at the University of Idaho. That concern is financial =
and
political, not legal. Please note that this letter is not threatening a =
suit
for defamation. I have better things to do. But it is to let you know =
that I
have been counseled to consider it, and that the slanderous =
Quinlan/Ramsey
piece does bring the phrase "reckless disregard for the truth" to mind. =
The
central point is to let you know that if the facts of this particular
controversy were to find their way into the hands of those who are =
looking
for ways to hammer the University of Idaho, it would be very difficult =
for
the UI to defend itself. In short, the University of Idaho has enough
trouble going right now without your diversity office generating more of =
it
for you.
=20
I am a graduate of the UI, as is my wife. I have no desire whatever to =
be
involved in a controversy with the university. I regret the current =
problems
the UI is going through. That is why it astounds me that your diversity
office has chosen to start picking new fights.
=20
The Quinlan/Ramsey essay is slanderous, defamatory, inaccurate, sloppy, =
and,
to the point of your concern, unnecessary. I am therefore asking you to =
see
to it the Quinlan/Ramsey piece is pulled from the diversity office web =
site,
and an apology put in its place. I appreciate your consideration of this
request. I would be happy to meet with you in person to discuss this =
further
if you would wish.
=20
Sincerely,
=20
Douglas Wilson
=20
The actual refutation of Doug's little book can be found on the "Not on =
the
Palouse" website, created and maintained by Tom Hansen. Hint: You won't
recognize it from the description in this email..but I guess that's not
surprising considering Doug's lack of training in history and multiple
thinking errors.
