[Vision2020] An Open Letter

[keely emerinemix]

Dale, your first line is an example of childishness.  How do I know?  Well, 
it's sarcastic, mean-spirited, pointless, and dumb.  My proof?  Just words 
at face value, floating in a sea of context -- context that you and I have 
plenty of, regardless of whatever either of us has gleaned from our 60 
seconds of conversation.

In other words, your continuing to harp on everything but the larger issue 
tells me the "what" -- you'd prefer to avoid discussion of the content of 
the open letter to Doug.  The "why," of course, is up for interpretation, 
and I try to make it a practice not to pronounce judgement on motives.  Just 
actions, Dale, and the fact that often what is more telling is what people 
don't say . . .

And you, for a man who says a lot on a lot of other things, don't seem to 
have a lot to say on this one.

Why your attention is directed at me in this, rather than at the letter 
writer, the letter, Doug, or whatever else appears to be motivated by your 
fascination with those lacking "balls" or "testicular fortitude," in which 
case, by focusing on me, you're truly barking up the wrong tree.

Now, time to go for my manicure.

keely, you must be taking ESP classes from Hindu guru Prof. Gier.

How do you *know* that my providing those biblical texts is avoiding the
larger issues and a lack of humility and openness?

Must be all those insights you've gleamed from our total of 60 seconds of
conversations.

I'm absolutely amazed at how much the people on this list know about people
they don't know. It's telling.

Best,
Dale

I'm well aware, Dale, of the New Testament injunctions against hearsay,
gossip, false witness, testimony, and accusations not supported by facts.
My point, and I think you know this, is that tossing out prooftexts to avoid
the larger issue, even when the texts are applicable, indicates less than a
spirit of humility and openness.
