Mr. Courtney -

 

Why don't you, for once, assume some negligible degree of maturity and
respond to questions respectfully?

 

Or will you simply retreat into your blog hole like all good lemmings?

 

Now, before you roll over and wake up Donovan and have him tell us about how
unkind we are to his "buddy" Dale, it wasn't Nick Gier that coined the
"Taliban" phrase of which you are reminding us.  The phrase was not aimed at
evangelicals in general, but Doug Wilson specifically.

 

The phrase was "Taliban in the Palouse" and it was coined by Mark Potok of
the Southern Poverty Law Center:

Take care, Moscow.

We could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are
dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all
exist very nicely in the same box.

I owe you an answer? I owe you an answer? 

 

Funny. I neither work for you nor am I one of your students who is in any
way in debt to you for anything. 

 

I'm not sure where you come off thinking that I owe you anything.

 

And before Mr. Logic starts twisting in the wind -- just because I choose
not to spend my time running around answering his silly writings (like
evangelicals are Talibans), doesn't mean that he is correct. I've got better
things to do with my time than try to rebuke someone whose mind is made up.
I'd rather just point everyone to his writings and allow them to blow in the
wind for themselves. 

 

Best,
Dale

Which reminds me: Courtney owes me an answer to my piece "Libertarianism and
Christianity," not the insults he has posted on his site, but right here on
V2020.  One of his Dons (either #1 or #2) claims that libertarianism is
synonymous with Christianity, which amounts to one of the most incredible
manipulation of terms that I've seen in a long time.  Stay tuned for a
posting on this subject as well.
