Wrong again, Donovan.  I have threatened no one.  I have harassed no 
one.  And intimidation?  Who?  Where?  When?  These charges are real, 
Donovan, and your making them has real consequences.  You must learn to 
distinguish between legitimate public criticism of a public figure, and 
criminal trespass, libel, intimidation and threats.  I criticize public 
figures for a living; Doug Wilson is among those public figures.  So is 
George W. Bush.  I have not harassed or threatened either.  (I believe 
that threatening the President lands one in the pokey.  You'll notice 
that I'm not in the pokey.  I'm not emailing you from the Latah County 
Jail or, worse yet, from Guantanamo Bay.)

Here's my challenge to you, Donovan: either put up or shut up.  Cite an 
actual legal statute and then demonstrate with evidence (not your 
personal opinion) that I have violated that statute.  No one is immune 
from criticism -- not you, not me, not Dale Courtney and not Pastor 
Wilson.  It's also the case that public figures have less protection 
than private figures.  This is one of the many reasons I feature so 
prominently on Dale's odious blog.  I'd rather not have what I write 
here reposted without my permission, but as a public figure, there's 
precious little I can do about it.  Now, should Dale violate the 
copyright on any of my published materials -- my novel, my work for New 
West, Stonewall, the Seattle Gay Times, the Boise Weekly, or the 
Co-Op's Community News --  then you can bet your sweet bippy I can and 
would sue the smarmy little git.  But Vision 2020 posts or letters to 
the editor are fair game.

Very seriously,

PS: As far as I'm concerned, this is the end of our correspondence on 
this subject.  You are again out of line, and I again advise you to 
step back.  Pronto.
