[Vision2020] courtney exploits tragedy

[g. crabtree]

And just what is it that you are attempting to exploit, with melodrama 
befitting a 14 year old school girl and breathless hyperbole such as one 
might have heard from Jimmy Swaggart when the mortgage was due? Ms. Mix, 
never one to hide her sanctimony beneath a bushel basket, adds telepathy to 
her, already impressive resume of God given skills. She tells us with a 
certainty precisely what villainy Dale Courtney had in his heart and mind 
when he typed the sentence that, apparently, unleashed her emotional 
denunciation, and thoughtfully provides the Almighty's sternly disapproving 
reaction as well.  At the same time, by posting her plaintive and passionate 
impression of what a scurrilous scoundrel he is for all the V to see, 
(shameless grandstanding?) she reaches for a stout stick to take a few 
public whacks at her favorite flock of bogeymen. In this she almost 
certainly meets or exceeds DC's worst expectations. Plaintive rebuke and 
anguished piety go perfectly with crocodile tears and thinly disguised 
vitriol however, it remains a dowdy and over worn, ensemble. But what the 
heck, they go nicely with your eye's.
