[Vision2020] Nazis need a voice, too!

[Joe Campbell]

Roger,

The relevant post was "Polygamists need a voice" (posted Tue Jun 12 16:40:42 PDT 2007) which was subsequently followed by my (ironic, I thought at the time) "Nazis need a voice, too." (I should have left out the hyphen.)

I am all for less venom but, as I tried to point out in my previous post, it is not always easy for folks on one side of an issue to spot venom coming from folks on the other. For instance, constant references to me as "Mr. Campbell" likely seem to you as respectful. But I didn't bust my hump getting a PhD just to be called "Mr. Campbell" by a hack with a Masters Degree. This is an old ploy from the Doug camp, brought on by my own regrettable comment that it bugged me when people called me "Mr. Campbell." There are other, similar pokes in my eye that likely slipped past you, as well.

In general I'll try to limit the venom. But I've adopted a new policy of treating people as they treat me, so you might not want to read my posts following those by Doug. By the way, by calling Glen or Glenn or whatever the heck his name is 'Doug' I am not suggesting that he is Doug Farris. Nor am I even suggesting that he is Doug Wilson, though he does sound a lot like Doug Wilson -- same arguments, same views, same insulting remarks, etc. As I said, I believe that Glenn or Glen or whatever the heck his name is is at least four people, two of whom are named ‘Doug.’ By calling him 'Doug' I merely increase my chances of getting it right on any particular occasion.

Best, Joe

I may have missed it, but I don't remember any inference by Glenn to gay marriage and polygamy. I thought that most of his posts were either providing information on sex offenders or responding to the criticism of other. Which Doug are you labeling Glen as (Farris or Willson)? I will accept your statement that you have no beef with Chist Church per se, only some members. I do not mean to call only you out  for labeling folks with derogatory labels, it goes for all sides. I would like to see a discussion of the issues and different ideas with out the venom. I think all those on this list  are basicity good folks, with the best interests of the community as they see it at heart. I am hopelessly naive I guess. As to labels I would call myself an economic conservative. A more compete description would be a moderate libertarian conservative.
