[Vision2020] Steven J. Sitler

[Glenn Schwaller]

Thank you Ms Lund for also seeing the heinous fallacy of Mr. Fox's
post.  As I pointed out in a previous post, Mr Hansen also agreed with
Mr Fox, and
I think both need to be called on the carpet for their stand - be it
sarcastic or not, and both should apologize to the viewers and
contributors of this site.
I would note that even Mr Sitler was responsible enough to stand in
open court and apologize for his actions.  Yes, it may very well have
been self serving of him
to do so, but nonetheless he did apologize.  As of this post, I don't
see where neither Mr Fox nor Mr Hansen has done so.

I would say again, to both of you "Shame on you."  And shame on any
others who even for a minute thought the suggestion of Mr Sitler
boarding with Mr Wilson's grandchildren
"an excellent suggestion."

Ms Lund writes "I don't know that I have expressed this well . . ."

Ms Lund, no one could have expressed it better.

Thank you

Schwaller

Hi Wayne,

OK, I get the sarcasm in your post.

However, your post ***really*** bothers me, so I'm going to speak up.

I just don't think it EVER appropriate to suggest putting children in harm's
way just to prove a point, sarcasm or not.

The children you reference have done NOTHING to deserve such treatment, and
it is deeply offensive to me that you bring the these precious beings up to
make a point.  As probably most here know, I think children deserve to be
completely OFF LIMITS as "targets" here on the Viz, and your post is one of
the most offensive I've read here.  The children to whom you refer -- along
with every single child in our community -- are our future, and to suggest
deliberately putting these innocents in harm's way is indefensible, IMHO.

Just for the record, I'll disclose that except for the newest addition, I've
met & spent time with the truly delightful children you've dragged into
this.  But, even if I hadn't, I'd be just as . . .  disgusted.

Please, please, PLEASE LEAVE individual CHILDREN OUT of this discussion, a
discussion we wouldn't be having were it not for the fact that Steven J.
Sitler, a serial child predator who has already victimized far too many
children in this country, came to our community.

Discuss Sitler; discuss his crimes; discuss the failure (IMHO) of the
judicial system; discuss the failure of our newspapers; discuss why Sitler
came here; discuss the failure of Christ Church to warn our community once
his crimes were known by the church hierarchy; discuss the failure of the
Christ Church community warn the rest of us once they knew; discuss the
problem of child sexual abuse in general or in our community, region, state,
nation, world.

I don't know that I've expressed this well, but your post crosses a line for
me, Wayne . . . a line I hope to never again see crossed here on V2020.

Some, no doubt, will ask the trite question, "By whose standards?!?"

My response to those who will lack the courage to ask the question here is,
"If you have to ask that question about this subject, you are already a lost
soul for whom I'll pray."
