Mr Campbell,

There seems to be a pattern in this venue to select a key point or
phrase in a post and present it out of context.  I'm probalby guilty
of that as well, but I attempt to avoid doing so purposefully.  That
pattern seems a bit illogical to me, but hey, I haven't been teaching
logic for 25 years . . .

You seemed to have missed or neglected I mentioned in my post that,
yes - it IS only 25 cents.  To refresh your memory let me quote from
that post:

" Well, 25 cents now, 1.5 million dollars later.  It's not the
case-in-point incident that is so nefarious; it's the precedent it
sets that can be damaging."

This is the very issue those who support / agree with / UNDERSTAND /
defend  Dr Weitze's case are arguing.  Others have written more
succinctly than I on that topic and I will not belabor it further.

I beliveve I have explained how I know so much about Mr Sitler.  I was
reluctant to do so because I was quite certain of the firestorm it
would produce and the associated accusations / name-calling /
"illogical" jumps to conclusions which did indeed happen.  And, as I
suspected, it turned out to be something many of you did not want to
hear, even after BEGGING me to tell you.  That seems a bit illogical
to me as well.

I don't know how long NSA has been downtown because, well, I don't
know.  I could look it up I suppose, but I didn't think it necessary.

Against my better judgement, I was not going to address this (it
struck me as the geek who stole your prom date being called out by the
high-school bully) but I shall:  I have chosen NOT to meet with you
because, quite simply, I see no purpose in doing so.  Your primary
motive seems to be "Prove to me you're not Doug Wilson.  Or Steven
Sitler.  Or Rush Limbaugh.  Or the anti-Christ."  Where is the logic
in that?  I could perhaps send a ringer in my place.  Are you going to
ask to see my driver's license?  My birth certificate?  My green card?
 Pinkie swear?

You may call me a coward if you wish.  Better yet point your finger
and say "See!  I told you so!  This proves my point!"  After doing so,
I would suggest you go dust off that introductory logic text and do a
bit more reading.  Maybe I should meet with you if for no other reason
than to give you several copies (you may distribute them to your
friends) of my favorite bumper sticker:

Don't Confuse Me With Facts - My Mind Is Made Up

That being said, for the record:

1.  I am NOT Doug Wilson.  I've never met Doug Wilson
2.  I am NOT affiliated in any way with NSA, Christ Church, Logos
School nor anything that (as far as I know) is tied to those
institutions.  I do, however, frequent Bucers.
3.  I am NOT Steven Sitler, (I'm not sure if he's allowed to go inot
Bucers . . .) nor a friend nor family member.
4.  I don't know "where in the public record one may confirm that I
have "worked for several months with Mr Sitler and other sex offenders
in our area."  The names of Mr. Sitler's doctors, counselors, and
therapists are matters of public record."  However, public records are
not all-inclusive.
5.  I'm not even Gerald Weitz
