[Vision2020] From the "What are they doing now?" File

[Tom Hansen]

I have just recently (as in a week ago) come across Courtney's twittering (how's that for a movie title).

Courtney claims (at least he did when he lived here in Moscow) to be a loving, caring Christian who strongly supports family values.  Yet, here it was . . . ten days after the Newton (Connecticut) massacre . . . the day before Christmas . . . and Dale Courtney promoting a video whose theme concerns killing people with assault weapons.

This isn't the first (or second or third or . . . ) time I have found Courtney to be, in my opinion, unethical.

For a two- to three-year period, back when I was working at UI Facilities, Courtney filed so many unsupported and meaningless complaints against me (with the UI general counsel's office) that we (me and some of the counsel's staff) developed a first-name relationship.  Heck!  After a while they suggested that I retain an attorney and file a harassment suit against Courtney.  I decided not to.

Perhaps Mr. Dredge and Mr. Rumelhart find the promotion of such videos (the very videos the NRA claims to be the cause of the assault-weapon killings in Newtown, Aurora, and Portland) to be acceptable and appropriate.  I DON'T ! ! !

Seeya round town, Moscow, because . . .

This one looks fun, maybe I'll try it sometime when I'm done killing dragons with swords and axes in Skyrim.  I'm curious about what Dale's opinion of this is.  I suspect Tom will be amazed when he finds out, but I don't really know.
