<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>Cult master Wilson claims he did not
plagiarize portions of his now infamous tract <EM>Southern Slavery, As It
Was</EM> (1996),<EM> </EM>but was sloppy with the footnoting and attribution in
the original edition. He did not pull the book from publication because of
the recent controversy but because of a "gracious Christian scholar" alerted him
to the problem in a letter. He gives the scholar's name in his web-blot as
"Dr. _________________.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>What is the name of the scholar? Why
can't the letter be published as proof of Wilson's claims?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>Surely, any "gracious Christian" would not
object to the publication of such a letter in order to rescue and to deblaspheme
the agent of God!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Verdana Ref" size=4>If the neither the name nor the letter are
forthcoming, and if they are, subsequently not verified as authentic, then what
is the most probable explanation? [Culties take note.]</FONT></DIV><FONT

<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Interesting: Wilson himself during the recent controversy about the
tract said in newspaper articles (and perhaps on Vision 2020) that he had reread
the tract at issue and would not change any of it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Awaiting further developments including the name of the "gracious Christian
scholar", a copy of the letter, an explanation of why Wilson did not discover
any problems upon his recent rereading, and an enlightening Official Explanation
from Captain Kirker.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG>I am also wondering if the <EM>Daily News</EM> reporter, if they
cover this latest unholy dido by Wilson, will ask for and print the anonymous
scholar's name and the letter itself</STRONG>.</DIV>
