<DIV><FONT size=4>Melynda,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>In this day of tracing tools, syntax/style analyses [note the
plural], hidden, interweaved, subheader records in emails, composition
program traces, it is foolish that anyone thinks they are really being
anonymous. It is especially easy for analysis programs to spot the writing
of a sexist man posting anonymously as an abused woman. (There have been
at least four different cases of such anonymous posters on V
2020.)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Except in the case of clear hypocrisy and cowardice, I
generally do not reveal the identities of the less than honest. I will
reveal a few in time who fit the mentioned categories, but I'll wait for just
the propitious moment.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Jon Kimberling and I agree about very little. But I
admire his <STRONG><FONT color=#0000ff>courage and willingness</FONT></STRONG>
to sign his name to his opinions.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>"Stigmata X" really has nothing to worry about either.
His is the only game in the region. If he signed his real name, it
probably wouldn't hurt his business a bit. I would patronize it, if
needed. I do wonder though what the real reason is that he is
afraid/ashamed to sign his name.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4><STRONG><FONT color=#ff0000>Cowardice and hypocrisy are not
redeeming qualities.</FONT></STRONG> That is another reason why I will
continue to argue against and poke fun at the Christ Church Cult and its
flimflamming, buffoonish Cult Master.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Mike Hall plays his sorrowful violin about being the target of
discrimination after all his hard work [Hitler worked very hard also].
Since a portion of Hall Closet Uniform's profits support racism,
sexism, homophobia, theocratic/anti-democratic ambitions, stupidity, etc.,
etc., he needs to turn his mirror on himself. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>If Mike really thinks he is a Christian, then he needs to read
the passages from Matthew very, very, carefully (see below) and the discussion
of those passages on V 2020 that occurred awhile back. When he
understands these passages, he will evidence such understanding by changing
churches, quickly, without regrets.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>In a few months the spotlight will really brightly shine on
Hall Closet Uniforms anyway. When it does, V 2020 readers may also want to
recall the passages from Matthew below and a few others.
<DIV></FONT> </DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4>Religious freedom means the freedom to believe in anything no
matter how comforting, disingenuous, manipulative, or asinine. It
does not mean that religious belief is free from critical analysis, comment, and
ridicule (this is not an Islamic Republic like Saudi Arabia). Put away
your violin Mike; it just makes you, like George Kong who uses the same
from-ignorance pitch, look like either you are really divorced from reality or
you are really inept con artists.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=4><BR></FONT></DIV><FONT size=4>> I'm interested, and maybe a
little puzzled, to see that a number of recent <BR>> Vision 2020 members use
pseudonyms, and that at least three of them state <BR>> that they do so out
of fear that they might suffer some ill consequence from <BR>> owning their
opinions publically. Now, in the case of "Stigmatta X," that <BR>>
claim seemed a trifle disingenuous, since he gloated that he was expressing
<BR>> painfully rude opinions to people who might withdraw their business
from him <BR>> if they knew who he was. But perhaps others, like
"R2Privacy," might be <BR>> willing to share what their fears are?<BR>>
<BR>> I confess that I don't think of Vision 2020 as a particularly powerful
venue <BR>> in itself; I'd bet that most people in town don't even know it
exists. And <BR>> while a wide range of opinions are expressed here,
I've yet to see much <BR>> social consequence for their expression. And
while each of us no doubt has <BR>> favorite contributors, and those we
dread, or pity, or mock, no one "rules" <BR>> the board. Of
course, better writers have a significant advantage over the <BR>> rest of
us--but how many of us are willing to change our pet opinions <BR>> because
someone else's are expressed so beautifully, or even have <BR>>
higher-quality facts to back them up?<BR>> <BR>> So what exactly is it
that people fear about sharing their ideas in their <BR>> own person on the
list? Am I missing something important?<BR>> <BR>> Melynda
