<DIV><BR></DIV>Note to all:<BR><BR>I would like to bring to your attention a
suspicious series of events.<BR><BR>First, rvrcowboy (of Lewiston) joins us on
20 April, referred "at the<BR>advice of a friend." Remember,
TonyKneeTime is from Lewiston. Our<BR>newcomer indicates that we
probably won't hear from him for a while,<BR>that he will be content to read
and enjoy our thoughts and ideas until<BR>he gets "a feel for the
arena." However, he is quick to respond to my<BR>criticism of
TonyKneeTime. He does this a mere one day later, in a<BR>message sent to
me:<BR><BR>"Chas,<BR>You are a cop-out. Putting labels on the thoughts
and opinions of others is<BR>little more than admitting you have no rational
comeback of your own to<BR>offer. Whether you favor abortion on demand,
or not, is not the issue."<BR><BR>I do respond, but rvrcowboy doesn't
understand that dialogue is like<BR>badminton, so I'm still waiting for the
shuttlecock to be returned.<BR><BR>Then, on 21 April, "Ed" joins our group,
proudly letting us all know<BR>that he is a homophobe in his first
message. My welcome isn't very<BR>tolerant or kind, for which I offer no
apologies. Lo and behold,<BR>rvrcowboy leaps to Ed's defense, in this message
addressed to me:<BR><BR>"Touche!!! See what I told you Ed? You are
already a "bigot" and<BR>"shallow-minded", merely because you have an opinion
different from the norm<BR>in the area. As Chas has already warned you,
in the body of this post, you<BR>won't be very "popular" in the Moscow
area."<BR><BR>The noteworthy portion of his post is the clear revelation
that<BR>rvrcowboy and Ed know each other.<BR><BR>Is this an unclever
right-wing gang-bang?<BR><BR>To rvrcowboy:<BR><BR>It's interesting that you
are quick to jump in unless the post is<BR>actually directed at you.<BR><BR>Is
your head buried in the sand, rvrcowboy, or somewhere else?<BR><BR>I'm not a
moral relativist, rvrcowboy. Appeals to religious belief<BR>aren't
protected in my neighborhood, especially when they are used in<BR>attempts to
protect the ugly and the nasty. There is no defence for<BR>homophobia,
just as there is no defense for racism, misogyny, or<BR>female
circumcision.<BR><BR>I'm still waiting for your reply to my previous response,
rvrcowboy. <BR>Will I be left waiting
forever?<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR><BR>Chas<BR><BR>_____________________________________________________<BR> List
