12.0pt'>Below is <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Wilson</st1:place></st1:City>’s
latest public attack on his local critics; he is blaming them (or perhaps I
should say “us” given his recent attacks on me) for the used condom
recently placed in his mailbox. I want to keep this brief: <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Wilson</st1:place></st1:City> is a very good
politician and magical in his rhetorical ability. And he will stop at
nothing to malign anyone that gets in his path. I want to therefore encourage
everyone interested in bringing more publicity to <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Wilson</st1:place></st1:City> and criticizing him to play fair and
play good. Unfortunately, this is because we need to play safe. I
should also note that when I arrived here over 10 years ago, it was understood that
Doug Wilson already had a bad reputation with many locals and that emotions ran
high because of his more cock-sure and sarcastic rhetorical style over
offensive political issues. If you want to publicly criticize <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Wilson</st1:place></st1:City>, you need to keep
reminding folks of these kinds of things. <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place
w:st="on">Wilson</st1:place></st1:City>’s primary strategy is to isolate
his critic, even if it is only rhetorically and illusionary, and then attack.
Don’t let him do this. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:"Times New Roman"'>Just finished talking with the cops about an
incident last evening. When I came home last night (June 26, 2006), I checked
our mailbox by the road before heading up the driveway. The mailbox contained a
used condom, or a condom doctored to look as though it had been used. Now there
are two basic possibilities here. One of them is that this is some drunk frat
boy's idea of random acts of kindness. The cop told me that while such
incidents are not commmon, they do <i><span style='font-style:italic'>sometimes
</span></i>happen. But, honestly, given the climate that the Intoleristas have
tried to create here in <st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Moscow</st1:place></st1:City>,
what are the odds of that? The much more likely possibility is that <b><span
style='font-weight:bold'>an unstable someone took his inspiration from the
rancor that Intoleristas have been assiduously cultivating</span></b>. This,
um, open-minded activist was therefore making his anonymous statement. He is no
doubt concerned that if I am allowed to continue to preach the gospel the way I
do, and write the way I do, the distinct danger exists that there might be a
degradation of our public discourse. And of course, the kind of person who
would do this kind of thing is <i><span style='font-style:italic'>very </span></i>concerned
about degraded public discourse. <b><span style='font-weight:bold'>The
hypocrisy of the Tolerant has long since blocked their drains, has backed up,
and is all over their floor. I even found some in my mailbox last night</span></b>.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
