Like I said, I think you guys should just take your case to the city council to
require all members of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Christ</st1:PlaceName>
<st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Church</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> be given a giant

font-family:"Courier New"'>I am unceasingly dumfounded at how kirkers can
continue to make veiled and slanderous comments even when they are continually
exposed for what they are. Just this morning I located another kirk blog
linked to my site that revealed yet another misquote. Dale Cortney still
refuses to pull an intentional misquote from my blog that has now been up for
months. This is amazing. After 8 months, and every kirk attack has been in the
form of bald falsehood, nonsensical ridicule, or else strong critique of
strawed-man quotes ripped out of context. Does not anyone at the Kirk
have a rational, argumentative point to be made about the constant and varied
public criticism against them? Outside of the silly
“persecution” ploy?<O:P></O:P></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face="Courier New"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:"Courier New"'>As for this quote: this has become one of the steady
anti-pooh mantras that kirkers sooth themselves with. So please allow me just
this one time to quickly and modestly point out the relevant fact that my
readership is as strong as Peter Leithart’s; you might recall how Wilson
boasted about Leithart’s blog in his sermon when explaining why he
was the truly anointed one in Moscow. Apparently, the kind of
“interest” Leithart’s blog gets is evidence for the fact that
YHWH will defend the Kirk against its local enemies; I guess I now have
evidence that YHWH is routing for me too. In sum, I certainly
haven’t sent links to Vision 2020 to keep a “needed”
readership (putting aside the claims that I have a mental disorder); I just
like local readership more than non-local, given the common topic of my blog
(which, by the way, is only about 40% Kirk stuff these days). <O:P></O:P></span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
