<DIV><FONT face=Arial>All right Wayne, last time up with this as I'm sure folks
have got to be getting mighty weary of this mostly irrelevant topic. I know I
am. Well here we go, one at a time and in order.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>1. Any time anybody writes a sentence they choose words
which may have differing definitions but settle on one for the purpose of trying
to make a point or simply communicating an idea. Doing so does not preclude all
other possible uses or meaning of that same word.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>2." Force my will on others?" I couldn't force my will on
my wife, my children, my pets, or my houseplants. If you can provide even one
example of this stupid contention I'll be amazed as I have gone through life
convinced my "will" was as ineffectual as my virtue. The surest test in this
particular instance would be to check in with the person I was writing the
sentence in question to. Did Ms. Lund think that I was "forcing" my will upon
her? I suspect not, and that she would find the notion that
I might would be laughable in the extreme.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>3. Your favorite obsession, Douglas Wilson. Sorry, I
refuse to indulge you in this one. Suffice it to say that I really think,
unequivocally, that your passion for all things Doug is beyond odd. If you'd
like to crow about my response to this question, knock yourself out. I don't
believe in encouraging these sorts of behaviors.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>4. The race. You propose a contest that you know could
never occur as some sort of test of....what? Look at this one from my
perspective. If, by a miracle granted to you by God Almighty, you were to win
I'd find myself tired, sweaty, mildly chagrined and in Canada. If I win, I've
beaten a geezer in a silly foot race. Sounds like a lose-lose situation to me.
Lord knows I'm not the fastest turnip on the truck but I didn't fall off it
yesterday.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'd like to say it's been a pleasure, but...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>Well Gary,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>I am sorry that you can not understand the
simple fallacy of a persuasive definition. But that is not unexpected
from a pseudo-libertarian. Just as you try to force your will on others,
you try to force a restrictive definition on others in a context where such a
definition subtends only a small subset that the general definition used by
the other commenter's.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>To support your restrictive persuasive
definition you write:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff>"With the courts judgment the answer
to the slander/libel question becomes yes or no. Without, it's
purely subjective."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>Somehow in making this absurd statement you
forgot to comment upon the Stambler/Wilson example. And while it is
true that a court may enter a judgment in a defamation trial, that judgment
may be just as subjective as that any issued by the man in the street.
Or haven't you observed a protracted court case peopled by faulty or dishonest
witnesses on both sides? Or has it not struck you that the quality of
the opposing attorneys plays a great part in the outcome of a trial, perhaps
in some trials much more than the opposing claims of facts?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>Just so that we can all understand
unequivocally where <STRONG>you</STRONG> stand:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>1. Douglas Stambler claimed
that Douglas Wilson molested young boys. If that claim is false, would
<STRONG>you</STRONG> say the Wilson was slandered?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>2. Is it
<STRONG>your</STRONG> position that slander does not occur unless the matter
is (a) tried in court, (b) decided by a court, and (c) upheld on appeal should
an appeal(s) be filed?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>Please for the sake of clarity and honesty
answer yes/no to each of the two questions adding any explanatory material you
like. Perhaps, for the edification of the V 2020 readers who are still
interested, you can answer these two simple questions directly without evading
them or trying to change the subject.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>Feel free to continue commenting on my advanced
age. Should you like to test the relevance of my advanced
age I would be glad to race you from the Bourgeau Lake trail head on the
Trans-Canada to the summit of Bourgeau peak. If you win the race, you
will have more to gloat about my advanced age; if you lose, you can use your
usual failure to meet the issue head on tactics or give some other lame excuse
as ways to divert attention from your failure. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I am well aware of the difference between slander and
libel. I have made the distinction in several previous posts. Since Ms. Lund's
meaning was clear and I considered the post to be informal and "friendly" I
opted to try and avoid coming across as a pedantic blow hole. Different
strokes for different folks, aye?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The definition I used for the term slander was
absolutely valid. I did not say that the term couldn't be used in any other
way but rather that by the definition I used there could be zero question as
to whether the offense occurred or not. Barring the restrictive definition of
the term we enter into the vague world of peoples feelings and personal
perceptions, a place where there is very little likelihood that people with
widely divergent world views and opinions are going to reach consensus. With
the courts judgment the answer to the slander/libel question becomes
yes or no. Without, it's purely subjective. It becomes maybe, perhaps and who
knows. Again I'm sure you are well aware of all this and are simply trying to
score points in some sort of contest that only you are completely up to speed
on. I hope you're having a good time. I'm a little amazed that a throw away
post regarding Rose's newest venture has generated this much traffic. Are you
having a difficult time filling the long, lonely hours of your declining
years?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>In the following the word "slander" is used
since it occurred earlier in thread, although the correct term is most
likely "libel" since we are referring to published material on the
internet. The initial and continued use of "slander" for
"libel" terms does not affect the gist of the arguments
below.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>Gary writes:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Verdana size=3>There are at least three problems with this

risk wasting a little time to expose it, although such exposure will be

to describe the 'true' or 'commonly accepted' meaning of a term, while in
reality stipulating an uncommon or altered use, usually to support an
argument for some view, or to create or alter rights, duties or crimes. The
terms thus defined will often involve emotionally charged but imprecise
notions, such as "freedom", "terrorism", "democracy" etc...."</DIV>

sense has not occurred. Almost all instances of
slander in its legal sense never see the any judicial proceeding for a large
variety of reasons. Even in its legal sense, the question of whether
slander occurred is more complicated. For example, even if false and
damaging statements are made, they may not rise to the level of legal
slander, although they would certainly meet the criteria of the word
"slander" used in its general sense above.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face=Verdana size=3>In a Vision 2020

Christ Church, sexually molested young boys. If this

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face=Verdana size=3>Since, there has
been no judicial proceeding on this matter (reader's are left to speculate

<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face=Verdana size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><FONT face=Verdana size=3>Under Gary's view,
then even if the allegation is false, Wilson has not been slandered.
Reader's can be the judge, but I would guess that if the Stambler's
allegation is false, I think most of us would agree that Wilson was
slandered. Perhaps Gary can ask Wilson if he thought that he was
slandered by Stambler's remarks the next time Wilson visits The Lock
Shop.</FONT></DIV>

aspect to his using this format is that items of interest to him
are not directed to and clogging up the greater groups inbox unlike
certain others who shall remain nameless.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In my memory of Dale's posts to the V he
did a fine job of expressing and defending his view points, as did Rose.
The difference was that Dale was the lone mongoose in the viper pit and
Rose sang with the choir. I perfectly understand how being the
minority voice can become tiresome and, eventually, not worth the
effort. In conversations I have had with Dale I have done my best, sorry
as it is, to convince and encourage him to rejoin the fray. Lord knows I
would enjoy an additional conservative voice here to help sing the
counterpoint to the rest of ya'lls dreary dirge. Do I have "distain and
censure" for Rose and her new endeavor? Not hardly, I'm not wild about
the fact that it doesn't allow for comments (as Dale's does) but I have
been assured that this is but a temporary thing and will change "soon."
I have been informed that comments must fall within "appropriate
parameters" and this IS a type of censorship I'm not particularly
fond of. I truly fail to see how anything I have posted might be
construed as being in favor of limiting anyone's free expression. You
seem to be laboring under the erroneous and fatuous assumption
that Rose and I are enemies of some sort. Nothing could be further from
the truth. We get on rather well, all things considered and I wish her
nothing but the best in her latest whimsy and I hope that it
doesn't suffer the same ignoble fate that lil' Joannie's
did.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Whether I have "exhibited yourself for all
to see as a phony" is for others to decide. What I have been trying to
express is my contention that more light (and heat) is shed in an
unmediated, unrestrained setting and that it's the venue that I,
personally prefer (even if it means having to endure silly fonts
& unrestrained use of color) for hashing out the topics de jour
as opposed to having to listen (read) someone hold forth ad
nauseum.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now hows about you have yourself a nice

your cranky and constipated outlook don't take a remarkable turn for the
better. At your advanced age you shouldn't get so agitated.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>Well, Gary,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am surprised that you have the stupidity to mention and to
champion Dale Courtney's web-blots so soon after you wrote the
following about Rose Huskey and others:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff>"Apparently it's more fun to simply broadcast
your irrefutable wisdom to the world and not have to deal with the
unpleasantness of actual debate."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Are you too busy playing with your keys to see that Courtney runs
his own web-blots in part because he was not able to effectively
defend his positions on V 2020, and so that he may remove comments
that he doesn't like, or remove comments that point out where he
either misquotes, quotes out of context, or quotes incompletely to
give the wrong impression. It's all right for Dale Courtney, but
not for Rose Huskey?</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV>Further, you pretended a few days ago to be staunchly
anti-censorship and a true defender of freedom of speech <FONT
color=#0000ff>"Censorship sucks"</FONT> were your words. Now you
express disdain and censure for those who dare, like your hero
Courtney, to express themselves in a blog - a decidedly
anti-free-expression position on your part.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>You sir, have just exhibited yourself for all to see as a phony,
whose writings express a desire to control what others say and do
almost as much as do the cultmaster's!</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know I'm probably going to regret this
but my curiosity is hopelessly piqued. Just exactly what action did
you take that would serve as a shining example for others to emulate?
Is it the thinly veiled vulgarities in your post? Is it maintaining a
hate web site against a small local protestant congregation? Is it
endlessly posting of news tidbits that you think should be of interest
to others? Is it your tireless and constant monitoring of Dale
Courtney's web site? I'd really like to know what it is so I could
thank you properly for your ongoing good works. (once their
