[Vision2020] The Secret Life of Schwaller Mitty, Part I<BR>> <BR>> Dear
Mr. Schwaller,<BR>> <BR>> You say, "QED," but your latest rhetorical
devices indicate that you have<BR>> fallen head first into a protracted "I am
not Doug Wilson; I just act like<BR>> him," downward spiral, which will only
end in calamity. Please, let me help<BR>> restore you by filling in yet more
blanks.<BR>> <BR>> In order to understand this next point, you must firmly
grasp the axiom that<BR>> IT IS ALL ABOUT DOUG, and you must understand that
the only way for Pastor<BR>> Wilson to insure that all things remain ALL
ABOUT DOUG, he must CONTROL THE<BR>> CONVERSATION. He must bend and shape and
twist the dialogue, if not prohibit<BR>> it outright, to insure that when
anyone says anything about him (or his<BR>> church), they either say nice
things or else he is present to CONTROL THE<BR>> CONVERSATION.<BR>>
<BR>> This objective is easy enough to achieve inside the church where he
rules<BR>> with an iron fist. For example, in a previous post I referenced
Duck<BR>> because, as you know, Wilson gave him an ultimatum: "Sign the
Christ Church<BR>> Commitment to Loyalty or I'll put you in the bread line."
The Christ Church<BR>> Commitment to Loyalty prohibited free speech and it
required the strict<BR>> appearance of perfect loyalty to the church - so
strict that if anyone ever<BR>> questioned it, Wilson would immediately
terminate him. The rest of the<BR>> stories spun by Wilson are complete
fabrications. I have read the Christ<BR>> Church Commitment to Loyalty and I
have spoken to Duck. Sadly, most kirkers<BR>> are afraid to call him because
they know that when they hang up, they will<BR>> have to make a costly
decision (Wilson knows this too). However, the point<BR>> of the Christ
Church Commitment to Loyalty and the point that you must<BR>> understand was
Wilson's obsessive need to CONTROL THE CONVERSATION.<BR>> <BR>> An even
better example of Wilson's need to CONTROL THE CONVERSATION is the<BR>> case
at hand - Steven Sitler. Mr. Schwaller, what pastoral consideration<BR>>
could possibly exist that would override Wilson's absolute responsibility
to<BR>> warn his flock of predation? Of course, you and I both know that the
answer<BR>> is "No reason or excuse exists that could in any way relieve him
of this<BR>> obligation." But believe it or not, last year the paper quoted
Wilson (or<BR>> one of his proxies), saying something like they "did it for
the victims,"<BR>> whatever that means.<BR>> <BR>> By comparison, the
church in Colville not only sent letters to the<BR>> congregation, they
adopted a policy to purchase a full-page ad in the<BR>> newspaper to place
Sitler's photograph before the public with the warning:<BR>> CONVICTED
PEDOPHILE, if he ever returns to Colville. Now that's a church<BR>> that
cares. Not Wilson; he didn't say boo to the flock, let alone the<BR>> public,
which brings us back to point.<BR>> <BR>> Wilson decided to ignore the
urgent duty of warning his congregation because<BR>> he wanted to CONTROL THE
CONVERSATION. He understands that the words "Serial<BR>> Pedophile" lead to
six-inch headlines, and in 2005 he certainly didn't want<BR>> to go through
another 2003-04. After all, IT'S ALL ABOUT DOUG. So he<BR>> CONTROLLED THE
CONVERSATION by withholding vital information.<BR>> <BR>> Now take this
principle and apply it to Vision 2020. Wilson needs to CONTROL<BR>> THE
CONVERSATION, but after he ran away from here in 2003, he put himself in<BR>>
a pickle. How could he honor his pledge to sign off 2020 yet
simultaneously<BR>> CONTROL THE CONVERSATION? The answer to this question
lies within the Secret<BR>> Life of Schwaller Mitty.<BR>> <BR>> It is
not enough for Pastor Wilson to have proxies spreading his opinions on<BR>>
this bulletin board. Ultimately, he must visit this list in person to
make<BR>> his arguments firsthand. So when he said farewell in December 2003,
he left<BR>> by name only because even at that time he had two Schwaller
Mittys - two<BR>> fictitious personalities with pseudonymous email accounts -
subscribed to<BR>> Vision 2020 so that he could CONTROL THE CONVERSATION. And
these two<BR>> conjured characters were the first in an endless parade of
pseudonyms who<BR>> would visit this forum at various points in Kirk history,
so that Wilson<BR>> could CONTROL THE CONVERSATION.<BR>> <BR>> Mr.
Schwaller, I introduce you to Edna Wilmington (#1) and Rodney Johnson,<BR>>
the first two pseudonyms deployed by Wilson in November 2003, a couple
of<BR>> weeks before he signed off this listserv. Mr. Schwaller, think of
them as<BR>> the Ghosts of Schwaller's Past, for these two fakes were the
beginning of<BR>> Schwallers - extensions of a deranged imagination slipping
into madness - so<BR>> that Wilson could CONTROL THE CONVERSATION.<BR>>
<BR>> Mr. Schwaller, you must save yourself from this "I am not Doug Wilson;
I<BR>> just act like him," downward spiral, lest you fall into oblivion with
all<BR>> the others.<BR>> <BR>> The Secret Life of Schwaller Mitty,
Part II will follow.<BR>> <BR>> Herodotus<BR>> <BR>> PS: Mr.
Schwaller, you have persuaded me that you can follow an argument and<BR>>
that you do not need repetitive caps. Please indulge me, however,
because<BR>> there is a group of people who require such things to help jar
them out of<BR>> their stupor.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>>
