<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div>@Judd:<br><br></div>I can certainly understand that you felt smeared if you thought you were being compared to Douglas Wilson; anyone in their right mind would. And it must be hell for you to go through life in these parts with your last name if people think that you are related to him in any way -- by blood, marriage, or general crackpottery.<br>
<br></div>And I am sure there are many, many of us on V2020 who appreciate your very generous offer of your world class expertise and advice on how to engage in public discourse. You must have so many more years and and extensive experience in engaging in civil rights debates and actions, discussing and exposing political and religious corruption and hypocrisy, discussing problems in the criminal justice system, discussing local, state, and national political, economic, legal, and social issues, etc than any and all of the rest of us. We bow our heads in awestricken admiration at your humbling skills.<br>
<br></div>I am sure everyone here will be in vigorous competition to see who can adhere the strictest to the rules you have so magnanimously and without a hint of pomposity or self adulation presented as a subtly disguised edict to us. We are all greatly beyond any possible repayment in your debt for your wisdom in teaching us how to properly and to correctly express ourselves, especially those illiterate among us who were so unfortunate to have only had a public school education.<br>
<br></div><div>And so that we may further drink of your outstanding, selfless wisdom, why don't you write on V2020 about all your accomplishments in "community-building [sic]" and how you made them. Being a very uninformed hermit, I can't recall ever hearing your name in any local community building or any other local constructive activities. Please inform us of these and how you accomplished them so that we may accord you the respect and adulation you undoubtedly deserve.<br>
<br></div><div>And what a courageous hero you are for daring to utter things! There must be many who think that you deserve a medal for your fearless utterances of Biblical hate and division and your fearless ability to ignore all the soul rotting pseudo-knowledge derived by science in the last 200 years. No, let me correct myself: many, many medals (goodness, you may be just like the female protagonist in the story within the story "The Story Teller" by Saki). I am sure you know after being here on V2020 for the great length of time of one day that there are so many of us here that are overcome by immobilizing fear when it comes to expressing even our most mundane opinions.<br>
<br>And Gresham Bouma is certainly a good man, as white and wonderful as the ashes of a burnt down outhouse! Before him, all the rest of us are but dumb, blighted toadstools. One only needs to look him up in the Idaho Repository to start to discover how law abiding and pious he is. And his outstandingly clear and on target remarks about Mormons prove what a princely follower of Jesus he is, and how much better than the rest of the world he clearly understands the true meaning of teachings of Jesus. I am sure that only great, humble, god-fearing self-abnegation has kept him from achieving a modicum of material success and envious, radiant spiritual calm and unification with the All in this life.<br>
