I know the person that you refer to and have always found him to be an honorable man. I also believe that he was elected to the position because of his abilities, not his beliefs. I am confident that he does not have an "agenda" to spread atheism in our schools.
In addition, I belief that he is trying his level best to improve our education system, period.
Please do try to follow what's being said and if you don't mind, I would appreciate it if you would apologize to Jank for "talking down to her". Okay? Thanks..............
Hi UW,
First, I am not sure where you thought I "talked down to Jan." Although with the many names and allusions she has attached to my name -- it would be easy for a person to do.
You say you know our Fishy Friend -- but, I am not sure you really KNOW our Friend. The reason I came on the TD Forums in January 2007 was because he and Deep were dominating the Forum with their atheist evangelism. He has many times adamantly declared his strong atheistic views -- and that NOTHING but Darwinian Evolution should be taught in schools. And, he has adamantly disavowed ANY mentions of God, Christ, or Christianity in schools -- in any way, means, or capacity.
And, over the years, he became so nasty with other Forum members that, even when they wanted to meet, have coffee, and discuss their differences -- he flatly refused. His excuse was that because he had been so nasty to folks, and because he had been so hard nosed about his atheistic views -- he was afraid to meet anyone face to face. And, he told us that he wanted to get into local politics and did not want his strong atheist view to be a handicap.
That aside, for several years he was the master of back stabbing and underhanded tricks. First, he attempted to send an e-mail to my wife claiming he was a woman with whom I had an affair at a computer convention. But, of course, he was so smart -- that he sent the e-mail to my e-mail address. It was comical, for my wife has always accompanied me to all computer conventions. These were our way of having a vacation while still working. When I showed her his e-mail, she laughed at his silliness and at his attempt at deceit.
Then, there are the times when he tried to use my photo as his avatar on the Forums. And, the times when he posted writings on the Forum and signed my name -- in an attempt to make people think it came from me. And, there was the time when he created a phony posting name -- using my name with a period in it to get it through the computer -- and began to post very nasty, negative writings, supposedly coming from me. These problems I easily took care of with the help of the TD mods.
While I have, for almost four years, crossed swords with Deep -- I give him credit. He has called me the normal atheist names, i.e, stupid, uneducated, liar, etc., in his atheist attempt to spread Dawkinisms on the Forum -- but, Deep never did any of the deceitful things our other Friend so often attempted.
Therefore, even though I disagree on virtually everything Deep writes -- I do believe he is an above board person. On the other hand, I believe our Fishy Friend is just a deceitful back stabber. As the old television detective, Sgt. Joe Friday, used to say,
"Just the facts, ma'am -- just the facts." But, UW, this is the "honorable" person you think I have dishonored. Am I out to denigrate our Friend? No. It is only that whenever anyone mentions the Florence school system and Christmas in the same breath -- my fondest thoughts become Fishy.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill
