The Everlasting Blogstalker who has reformed his ways — he no longer uses stupid pseudonyms, but the names of real people whose beliefs he then misrepresents — responds to my “Devious Snakes” post with this little nugget of Christian integrity:
(copied and pasted from comments received on my personal email account):
You need to learn the difference between the letter O and the number 0. I commented as R0SE HUSKEY, not as ROSE HUSKEY. Or, to use lower case, I commented as r0se huskey, not as rose huskey. So there. (end of comment)
There you have it, folks — a mature, reasonable approach to dialogue codified for the rank amateur in “The Serrated Edge” and other skylarking tomes. By the way, the cowardly liar who wrote the knee-slapper above says he’s not Joshua Nieuwsma, and I believe him. Now, Joshua ought to be ashamed of himself for his comments on poor people — remember, he weighed in on their dental hygiene and yards full of crap as his contribution to a discussion on poverty — but I don’t think he’s paraded through cyberspace as Rosemary Huskey.
See, Joshua is a young man. In the culture of the Kirk, you have to be quite a bit older to be that immature.
