This could put a real crimp in your day. Especially if it took more than a few hours to get things sorted out. Probably a good idea to always keep a little cash on hand, just in case.

This is actually a comment related to your non de plume. As the extremist chair of History and Social Sciences here near the foothills of the Ozarks midst of hill and plain (I know you have your decoder ring) I want to commend you on the intemperate, non-rational and un-Christian tone of your site and posts. Ray would have been pleased (I understand invoking the dead in the service of ones argument is both effective and seldom actionable). So…do not grow weary in the work of love, and as iron sharpens iron so one man sharpens another. Godspeed you Extremist.
KK, (not your real name, judging from your IP address), please read this and then email me (myname-at-outbursts-org) if you still feel that way.
Perhaps we can discuss privately why you think that posting snide comments while pretending to be someone else exemplifies the qualities of civility and temperance. Unless, of course, you were also just pretending to value those qualities, in which case, I’m sure I won’t hear from you.
P.S. We love you too.
OK- I’m lost in Erasmean fog of satire.
Either I really succeeded or failed totally to make my point. So…
Plain English.
Thanks for your thoughts and tone. I am an infrequent Blog lurker and appreciate your efforts at civility especially in maters of church and Christian education. I intended to convey that the first time.
Last- I am such an internet luddite that I don’t know how to contact you “privately.” Nor your “true” identity.
Godspeed, Kevin Klein, Chair, History and Social Sciences, Harding University. I’m in the book.
Wow. Okay, well straight talk usually works better.
Your IP showed as being from Colorado, so I thought it was someone pretending to be you, which in turn made me interpret the comment as hostile to both of us. That’s funny.
I get it now.
