I hope you’ll ultimately reconsider and start a new blog on blogger. I’ve never had any problems with hackers on blogger.

Good luck and God bless!

– Benjamin Franklin, upon leaving the Constitutional Convention, in answer to “What have we got?”

I believe open debate is one of the essential keys to maintaining freedom in a Republic. Tolerance and diversity are the very mottos of popular culture. Surely there is room for discussion of your viewpoints in a public forum.

Pointing out hypocrisy and inconsistency with the use of sarcasm are strong points of yours that are of great value. I say this in spite of the fact that some of my beliefs have been your targets. If my ideas cannot stand up, on their own, to your observations and criticisms, then I need to examine why.

I may not thank you for the way you point things out but that is another matter entirely. Perhaps some provocation is needed to jar some of us out of a complacent state, but much like Socrates, don’t expect the “gadflys” to win any popularity contests.

May I yet again, as in times past, disagree with you, sir, on the point of the media of the future. The internet IS it and you have already mastered this form of communication. Measure this by the virulence, persistence and numbers of your enemies. Print media is dying at an ever accelerating rate and the broadcast networks are not far behind.

Ask Dan Rather about the power of the blogs…

And as to the notion that “individuals are powerless in war.”

Rubbish. Let me put it another way; what was the impact of Robert E. Lee on the Late Great Unpleasentness Between the States? AH! The value of an individual on a war then depends not on the war but rather on the individual.

Win or lose the example an individual sets can echo through history…

I am heartily glad that Leonidas, King of Sparta, did not agree with you. That individual took it quite personally that Xerxes wanted him to surrender at Thermopylae. Although impossibly outnumbered his 300 men stood with him against hundreds of thousands. A single man, a single phrase (Molon Labe!) a lost but noble battle that changed the course of world history.

If you truly believe most of what you have written then you, like Leonidas, think that the future of your people is at stake. Little Geneva is the bottleneck that can’t easily be gotten around by those who oppose you (like Thermopylae) and if you decide that this is where you make your stand others will stand with you.

The war you speak of is for the soul of a once great nation; it will be fought and won or lost on the Net with words and ideas and nowhere else.

Give up this place and you may live longer and certainly will live easier but your cause will not be better for it.

It’s a Republic, if we can keep it.

Your opponent, but never your enemy

God bless you, Harry. As Churchill was wont to say, “NEver, never, never give up!”

Christus vincit!
Christus regnat!
Christus imperator!

I will miss this forum and I wish you would reconsider.

One thing you have re-enforced in my thinking is the absolute weakness of the contemporary Reformed Church. This weakness has been most clearly seen in the refusal of ministers and others to engage the arguments and positions put forth, opting instead to use ad-hominem and anonymous pejoratives like ‘dishonorable’ to try and drown out your reasoning.

I haven’t agreed with everything here but I have agreed with enough to find myself here at every new post looking up the links and seeking to think through the arguments used, to analyze both their strengths and weaknesses.

I likewise will sorely miss the comments section which itself was often an exercise in thinking straight.

If the West goes down Harry it will not be because it had to many like you who wanted to take on the devil and the deep blue sea at the same time but rather it will be because having become Theologically, ecclesiastically and culturally emasculated we laid down and bled out.

In the end, as a man, I would rather be accused of having to much testosterone then actually having a surplus of estrogen.

I hope you will re-think your frustration.

Thanks for all you did at LG. As others have said, it won’t be the same without you on the internet.

Hopefully the many fine posters here can find another site to convene at so the kinist message may continue to spread.

God Bless you and your family in all your endeavors.

Fight on, brothers, if not for your own sakes, then for your women and children!
