BLOG and MABLOG
Description
One of our local adversaries writes for New West, and she has given us a dog's breakfast of an article here. Rather than engage with her assertions and misinformation over all (i.e. the total effect), or with her ghoulish willingness to trample over victims and their families so long as it enables her to get a shot in at Christ Church, I will set myself a somewhat different task. The first comment on that blog article asks rhetorically and somewhat triumphantly -- "what factual error has Joan made?" And so I will simply content myself with a list of her factual errors (excluding any factual errors about other controversies, like the issue of zoning and boarding houses).
1. Joan says, "In April of 2005, two months before Steven's arrest, Sitler's home church in Colville, Washington, Emmanuel Presbyterian Church, informed Doug Wilson of their knowledge of Sitler's offenses." What actually happened was that as soon as I found out, I told Steven Sitler's parents that they need to inform their pastor, which they did. Immediately after this, I called their pastor, Jack Bradley, who is a friend of mine, to fill him in as well. So we did not find out from Steven's home church; it was the other way around. Joan's factual error number one. There are seven more.
2. Joan says, "Doug Wilson . . . claims on his blog that he notified a meeting of the Christ Church Heads of Households in November or December of 2005." What I actually did was notify them in writing at the parish level Heads of Households meeting in November, and then again at the church-wide Heads of Households meeting in December. This second verbal report is noted in the official minutes of that meeting. So I don't claim I did this "in November or December, gosh, I don't remember exactly." Rather, there is written documentation and proof that I reported on the situation in detail in both November and December.
