I would like to answer one question here that was raised over in the World cafeteria, now that the sweeping up over there must be started. The question was raised as to whether Steve or I have backed away from the argument of our little booklet. First, I would like to answer the … [Read more...]
Me and Steve
The worldmagblog food fight apparently continues, although everyone appears to be almost out of ammo. Steve Wilkins found out about the fracas after it had been going for several days, and sent a statement I will include below to worldmagblog, which they posted under a separate … [Read more...]
My Relationship With World
I think it can fairly be said that I am (and remain) a friend of World magazine. I have a link to the magazine off to the left, as you can see, and my wife and I are subscribers. I used to be on the masthead a number of years ago, and have written for the magazine before. Canon … [Read more...]
Son of Can’t Tell the Players
Tim Rigsby was a late-comer to the "slavery conference" controversy here in Moscow, but has tried to do some tub-thumping to help generate opposition to our next history conference (which is not on slavery, just like the last one was not on slavery). Our next history conference … [Read more...]
Can’t Tell the Players Without a Scorecard

In the latest edition of World magazine, just out, a short article has appeared on the flap surrounding the booklet Southern Slavery As It Was. In that article, I was quoted (accurately) as saying that this was an issue where we deserved the lump on our head. This being the case, … [Read more...]
Not Fooling Anybody
One of the demands of any polemical exchange is the demand of naming. In every dispute, both sides always want to define the nature of the dispute. This need to name properly is not optional for the party that is in the right. Everyone has to do it. But when one of the parties is … [Read more...]
Hostility and Discrimination
In the alternative universe of some, mere assertion substitutes for argument. An assertion that Christ Church, NSA, and other ministries, should start "obeying the law," is enough to persuade a certain kind of mind that we must not have been obeying the law. But of course, in a … [Read more...]
Takes the Breath Away
Bob Dylan once said that you don't have to be a weatherman to tell which way the wind is blowing. Seeing that there is a concerted campaign of harassment against private education in Moscow is about as difficult as one of those test-your-smarts questions in kids' magazines. Three … [Read more...]
