Because things are hopping, and there is much to write about, and I wanted to respond (briefly) to Thabiti’s rejoinder, the much beloved letters feature is going to appear next Tuesday instead of this Tuesday. Unless something else happens.
Letters on Dalrock, Tolkien, Privilege, and More
The Problem Wasn’t the Necktie: “Then why is the spirit of the age standing on your necktie?” Hmmmmm. When was the last time I even wore a tie? Well, at any rate, it wasn’t at any stinking guilt fest! ; – ) Adad Adad, yes, guilt-fests are a problem. I think we should start calling …
A Simple Title with “Letters” in it Will Suffice
Lewis the Mentor: Your recent article on privilege reminded me of some other words from Screwtape’s author: “When equality is treated not as a medicine or a safety-gadget but as an ideal we begin to breed that stunted and envious sort of mind which hates all superiority . . . Every intrusion of the spirit …
More, More, More from the Mailbag
Rage on a Short Tether: 2 Kings 19:20-21,27-28 “This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: I have heard your prayer concerning Sennacherib king of Assyria. This is the word that the Lord has spoken against him . . . But I know where you are and when you come and go and …
Letters are Better Than Fetters
The Boz: Re: Denhollander and Boz I’d like to see you apply the principles of rules-of-evidence and due-process to your statements against Boz’s previous execution of his office (such as it is, and wherever he got it) and character.

Trump, Naturally: I didn’t vote for Trump in 2016. If things continue on the current course, I can see myself likely pulling the lever for him in 2020, especially considering the neo-socialist, pro-Molech, non-binary gender alternative the opposing party is likely to put forward. CSarge Yes, I agree that this is the issue before us. …
Abettors with Letters
School Shootings: I watched the CNN Town Hall regarding the recent school shooting in Florida and I came away from that feeling even more troubled and burdened. We blame things like mental illness, lack of adequate gun control, failure to follow up on tips, etc. but in this “debate” and seemingly every other one no …
Letters Over the Transom
Hollow Soul Bullets: I do believe this is one of the finest commentaries on the issues surrounding the ongoing epidemic of public school shootings that I have been privileged to read. I must, once again, briefly comment on the links included in your post. When I saw the one highlighted as “as common and uncontroversial …
From the Mailbag . . .
Lock Her Up?: There were a cluster of letters on this same theme, which I will try to answer at the end. Thank you so much for the gift of your writing. One question in regards to your post on “the fragility of order.” I am a conservative first and foremost. I tend to vote …
Letters from Lots, Lots of Letters
The MEMO: In regards to your delightfully understated post “A Dumpster Full of Grease Fire,” I could not help but do a little further reading. Thank you for the links to the “FISA Memo” as well as the commentary from the Federalist which were included in your post; anyone who did not take the time …
