I challenge anyone to review Bob's postings of November 1 and point out how
I have taken any comments out of context or attempted to twist their
meaning. I would be happy to entertain your comments privately (or on the
list, if you prefer). Brad Jones has done so, and I have responded to him
privately. If someone believes I have made a personal attack on Bob, rather
than simply challenging the views he has publicly stated, I ask you to
advise me on the specifics, so that I have the opportunity to respond,
rather than make a general allegation. I would be happy to discuss any of
the issues anywhere, anytime, and I offer the BSA-Uniforms group,
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BSA-Uniforms as a forum that never tires of
uniform discussions.
