[Vision2020] attacks, gossip, and fairness

[keely emerinemix]

I've been taken to task offlist by people angered at my earlier comments 
regarding J Ford's posting of church support for Doug Farris and his wife's 
anniversary trip.  I'm sorry that people feel I've been unfair to J Ford.  I 
disagree.  And I'm sorry if it seemed to them that it was cowardly of me to 
respond only after Doug himself responded.  Again, I disagree.

To respond to J's post without waiting for a response from Doug, the subject 
of it, would have just promoted more gossip.  Doug's response included J's 
post and gave as much information about what was going on as J's.  My 
waiting until Doug wrote was to ensure that gossip didn't continue; if he 
was OK discussing it online, then I was.  If not, I would have written a 
much more general reprimand, without details, and if J's post was factually 
wrong and corrected by Doug, I would have written even a stronger one.

J, I know you to be a decent person, and I do care how you feel.  I didn't 
like what you did and felt that it deserved to be called out.  That's all.
