Once again I'm confused. I thought I was directly addressing your argument. Perhaps I misunderstood. It looked to me as though you were trying to assert that since no one had yet to attach a dollar value to the matter that "it is not clear what the worry is about." I was merely pointing out a potential flaw in that line of reasoning.
For the record, I have no idea of the specifics of Mr. Glasebooks complaint. I have not spoken to him or anyone else about the matter. My point is, was, and will continue to be that IF a university employee was using taxpayer time and resources to advance a personal agenda then a private citizen is well within their rights to bring the matter up and have it addressed. Period.

Like always, you are now changing the argument from the one that I was commenting on, the one you gave originally. Are you now claiming that this is the basis of the Bigot Guy's lawsuit?

Lets have a look at the potential "wrong reasons:"

2. Anti corporate? Swell

4. Anti religion? Fine
5. Anti Catholic, Jew, Mormon, Muslim? Well....
6. Anti Black, Brown, Yellow? Now wait a minute...
7. Anti abortion? Stop right there! Now you've gone to far!
None of these web sites would cost the tax payer any more then the other. Since we can't attach a dollar value to any of these, I guess that it's not clear what the worry is about.

Suppose someone used a UI website for the "wrong" reasons. What is the cost in actual dollars to the tax payer? If you can't put a number on it it is not clear what the worry is about.

Keely,
It might be that some members of Christ Church feel they have been unjustly attacked with the illegal and improper use of UI property by some of its employees and want to prevent it from occurring again. Which I think is understandable. Nobody wants their taxes to be used against them in biased way. There is lots of evidence that UI employees have used UI property improperly for personal use. So it would be wise to start there, in my opinion.
I don't agree with this avenue to stop this behavior though. In part because even if true, it isn't costly or inconvenient to move off UI's network and get the same services for free or easy somewhere else. And since little financial harm was done to the person filing the complaint, it won't get anyone any money except the lawyers.
Best Regards,
Donovan

The great WalMart debate, Donovan, is not likely to be solved here on Vision, and certainly not by me. My point was that it seems an odd subject for such intense Christ Church involvement and enthusiasm.

Keely,
I think a lot of people like Wal-Mart because it provides jobs to people that have a hard time getting jobs elsewhere. It provides disposable goods at a price more affordable to people with lower incomes. And they like the idea of free enterprise.
I understand many of people's objections to Wal-Mart. I just don't understand why the people that object to Wal-Mart cannot understand they do good too, and are not lot a whole different than other super chain stores in the country. They are just bigger and cheaper, most the time.
Best Regards,
Donovan

Isn't the main question here something along the lines of "why in God's name would a church organization's leadership be so intensely drawn to a Super WalMart store on the Palouse?"
Or, conversely, "Why in God's name would a church organization's leadership, in their desire to welcome a Super WalMart, be so aggressively snotty toward those who disagree?"
