LETTER: Never wrote that stuff

In response to Ms. Harman’s letter in this Sunday’s editorial page. I cannot recall the content of the letters written to the editor by Hans Neumann, Ed Torrence, Ray Anderson and Leah Madison, so I am not aware of why we were “lumped” into a category. I don’t believe that the letters that I have written “proclaimed” me a Christian and I never wrote that I “hate” my neighbors whoever they may be.

If Ms. Harman would be more specific as to what I wrote to the editor for which she wishes to take me to task, instead of “delivering a sermon,” then I would delight in making an attempt to clarify any point I have tried to make. I have NEVER addressed the Coeur d’Alene anti-discrimination law. I NEVER wrote that I was “ashamed” of any biblical passages or of Christ’s word. I may be right or I may be wrong about a particular topic, but I believe that the Managing Editor of The Press knows firsthand that I will cordially discuss, defend and debate my views of the topics that I write about face-to-face with anyone regardless of their point of view.
