The Emerson Avenger aka Robin Edgar Invites UUA President Bill Sinkford And All Other UUs To Dedicate Themselves To Waging Peace With Him In 2007
In light of UUA President Rev. William G. Sinkford's Holiday Message of December 13th, 2006 the following email was just sent to UUA President William G. Sinkford aka Rev. Bill Sinkford by Robin Edgar aka The Emerson Avenger. It will be most interesting to see how President Sinkford responds to it or indeed *if* President Sinkford responds to it.

I do hope we can all wage peace together. What would it take to help you be at peace with UUs?
Have a good and peaceful 2007!

I'm glad to see you read my blog. I'm always glad to have readers. And it's great that you're interested in commenting.
Your blog contains hurtful statements about people and groups I care very much about, and you've said really negative things about them elsewhere. I worry that your words don't lead to peace for you. I don't want people to follow a link to these attacks from my blog. If you'd like to post on my blog, you could post anonymously. You could also moderate your tone. I'm interested in dialogue with you, but not in fueling angry fires.
Thanks again for reading my blog!
Any hurtful statements about people and groups on my blog are almost always justified by the behaviour of those people or those groups. If I accuse a person or group of injustices, abuses and/or hypocrisy it is because they have actually said and done things to justify those accusations. In most cases when I say something hurtful about someone it is in response to something hurtful that they have said or done to me. If people or groups don't want me to say "really negative things about them" then they would be very well advised not to say or do "really negative things". . . I would not worry too much that my words don't lead to peace for me. Calling a hypocrite a hypocrite or otherwise exposing and denouncing U*U injustices and abuses is actually quite therapeutic although it would be more therapeutic for all involved if U*Us finally got around to responsibly acknowledging the U*U injustices, abuses and hypocrisy that I am exposing and denouncing and start waging peace by waging some genuine justice, equity and compassion in human relations.
:I don't want people to follow a link to these attacks from my blog. If you'd like to post on my blog, you could post anonymously.
I suggest that you review these attacks that you do not specify and ask yourself whether or not they are justified. Other U*Us attack people on their blog quite frequently and some do so with language that can be properly described as insulting and defamatory and outright abusive.
:You could also moderate your tone.
Indeed I could and indeed I will once U*Us moderate their tone just a bit. . . I have been waiting over a decade for U*Us to moderate their tone about me and indeed other unjustified victims of egregious U*U verbal attacks. If you enter into a genuinely free and genuinely responsible search for the truth and meaning behind my tone you will quickly determine that my tone is usually justified by the tone or behaviour of the people I am talking about.
:I'm interested in dialogue with you, but not in fueling angry fires.
Well as long as your own tone stays reasonable you have little or nothing to worry about. Feel free to come back and dialogue here and see how it goes. BTW The Emerson Avenger was never really intended to be a pseudonym or "handle" or become a 'persona'. The Emerson Avenger began as nothing more than the title of this blog but, ever since Cranky Cindy called The Emerson Avenger a Transcendentalist Super Hero and other people perceived The Emerson Avenger as a pseudonym it effectively became both a pseudonym and to some degree a persona.
The best way for U*Us to avoid "fueling angry fires" is to avoid saying and doing thing that justify "angry fires" because, when they do so, I usually ensure that the angry fires get lit right under their U know what. ;-) U*Us can choose between waging peace with me or waging war with me. I am hoping that UUA President Bill Sinkford will realize that the best thing that he can do for pretty much everyone concerned in this ongoing war of words is to respond positively to my lighthearted but none-the-less very serious invitation to engage in waging peace with me in 2007. The same goes for all other U*Us. Every individual U*U has the choice of either waging peace with me or allowing this war of words to continue on unabated and most likely even escalated.
:Thanks again for reading my blog!
You're welcome. I have a peek at most UU blogs from time to time. I have enjoyed reading yours.
Interestingly enough the word verification code for this comment is aplogzju which looks a lot like the word apologize. . . One of the things that U*Us are definitely going to have to do as part of the process of waging peace with me is to offer sincere and comprehensive apologies for the injustices and abuses that they are responsible for and to engage in waging some genuine restorative justice for all victims of U*U injustices and abuses. I like what Peter Bowden said above and would point out that waging peace begins at home and must be interconnected with genuinely waging justice, equity and compassion in human relations. Without justice, equity and compassion in human relations there can be and will be no peace.
I need you to respect my blog as a personal space intended to reflect on the issues of concern to me.
Please stop posting to my blog. Thanks.

For starters there are very few U*Us who I treat in a manner that is comparable to how indrax aka James Andrix has behaved on this blog. Even in those relatively few cases where there are some similarities in the way I treat certain U*Us there are also significant differences and I believe that those significant differences outweigh the similarities. I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that the topic of this thread is "waging peace" and also remind people that I expect them to put their real names where there mouth is. I would normally be be somewhat lenient with anonymous posters, particularly if their comments are on topic and pertinent, but I reserve the right to relegate any and all anonymous posts to the U*U Hole. In that James Andrix aka the indrax troll has had his posting privileges here suspended for a couple of months as a result of his incessant trolling and SPAMMING I cannot be *too* lenient with anonymous posters as it is a very real possibility that they are none other than James Androx aka indrax attempting to get around the suspension of his posting privileges. It would be much better for everyone concerned if people properly identified themselves.
However, I'm no longer amused by your spamming my blog with links to yours. Any future posts from you will be deleted.
