Hi Ed,

I like this so far...will have some time to work on quotes (and a wordsmithing suggestion or two) soon...thanks for inviting me. riverguy42 aka WNDL42 (talk) 21:30, 16 January 2008 (UTC)


 * You are a rare find: someone who disagrees agreeably. I really like working with you. :-) --Uncle Ed (talk) 21:09, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Ed,


 * 1) I really like the way you are presenting Moon's views, that being said...


 * 2) I'm not sure this is not WP:OR, as much as I like your prose. Are you going to add a few sources to it to beef it up? If it's going to go into Wikipedia I think you will need to cite some supporting statements.


 * 3) I really need to say, for the record (lest my praise of you me misconstrued as support for Rev. Moon), that I think you are a credit to your faith, an asset to the Church and a friend to Rev. Moon. I admire your ability to resist (for the most part) getting too fired up when Moon critics (and I am vehemently critical of Rev. Moon for "aiding and abetting" the neoconservative "straussian liars" of Team B)....but I am also, on reflection, ever so slightly softened in my appraisal of Moon and his propagandist media...I think that he unwittingly "signed up" to be a mouthpiece for dark forces he did not understand, he has been "used" as a down-level "tool" according to the "School of Leo Strauss". I sincerely hope Preston Moon succeeds in undoing some of the damage that the Washington Times and the rest of the "neocon echo chamber" have done to America and the world. Only time will tell...but if you will coninue to respect honest and sincere critics of Rev Moon on the basis of the effects of his activities, rather than on characterizations of "Rev. Moon the human being", then we will continue to work well together. I would note that Rev. Moon has said "my words are powerful, do not be afraid to use them". I believe that whatever Rev. Moon may be, he and his words are "part of the plan", for better or worse. I think it's the latter, but what the hell do I know? Feel free to edit or delete these comments as you see fit...they are mostly for you in any case. riverguy42 aka WNDL42 (talk) 02:02, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
