I didn’t ask him to do that. I asked him to clarify whether there was a change of policy. If the policy is that Austin, and only Austin, can do editorials, that has never been spelled out before, but I have no objection to it.

That’s an ego-driven arguement. GE and others had done SCANDALOUS articles on Baldwin. I, myself, posted articles on Baldwin and criticized him (or the CP) or multiple issues (him on the tarrifs, the CP on lots of things). Your article WAS factually innacurate, but I dont really care about that. I cared about the fact that you came in, and in one day broke rules that I had been following since this website’s founding.

(for the record, I dont know why I said 4. Only two come to mind)

Austin’s is the editor AND publisher, and therefore essentially the owner. Similarly, if GE had posted an editorial 3 weeks ago,I wouldnt have lambasted him about it—but if I differed with it greatly, I would have said so and left IPR. I will do the same to Austin if I think he crosses the line or if I dont think his statements represent me well–in this case they do. But to ask the owner, editor, and publisher of the site to NOT post editorials in pretty ridiculous,don’t you think? He sets policy, and I follow it. However, if Austin brought in some new guy without consulting the rest of us, and then that guy proceded to breaks 4 rules in 2 posts–I’d certainly make a big deal about it. As I should,and as I did with you.

But I’m out of the game now, so it’s up to you guys and Austin. However, if what I think matters at all, I’d strongly, strongly advise against editorials from anyone other than Austin.

BTW, does this mean the rest of us can do editorials now too, or only Austin?”

I was kind of wondering about this as well.

Not to mention why Trent isn’t flipping out about it. Since he couldn’t shut up about it when I did it.

If we are allowed to though, I have even more data for Chuck Baldwin I would love to share.

Wayne says to (20:11):
As I said on a TV interview in New Hampshire this morning…I’m VERY good for LP because I destroy the image of LP as being anti-religion. I’m a very spiritual person who has written books about my belief in the power of God and prayer. I am a “completed Jew” which means I took Jesus as my savior about 17 years ago. I believe the job of government is NOT to support any religion…or stuff it down anyone’s throat. I will protect the rights and freedom of speech of all religions

Do you mean 2012?
