Within the framework of a few brief factual representations, he belittles and demeans the efforts of the others. He cast aspersions on thier motives. He projects his standards on his narrow interpretation of their behaviors as though they were some inviolable norms. Kevin Randle, in his most recent book, presents the same points, more clearly explained in fewer pararaphs than used by Black. Whatever the substantial nature of the facts, they do not support the personal issues raised by Black. And if those addressed have not behaved in a manner acceptable to Black, well that is just the way life is... If, in this melee of personalities, we are going to do a better job of policing ourselves, those attempting to police will have to present themselves differently than the people they are attempting to correct... Bye... Ted..
