Carry on, if you wish, with that which fuels your fire.
My post need not concern you,
as I'm not interested in getting personal.

My participation in online conversations and fora/forums is limited to public computer stations, as my home has no computer.
So the public libraries see a great deal of me, as I am a regular at their computers.

This post is coming from one such library branch.
To walk from the door from the parking lot to the computer station table,
it is necessary to pass the bulletin board, and easy to glance there in order to see
if there is anything new and interesting.

Well, the Reverend Kevin Arnett is featured in a notice on the board,
which notice was not there yesterday.
I had never before heard of Arnett, or his "tribunal"
of which he gave public notice, within the past ten years,
about its foundation/existence.

It isn't this branch that Arnett is traveling to, but a library branch
in the same network, literally within ten miles up the same route
and into the next town over.
The notice advertizes Arnett's three-hour engagement/appearance there
as part of his tour promoting this tribunal.

Mudcatter Gnu knows who Rev. Kevin Arnett is because the Gnu lives in Canada,
and Arnett and his tribunal are of Canadian provenance;
also because Gnu reads The Tyee for its news content,
and The Tyee has for years been keeping people informed about Arnett.

For that matter,
a Mudcat search for forum threads about Arnett proved fruitful just now. Other Mudcatters have posted about Arnett in the past.

After doing some searching online about Arnett and his tribunal, though,
I am going to let the meeting happen without me.
I don't like what I hear/read;
not that there is no merit in the issues to which he draws attention,
but that Arnett seems so desperately polarized and fanatical
as to be capable of doing harm to his fellow man in the name of doing good.

This post has said very little about what Arnett seeks to expose,
nor am I going to -- it's pertinent to this topic of course.
I'm just concerned about not getting carried away and not losing balance.
Thanks for listening.
