Comments on: Tabloid Blogging http://sbctoday.com/2009/02/04/tabloid-blogging/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=tabloid-blogging A forum for Baptists to dialogue about how best to fulfill God’s calling in our lives.

Even though, if you were to give him the benefit of the doubt or at least do what a journalist does, you would confirm your sources. There is no one other than Jerry outright verfying that they had a conversation with Ascol and heard those words. Tim, aren't you doing here what you've accused others of doing? You question the validity of what is posted on another blog and then go on to quote from the comment section as if you know without a doubt that it is a fact. I have not given you any indication that I have accepted anything as absolute "fact" from Wade's blog, but you have.

Now, let me ask you something. It seems that you agree with Wade, but now you call into question comments he allows to stand on his blog? There seems to be something duplicitous about that logic. Blessings, Tim Brother Reformer,

I do not ask these questions to exhaust your patience. So, you have taken a quote from Wade's blog in the comment section from a guy named Jimmy. Have you contacted Tom Ascol to confirm this quote before posting the words attributed to him here? Brother, I don’t have to have an anti-spam word for me to be compelled gentle toward you.

But, I do believe you to be honestly seeking truth and thus I will comply. You can go <a href="http://kerussocharis.blogspot.com/2009/02/forcibly-removing-tulips-at-swbts-part.html?showComment=1233769200000#c278339371758553866" rel="nofollow">here</a>. It is the first comment in WB's second post. Dr. Ascol has been strangely silent other than his comment that you referred me to on his blog. However, the above link is to a private email he responded to. Also, notice the difference in the time stamps. The one on his blog was 2/3 and the one on WB's blog was 2/4. Blessings, Tim Brother Reformer,

Is it actually from his blog or hearsay? Read the current one-word response on his blog to a question concerning this subject in the current post comments. (The post itself is unrelated to the current issue). That doesn't sound like what you've quoted here, though, "it appears" is not an absolute statement. Where did you get the quote from Tom Ascol?

There are two sides to every story. We placed the true side out there while WB placed "Wade's World" fantasy land side out there. When confronted with his--in his mind only--sources he has refused to present them. This is a pattern that he does. If you remember, he used an anonymous source to level untrue charges against Dr. Mohler and SBTS. Did you see the Calvinist that came out against him concerning that anonymous source? Where are they now? As a matter of fact, Dr. Ascol chided him for using an anonymous source to level such a charge. What does Dr. Ascol say about his latest anonymous source? Here is his response; "<i>It appears that there was a plan to remove the Calvinist professors but that it has been, at least partly, thwarted.</i> Also using anonymous sources. The height of hypocrisy. Blessings, Tim Brother Reformer,

There are two sides to every argument. You becaome like the now defunct "Baptist Fire" when you don't. Why don’t you have the courage to allow comments on the Patterson post?
