You said:
And, no, Rick did not use the expression, "rabid opposers of the Watchtower", which you nicely put into quotation marks. He used these two expressions, "one rabid opposer" and "Is that rabid, or is that rabid?"
The first paragraph of Ricks post, so that you can see what Rick said:
"Daniel, thank you again. I suggest you save a copy and display it on your site. I forgot to also state that I suggest everyone download the
JPG graphic scan of this letter
immediately. The moment rabid opposers of the Watchtower see this link and when they are able, will
somehow pressure the server administrators to not carry this file. (I've saved a copy as a backup. ;-)"
Do you see it Friend? Do you see the four words "rabid opposers of the Watchtower" in this paragraph? Count in 36 words, the 37th is rabid, and continue from there. Note the plural opposers, not one person, but many.
In answer to your other questions, yes, Rick was wrong, based on his own FPP, and not on if the term fit the situation. This doesn't mean that I think any less of Rick, just his FPP.
