Warren Throckmorton

Typical NARTH. They don't like the message so they try to shoot the messenger.

I found it curious that they did not print the letter from the National Black Justice Coalition, which also condemns them.

By the way, who is sojourner? Do these NARTH people have names, are or they ashamed of who they are?

On a final note, I thank Dr. Throckmorton for speaking out against NARTH on this issue.
 

Let me get this right. Anonymous "Sojouneer" is challenging his/her blog readers to "stand up and be public" with stories of "gay intimidation?
 

Warren - I cannot identify myself but I am livid that NARTH has squandered any credibility it had with shameful defenses of reprehensible articles on its website. I suspect you are getting much grief over your sane and responsible disagreement. Hang in there.
 

This from the NARTH website:

"NARTH Disclaimer: NARTH does not support nor endorse comments made on the public blog. The blog is a free expression of ideas and issues on the topic of unwanted homosexuality. All posts are monitored before being placed on the blog. No hate speech will be allowed. However, diverse but respectful, opinions are welcomed."

Does this mean they DO or do NOT endorse "jjohnson's" announcement that the article has be pulled? Do they or do they not endorse Sojourneer's comments on NARTH's behalf in defense of the Schoenewolf article?
 

First they post it. Then they defend it. Then, pull it. Now they are defending it again. My head hurts.
 

We express objections to Schoenewolf and Sojouneer at NARTH says,

"Tell your stories here please stand up and make these attacks public. By making it public you are demonstrating the intimidation is not going to work. If we are silent, it will only get worse and may become violent later."

Come on. Didn't he/she read any of the coverage of the completely peaceful protest in Indian Wells? Just a bit PARANOID, don't you think?
 

From their blog:

"NARTH values diversity of opinions and freedom of speech, and encourages individual writers."

Are they JOKING?
 

I posted this on the NARTH Blog:

With all due respect, Jennifer, there is a difference between a blogger from ex-gay watch posting an abusive, threatening rascist comment to DL and a NARTH article which looks at the "sunny side" of slavery.

The former is a peripheral person in this debate and was "kicked off" ex-gay watch after his comments were exposed. The latter is a professional and expert.

I understand feelings are running high. I think this is a mistake to politicize this process. We have an identity as a scientific organization which is weakened by the poor comparison made above.

Lets blog about science, let's post articles on science.

The situation has gone on much too long. It is unbecoming and unseemly. I call on NARTH to take the concerns raised about the Schoenewolf article seriously and decisively.
