Exactly Roger. That's what I'm saying based upon what the publishers revealed as their reason for firing him. He could have eliminated the inane spellings and he would still be history with that paper. Once a newspaper's editor starts calling a segment of its readers sinners, he's a goner.

The goofy acronym and spellings were just that, goofy. But it's not what got him canned. Had he said the same thing san the goofiness, he's still gone.

He didn't just call them sinners. He called them deceivers, implied they couldn't be Christian as well, used a form of a word representing Hitler's people, and he concluded with "we must fight back against the enemy".

I think it speaks for itself. If he could have written this in a civil manner saying he simply disagrees with changing the translation of the bible, he would have been fine.
