I was poking around the internet and found your blog, which, I have to say, I really like. I think in this particular post you’ve made some great points, especially your observation that Nichol’s critics were talking about religion and ideology long, long before accusations about “mismanagement” ever got adopted.

But, even though I’m obviously several months late, I wanted to address a couple of things. First, your statement about The Flat Hat, that “their opinion is clearly driven in large part by their months-old effort in investigative journalism to prove that the President lied about when he knew that the troglodyte McGlothlin didn’t want to give $12 million to a school that was so open to non-Christians.” Well, the only problem with that is that The Flat Hat editorial board actually wrote a staff editorial stating that they believed Nichol hadn’t lied:

So, obviously, The Flat Hat couldn’t have been “driven” by an effort “to prove that the President lied” if The Flat Hat is penning staff editorial saying he didn’t lie.

I was the only one at the Flat Hat who states he believed Nichol had lied about the email. But that didn’t stop me from writing a half-dozen or so additional columns defending Nichol and attacking his critics. (All of which you can find at flathatnews.com, or Google searching flathatnews.com with my name.) Here’s just one example:
http://www.flathatnews.com/opinions/2018/bov-nichol-caught-in-crossfire-of-culture-war

It’s kind of ironic that I, who have been called Nichol’s loudest defender this past year (especially against what I agree with you are purely ideologically-driven critics), have also been cited many times on blogs as one of his harshest critics, due to the column you quote from here. While I certainly don’t regret writing that column, as I feel it’s all true, it’s worth noting that this one column doesn’t fully reflect my views on what happened with Nichol and why he was ousted.

The bottom line is that Nichol was fired due to pressure from culture warriors and conservative ideologues who were able to overpower an otherwise well-intentioned BOV wielding withdrawn donations and bad PR as weapons. But, I also believe it’s true that Nichol gave them a large and unnecessary opening when he lied about the Sullivan email. The whole thing was so tragic precisely because it was such a ridiculous reason to lose the Presidency.

Anyway, I hope that clears things up, even so long after the fact. There are always lots of people commenting on Flathatnews.com; discussion from someone as level-headed and responsible as yourself would be a very welcome addition to the discourse. And I love the blog.
