McCain:
The First Amendment does not apply at blog sites, they are all moderated, in varying degrees. I’m saying the editors of this blog would be well advised to exercise a bit more responsible oversight re. the comments posted here. Kind of what I already said. I’m totally for the ordination of women, just asking (sic) anyone. [insert big eye roll here]
Vehse:
Paul, the suggestion would be mutual except that your posts on BJS and the other Lutheran blogs provide readers the best opportunity to see just what kind of person currently works as Publisher and Executive Director of Concordia Publishing House and calls himself an “LCMS pastor.”
Wallenstein:
And yet you never allow anyone to post on Cyberbretheren the kinds of comments you regularly post on other people’s blogs. Editor McCain: Why not raise the issues in private with the LCMS pastors who run this site. Thanks.
More Wallenstein:
The LCMS as an organization has way too many internal problems in order to be effective. Most of the blog postings are negative. Where’s the good news? Steadfast, ALPB and Lutherquest have convinced me that the LCMS is full of mean-spirited pastors who are constantly at each others throats. Look at Pastor McCain argue in public with Pastor Scheer and with other “Confessional” pastors over on ALPB. Embarrassing. Blogs such as this one have convinced me that the LCMS is a sick organization that needs to be reformed. Koinonia cannot happen soon enough. Call us laymen impatient, but please consider that we have only been waiting 40+ years for the LCMS to re-tool. Ok, carry on………
Rev. Paul T. McCain : I wish they would be more active, and I’d suggest that Carl Vehse be disinvited from bloviating all over this forum.
Timothy Shenks: What’s this with “they” being more active, as if you don’t know who “they” are? Rev. McCain, you know full well that the BJS webmaster is the same person who administers some of your own personal websites.
Wallenstein: Would Pastor Harrison please rein in Editor McCain. He is making a lot of enemies here and over on ALPB. This onetime Pastor does not reflect well on the public image of CPH. The LCMS pays him handsomely to blog all day. HE is yet another reason why I refuse to give a penny to District or Synod.
The “Willow Creek Lutherans” shun CPH materials in favor of Willow Creek (Duh!). “Confessional” Lutherans are your biggest customers, and you spend hours insulting them on various blogs. How pastoral is that? Way to alienate your customer base, Editor McCain.

Clyde Nehrenz:
I conclude from all of Mr. McCain's entries on Luther Quest since he imposed himself here, that although holding the prestigious position of Publisher at CPH he is, as a person, simply a nasty little man.
McCain:
Oh, now Clyde, there you go again . . .
For whatever reason, you have spent decades slandering and defaming and bearing false witness against faithful pastors and teachers of our Synod, so you'll have to excuse me if I do not pay much attention to your vituperative remarks here.
