I’ve had a day now to reflect on the passing of David Wales from our BBS. Starting with Zap’s emotional tribute and obituary for David, followed by the many words of praise from other members of the BBS, I was moved to action.
As with many visionaries, David in his short BBS life was ridiculed, criticized, scorned and ultimately crucified for his words and actions. This is not a surprise, as when you look back through history there are many instances of great men gone before their time, only to have their words come back to drive a cause and lead a movement.
When I re-read the threads by and about David, I noticed something important. The usual BBS antagonists had come together to support David, despite their historical differences. Their belief in his words had brought them together in a forum where otherwise they would have been at war. He had reached inside them and healed them. How can we not support that?
So with that in mind, and in hopes of having Reverend Zap take the reins and lead us to the promise land, I give you the Church of David Wales.
All are welcome.
