No need to wonder. It is not forthcoming, never was, and I have already said so. The only silence will be if you ask again. There is nothing to defend here. Reasonable people have no problem understanding if this was political correctness or not. Only very narrow minds don't know.
There is some very illuminating thinking in the post above.

In this thread, I have posted what most people would consider facts showing why the building permits for St. Nicholas church have been denied. Most are specific pieces of information and have attributed sources. Others have also posted information and links supporting the position that the St. Nicholas permit denial has nothing whatsoever to do with political correctness. Are these facts 100% conclusive? Of course not. Is there a high probability that the situation(s) described in these facts were major reasons for the denial of the St. Nicholas building permits? Yes. Absolutely.

In response, there has only been the unsupported allegation, repeated ad nauseum, that "political correctness" is the cause of denied building permits for St. Nicholas. There has not been not one single fact posted to support that allegation. Not one link. Not one coherent argument.

The implication of the post above is that only narrow-minded individuals would not accept that political correctness is at fault. However, those allegedly "narrow-minded" folks are posting facts. They are also asking for facts or references in rebuttal, but none are forthcoming.

Those termed "reasonable people" in the post above have "no problem" understanding the situation and clearly already "know" the answers.

So here is a summary of the post above:

"Narrow minded" people are those who provide facts and ask for facts from the opposite perspective, and who are at least open to the possibility that other, persuasive facts, might change a point of view.

"Reasonable" people are those who have already "know" the answer, without facts of their own and despite facts to the contrary.

Bizarro World, anyone?
