The Story Continues
Thursday, August 7th, 2008I would like to think that all of the weird stories relating to the Brewer vs. SSG vs. SPCK saga had been found. However, Doug, over at MetaCatholic, has furthered the bizarre events by discovering this.
There is still one question that I would like to be able to answer – why am I so interested in this? The closest connection that I have to this story is that I was working for Wesley Owen when the demise of SPCK was first announced. Other than that, I haven’t been an avid follower of CartoonChurch, nor of any of the other blogs that have since got involved, and I haven’t been in receipt of a C&D notice. Yet, since a friend of mine pointed out the attack on Dave Walker’s site, I’ve been fairly relentlessly trying to find out more information about Mark Brewer, SSG, and the original SPCK story. I even have people reading and commenting on a blog that a week ago only my parents read!
In theory, I should be writing articles on things that I know about – what it’s like to be British in Nevada, Dyscalculia (dyslexia with numbers), and the best place to hear classical music (Vixen, Sparks, NV – August 19th).
At the same time, I really like being involved with this group of people who are trying to bring justice to a case that shouldn’t have ever occurred. I enjoy reading the snippets of new information that people have come up with. I also like the feeling that someone, somewhere (other than my parents) is enjoying reading what I am writing.
I really want to know how the Brewer case ends – will he apologise to all those he has affected? Will someone counter-sue him? Or, will it just disappear into the zeitgeist? I also want to know what happens when I stop commenting on SPCK/Brewer and go back to writing about various international airports I’ve travelled through.
Any thoughts?
Oh, and just so that you don’t feel like you have just read the ramblings of a guy, living in the desert, with an empty bottle of cider in front of him, I did a little research in response to a question posted by David Keen.
can a US-based organisation be a UK charity?
So, I typed the following in to google:
can us company be uk charity
and what do you think was the fifth result out of the 331,000 it found?
For some reason, I don’t find it all that surprising.
