Just have to put in a word on this:  Please know that Mark's rhetoric 
does not match all Christians, nor even all conservative Christians; I
would say it does not even match most.   I am a Christian, but I well
know that things can easily happen with/ to computers that allow it to
bring up wrong things without you promoting it.  Like you, I believe in
teaching internet safety and website evaluation as a matter of common
sense, not "hysteria and overreaction".

Hi folks. 

I have been sitting on some email messages that I exchanged with Mark
Lounsbury, the so-called computer expert who told the jury in Julie's
case
that she had intentionally accessed these sites.

Now that the motion for a new trial has been granted, I have chosen to
make
these public. You can read them on a blog written by Karoli, another
person
who has been active in the background on this case.

Here is the URL:

(And no, I am not just sending you here so you can read her statement:
"Nancy is a brilliant and passionate woman, dedicated to educating
others
about safe internet use without hysteria and overreaction." And no,
the
image is not of me. ;-))

But here is a taster of the emails from Mark:

Early on in my career I was lost. I didn¹t know what to do about
people¹s
inhumanity to people. Then I came home from work one morning and turned
on
the TV. One of those bible thumping shows was on and I watched it. I
took
one thing away from the preachings, KEEP THE FAITH. YOU and the rest of
the
herd have NOT done so. YOU have LOST the FAITH. You choose to accept
the
lies, the evil: FEEL THE POWER OF EVIL! You have decided to violate
the
COMMANDMENTS. For what I ask. I don¹t have that answer because I have
the
Faith. I do not judge. I seek the TRUTH, be it in my personal life or
for
humankind.

I DARE you to look me in the face, to SEE what GOD sees: the FACTS. I
dare
you to continue to JUDGE ME! I ask GOD to show YOU the TRUTH, to have
JULIE
AMERO CONFESS the TRUTH. I Know that will never happen but, maybe I¹m
wrong?
Feel free to share this with the world. I invite the ignorant to test
my
FAITH.

Read on, there is more.

This entire incident has been the most bizarre affair I have ever been
involved with. 

Nancy
