BJU Art Gallery

• Response to Previous Art Gallery post. Do some research about the BJU M&G; not only can I personally attest to the validity of that statement (having toured the Gallery on an occasion), but there is considerable respect online among art historians. There are paintings by very famous masters such as Veronese, Titian, Tintoretto, Benjamin West, and many more. I would not say that such a statement is "blatantly false.” John Foxe 13:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC) off-site

• August 14, 2007. "Tracking Wikipedia's Not-So-Neutral Editors."

Sounds outrageous. It just happens to be true." — John Matzko Aug 16, 05:48 PM off-site

Story of the chicken thief

• (You may have heard the story of the chicken farmer who refused to press charges against the chicken thief because he didn't want to be associated with chicken thieves.) And there will be no sock puppetry or meat puppetry on my part. It would be nice to have an ally occasionally, but I won't stoop to creating or recruiting them. --John Foxe 11:50, 3 November 2007 (UTC) off-site

• Comment from: John_Matzko [Visitor] · http://www.matzkoscottage.com/about

There's an old story about a farmer who caught a thief stealing his chickens. The sheriff was called, but the farmer said he didn't want to press charges. "Why not?" said the sheriff. "Because I don't want to be associated with a chicken thief." Permalink 10/23/06 @ 17:34 off-site
