Responding to Charles Davenport Jr.'s charge of cowardice.

A few days ago, local columnist and conservative apologist Charles Davenport, Jr. invited me to engage him in a pro/con for publication on his new website the Greensboro Guardian. Less than ninety minutes later, I accepted Davenport's invitation as a reply in the same thread were he issued it (he didn't leave any other contact information as I did in my acceptance).

Although I did not hear from Davenport, a few days later he writes that I "declined" his invitation, as he "suspected [I] would," he adds. He calls it "cowardice."

Davenport may not have seen my response, although that seems unlikely, but to say that I declined is just flat wrong.

I repeat my acceptance of Davenport's challenge, maintaining my initial preferences that it happen in a forum that allows public comment (his site or elsewhere) and that it be in type larger than the microscopic font currently deployed on Charles' website.

I'm even more eager now, because if I'm going against someone who cannot get his facts straight, it's going to be a cake walk.
