Shlama all--
I don't know what 99% of the last 12 posts here have to do with me. You should change the thread name.
As for Trimm, I have not said anything that cannot be proved absolutely from multiple witnesses, including his lack of teshuvah, as this is what Torah requires. Calling something bad and lashon hara are two different things. To not call this bad is endorse it as good, and a false report can just as easily be about sweeping unpleasant details under the rug. I believe in mercy with repentance, not "sloppy agape".
Incidentally, while I blame Trimm for a lot of things, I don't think he plagiarized the Horribly Ruined Version (HRV). I think it is so terrible that it must be all his own work. Then again, I don't have a copy of the Way International's version to know for sure. Still I don't care WHY it's worthless. I just know that it is.
