Tex will now have to blame both the authors of DOM and SWK biographies for these "lies".

I'm not doubting or arguing against the long and arduous process ... it’s an essential component of the process! However, the actions of the twelve are scandalously mischaracterized as being unbending and even heinous. This simply isn't true. Their searching and questioning was essential.
When the moment came for SWK to act prophetic -it was SUDDEN; it was powerful and decisive. It was inspiration and most decidedly instantaneous confirmation. For support was unanimous and unflinching.
