We feel that Melinda Tankard Reist, in having her lawyers threaten defamation proceedings against Jennifer Wilson, demanding an apology and withdrawing material, as well as having Jennifer pay for Melinda's legal expenses, is trying to stifle open and frank debate on the internet, as well as Jennifer Wilson's right to free speech.
If Melinda Tankard Reist truly has the courage of her convictions and her faith, she would engage in meaningful debate with Jennifer Wilson, rather than attempting to silence her through legal actions, which are completely disproportionate to any offence Jennifer Wilson may have caused.

Totally agree. Cant believe this is happening in this day and age. Very disappointing behavior.
So tired of people using lawsuits to control the narrative. Let jennifer speak!!!
STOP THE BULLYING. Let the debate happen out in the open like it should.
Legal threats just prove you have no real argument. Just answer the questions and move on.
Ridiculous to try and silence someone just because you dont like what they have to say. Speech should stay free.

If you are a public figure you have to deal with criticism. Using lawyers to shut people up is weak.
