You questioned that legitimacy; I defended it.
It makes no sense to characterize WTS's decision to let the professor go as a "private" decision. It was very public the instant they announced it. Hundreds of churches and thousands of presbyterian church members are interested in the orthodoxy of WTS's professors. And rightly so.

We are in agreement that WTS decision was not a "private matter".
We disagree as to whether independent WTS has the legitimate authority to determine orthodoxy (what is confessional and what is not), and base faculty decisions on such independent determinations.
I’m still waiting for any argument on the nature of independent authority in the matter of confessional determination.
That is the distinction with a difference, IMO.
