What about Kwaku's claim that the best answer to LDS critics is increased Mormon insolence and not reasoned apologetics? Is he right that Mormon insolence causes critics to fall apart?

I think you have something here. If the evidence is not on your side, and the law is not on your side, pound on the table. In this case, punish anyone who gives you the kind of attention and scrutiny you do not want.

DCP was a master of a different version of this: kill the conversation if its logic leads to the wrong place.

Or just ban the posters who offensively ask him clarifying question to which he knows will damn and condemn the church if he is forthright and truthful with the answer. Apologist thrive in the sanctified hollow echoing halls of inbred Mormon academia research and thought. Only apologetic approved sources are allowed. If in agreement, that is discussion. If in disagreement that is banishable. Such a cozy little world of "reality."

I thought Kwaku acquitted himself reasonably well when he appeared on Mormonism Live last spring.

But this latest series from Midnight Mormons indicates they feel Kwaku did not fare so well and so a hyper-critical response is required.

It is strange that in return for hosting Kwaku and treating him with courtesy and respect, their response is to call me a liar with blood on my hands.

I guess it’s hard to please some people.

Yeah the blood on your hands has me still scratchin my head for sure. In that case, due to Mountain Meadows all Mormons are murderers. Every time a bishop sexually assaults someone, every Mormon is a sex perv for sustaining the local leadership. I mean, that they cannot grasp the problem with this is most telling!

That was pathetic and RFM and Bill should be delighted they have to resort to such nonsense.

Skimming the Youtube comments suggests even their fans saw through the ploy. Oops.

Yeah if I was a commenter and I supported their weird thinking, THAT would be totally embarrassing. It does not surprise me at all that their own group is disagreeing with their redneck Mormon thinking.

I've cracked the Midnight Mormon formula:

1) Find a hyperbolic ex-Mormon reddit post from 8 years ago, something like "Mormons have blood on their hands"
2) Pretend to be outraged
3) Turn it around and say actually, it's ex-Mormons that "have blood on their hands."

It's a very nice variation of the playground, "I know I am but what are you?" A real stroke of genius from Cardon.

Is there not even one brave soul from Interpreter willing to defend the faith against amateurs Bill Reel and RFM? They're really putting it all on Cardon and Kwaku?

How about any of these fine gentle folk? Bueller? Bueller...?

I’ll take them all on!

“You mean you’re going to fight one hundred men?”

“Certainly. Tonight, less than a hundred would be far too few!”

Consig,
I suggest a blanket invitation broadcast to save time. Be sure to list everyone at FAIR, MI, Interpreter, and all who have commented on Sic et Non and Interpreter blogs within the past 12 months.

And mention them all specifically by name so they feel special and invited. That is a great idea.

I will close by reading the Provo phone book just to make sure no apologist is overlooked.
