Will FARMS/MI/Fair review outside reviews of LDS MMM book?

Post by _Boaz & Lidia »

Now that non Mormon reviews of the LDS MMM book have began rolling in, I wonder if FMF(FARMS/MI/Fair) will begin reviewing the reviews and attacking the reviewers who do not give favorable reviews?

One that is less favorable: http://forums.mormonletters.org/yaf_pos ... adows.aspx

Incidentally, I trust that everybody understands that FARMS/the Maxwell Institute is a wholly separate organization from FAIR.

They do not share budgets, they have distinct leadership, etc.

They're just good friends, with consistent and even sometimes overlapping but different missions.

The fact that I'm actively involved with FAIR and, obviously, with the Maxwell Institute, doesn't link them together much more than my membership in the Middle East Studies Association (with which I've published and for which I've given presentations) links MESA with the Mormon History Association (of which I'm also an actively participating member).
