"Getting in peoples faces" is what he has done for years, which is why I saw no difference between him and Joseph. To criticise poor, dishonest, shoddy and uncivil Mormon apologetics is one thing. To try to actively lead people out of their religious beliefs, in toto is quote another. As I said, I await Porter to put his real life name to his criticisms, if he is so convinced that this is a devious fraud that needs to be exposed. Is that too much to ask?
Where is Joseph getting into people faces? This is a discussion board so no one need read anything he posts. I hardly ever open any of his threads, and even threads he participates in I may only glace to see if there is anything of interest(usually not). I don't see this as getting in my face.

Do you think it's ethical for someone to set out to deliberately deconvert, and boast about those "deconversions", because he (or she) believes it will benefit them as much as it has him?
What do you see as unethical? I see people trying to get people in or out of religions all over the world.

Don't drink Fosters. And don't assume that what I say when as sober as a judge is different from what I'd say when under the influence. Except the latter condition is more likely to bring out the truth in me.
Let's play a little guessing game here, Joseph (and PP, if he hasn't gone to his Cretan Crusade), you tell me: Am I now under the influence of alcohol?
