The list is long but distinguished. :-)

I voted for Scratch, Blixa, Gadianton, Darth, and Shades. I hardly even belong on such a list.

By the way, I would have voted for beastie if she had been placed on the list.

Also, I am missing Dan Vogel, Brent Metcalfe, and Kevin Graham.

Any one of these people belongs on this list long before I do.

I don't know about anyone else, but this list is meaningless without the Dude and Sethbag on it. I also agree on beastie.

The poll would only let me list ten choices.

We can create a second poll with the additional folks you suggested.

Wow. Yes. And JohnStuartMill too! And, although I have gotten along with her so poorly, and disagree with her on most everything, marg has quite a history here, and has recently returned to the Spalding fray.

If you're interested I selected:

Scratch--because his relentless pursuit of DCP is, I'm sure, a necessity for critics.
Polygamy Porter--because he seems extremely angry to me, and being angry seems to fit the bill in terms of being a critic, stereotypically speaking.
Inconceivable--No reason really.
thews--His one note game has narrowed it down to the critics disarming Mormonism because Smith may or may not have thought the Kinderhook plates were authentic ancient plates.
Stak--because he hates the shiz out of me, as they say. Hating me is priority number one for critics, or should be.
Love ya tons,
Stem


I ain't nuttin'. don't get all worked up on account of me.

I somewhat take exception to Doctor Scratch being categorized as a "critic" given that he self identifies as a member, and much of what he says strongly suggests that he leans toward the TBM end of the spectrum.

Yes, one wonders how the study and criticism of rogue apologists, or Mopologists, qualify one for the status of critic of Mormonism. There is an unfortunate imprecision in this poll.
