I don't like playing the role of wet blanket, but it's unseemly to post photos of the man's family, isn't it?

Additionally, it's possible that I'm misremembering, but was it mentioned in another thread on this forum that SGW had some troubling mental health issues? That faint recollection just crossed my mind, and if it is a true recollection, then I'm a little concerned about the content of this thread.

Just throwing a couple of concerns out there.

I agree. Leave the family out of it. Someone should poke him?

You beat me to it, KA. I agree completely.

I'm guessing from "In Sacred Loneliness: The Plural Wives of Joseph Smith" by Todd Compton?

It's an interesting question especially when said story is also published alongside a great deal of the author's LDS work including an essay on "modesty" in which being careful about what one posts and reads online is highlighted.
