All Mormons are liars.
Take your Explanations of Facsimile No. 3 and shove them up your lying hole.
One of the more revealing aspects of leaving Mormonism behind has been the realization that the Church does serious damage to a person's ability to make ethical decisions. Being trained to view morality as something dictated by an institution is a severe wound one has to tend to and heal, and one has to exercise one's moral muscles to overcome the atrophy that comes from living into adulthood walking on crutches.
Watching this incidence be discussed on Mormon-related spaces on the internet only reaffirms this to me. Faced with substantiated allegations regarding Bishop's behavior of grooming and abusing sexually vulnerable young women placed in his care, one finds out that the central moral tenant of Mormonism is still, "Defend the Hive!"
Hat's off to churchistrue, though. The blog post MsJack shared was refreshing.

What "Mormon-related spaces" do you visit? I ask because peacemaker is the only one I have seen claim it is all a lie on Denson's part.

To answer your question directly, I've participated on a thread at MD&D on the subject, posts among Facebook acquaintances, and followed some of the discussion on some of the reddit subs in addition to here.
As to the question of peacemaker being the standard, I'm curious why you think the threshold for seeking to defend the church is delineated by claiming it's all a lie?

Joseph Bishop did give an adulterous back rub to sister missionaries, but there is no proof that Joseph Bishop touched their private parts. The anti-Mormon efforts to ridicule the church will fail.

What do you imagine is the best way the Church could have responded when the allegations came out?
Also, do you know what grooming is?
