Attacking the supposed "attackers" and succumbing to the eye for an eye approach, while feeling good, goes too much against the narrative. The church gives money to FAIR and cannot be sullied by the amateurish attack pieces the TITS videos presented.
Indeed, and it was DOA and very explosive material. The Church can't touch that stuff with a ten foot pole and expect any kind of decent reception or response from nonmembers of the Church looking at such a vulgar display of Mormon hostility.
Could it be that the words "apologetic" and "apologist" is on the verge of being formally retired from the Mormon think tank? It seems there is a clear break and that Mormon apologetics is getting a make-over of some kind.
I noticed in Dan Vogel's new book, in chapter 1, he uses the word defender and defenders rather than apologists. Perhaps that's now a new buzz word. One thing seems to be clear, Mormon apologetics is beaten and down on the ground -- wounded and bleeding to death. They will have to come up with something new once they get out of the hospital, assuming they survive to tell more tales. lol
