He invades the private lives of people who are not public figures.
Does he try to goad them into dropping their cloak of anonymity?

You can't help being a cretin with your anonymity. Few can.

Oh yeah? I can be a cretin with or without anonymity!

by the way, the Tribune says FAIR is giving the Kwaku videos the boot. Seems they are abandoning their quest for delinquent youth appeal in favor of being in-line with Church expectations of appropriate behavior. Time to confiscate the switchblades, poison darts, hobnailed clubs, and crossbows.

The entire Kwaku debacle did no good for them in any area. There were probably vastly more complaints than baptisms... And if there is one thing the Brethren want even more than converts is a nice clean image of sweet goodness oozing out of the religion.....

:lol: clearly Midgley manages to do so, quite well.

What? no more whittling clubs? Or should that be whistling? My Danite history is weak.

What the freak is behind this action in the first place? Are they all freakin morons at FAIR? They lost 50% of me by bringing Bill Reel on and then the remaining 150% with the Quacko stuff.

I doubt Kwaku will care. When this coronavirus subsides, he will have his Young and Dumb business at full BYU lap dance capacity.

On assignment from the First Presidency, Elder Kevin Pearson delivered this message at the 2018 annual FairMormon conference:
Independent voices are needed in reaching out to those among us who are
struggling to find and sustain faith, and in responding to those who unfairly
criticize, misrepresent, distort, and demean the history, doctrine, and leadership of
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Well that went well didn't it Kevin? You got your independent voices, only they were a bit too independent for people with common decency.
