Ah... gotcha!

Philosophically, is there any reason that the Church should not use covert means and deception to gather information about its critics?

Unless you count that secret combinations passage, these is no moral imperative against such behavior is there?

Oh, I'm pretty sure that Nemesis knows who you are.

Hello,

I experienced the same "ick factor" when I learned Dr. Kishkumen had friended Mr. Simon's fake Facebook account. I think if anyone allows someone like Mr. Simon access to his or her life he or she is taking a huge personal risk. From Internet stalking to "hiring a Private Investigator" Mr. Simon says and does things that are clearly unhinged.

*Sigh*

Unfortunately, that appears to be the Mopologetic modus operandi. What a shame.

It wasn't fake, but you will believe what you want, as usual. There was and is no risk involved. I am not "unhinged."

Very interesting OP, Dr. Scratch. I'm not sure why Simon is so obsessed about finding intel on the members of this board. Strange and kind of pathetic. I would very much like to talk to his Bishop.
