Can't remember. I know I thought of it as I started reading it. It was pretty clear. People often complain about certain groups based on the very things they often do themselves. Its common. No big deal. Just thought I'd point it out since no one here seems to be getting that.

That's what I thought you meant. I am a hypocrite in many ways, but that does not invalidate my view of apologetics.

Then we're seeing eye to eye. I didn't say it invalidated anything. I'm glad you all have an awful view of apologetics. Someone has to. That's how life goes.

Awful view? Nah, not really. There are some really good people involved in apologetics, such as Kevin Barney, Brant Gardner, and David Bokovoy. It's the crappy apologetics and the mean-spiritedness I think is awful.

Then we're more in agreement than anyone imagined, I'm sure. I also don't care for the crappy arguments and mean-spiritedness that permeates the hearts of many here. I hope better for them.

I can agree with that. And I think there is a fair amount of both among critics.
