What critics are left on FAIR/MAD?
I was just reading Shades new entry in his FAIR Exile's Blog and he mentioned that the critics (presumably from what has been called the November 5th purge) have not been reinstated on the new MAD board.
Are there any critics left posting on FAIR? Who?
I find it odd that I was included in the Nov 5th purge since I hadn't posted on FAIR for a month's time when I was banned. If I were "reinstated" today, I still wouldn't post there again. Would you?
So, what critics are left on FAIR?

Tarski and The Dude. Pantsman and askiikerr (or something like that). Sleeping Willow (at least she's a critic of DCP). Unka Dale. MHalcrow. Johnny. CKSalmon. To name a few.

Does Johnny count as a critic? He has an amazingly shallow understanding of Mormonism, even after all that time on FAIR/MAD. I'd say he's more of a Catholic apologist than an LDS critic.

He may not understand it, but he's definitely not for it.

Yeah, I guess you're right. It's funny to me that there are some critics that, even though we're ostensibly on the same said, I just don't think all that highly of. I'm sure he's a nice, sincere guy, just not one who is interested in understanding what he criticizes.

It's too bad that we can't have discussions without choosing up sides and declaring war. I have a problem with 'my side' and 'your side' and 'them vs us'. It just doesn't feel like there's ever any consensus.

Yes, you're of course correct. I'm on the side of truth, and I guess that puts me on the same side as those believing LDS who seek truth.
Of course, there are precious few critics left, as you've pointed out, to be on any side.
