Note how often the one or two posts that I make in one of those "I've got the goods on the bad behavior" threads is more on the theological issues on the side of it rather than the meat of the discussion.
And for me, there has been too little substantive discussion of the theological errors that gave way to so much outward unrighteousness and also to complacency in the membership. So many of the people who really want to go there are no longer here. I feel like a relic of a past era.

This comment displays how different posters have different vantage points.
OBW seems to thrive on "substantive discussion of the theological errors." He definitely invests much more thought and analysis into each post. My posts, however, are "
short, quick, and to the point," and tend to address the events of LC history rather than an analysis of LSM teaching.
Personally I think both approaches can be beneficial, and others too. Not all LC readers are of the same mold. I have known some ex-members who just could not bring themselves to post. That is fine too. They were helped by reading. Also I have initiated very few threads over the course of time, so I appreciate those like Igzy and OBW who tend to initiate discussions.
