Cassidy, you should bring this up with Mr. Tomes. I think every writer should be open to an honest challenge. Challenges are healthy in that they confront the real issues and bring to light what is the truth.
I have tried to be fair with WL and other LC leaders with every post. I regret that I did not fairly evaluate what I was taught in the Recovery for decades. I trusted all the brothers, and some violated that trust in a serious way. No one is above the scrutiny of an honest inquiry. The Bible tells us to "prove all things, hold on to what is good." Too bad we never had such a testing spirit with LC leaders.
If you think WL's writings have been maligned in this article, I would suggest that you dialog with Nigel Tomes directly. I can say, based on my limited contact with him, that he is far more humble than those leaders which I have met at LSM and Cleveland.
