That's like saying I am one of Titus Chu's "biggest supporters on the internet" because I have frequently acknowledged the spiritual ministry he has rendered to the GLA churches.
The difference between you and Steve is that he is attempting to provide a fair and accurate history of the Recovery in the U.S., while you refuse to admit there was anything positive in his ministry. I'm not saying either is necessarily bad, since everyone is entitled to his own views, just that as owner of the forum, you have more "power" to enforce your views, and this is why some very informative posters have decided to leave.
Let me simplify my stance -- as I have tried to communicate in the past, knowing that you do desire to provide a more accessible means for former and current members to participate in meaningful dialog, I feel that I have to be honest and relay my heartfelt opinion that these frequent "challenges" are counterproductive to your mission statement.
