But such as it is, you are not representative likely of the blogs audience, it's not your thing, so you are free to your opinion. If this were a paper on his summer vacation or his favorite hobby, my only critique would be both the verbosity and the lack of brevity. However, understanding the blog and blogger, and enjoying his set-up, I find it to be a wonderfully written blog. He sets up some of the same arguments we have discussed on here, but with a broader context. For example, arguing that Apostolic Identity and claims of full truth are more tied to Ego than they are to anything else is something one can't just claim. He argued it. It's a classic persuasive argument.
