I doubt Dan's intent was to impress anyone. His friend was being openly attacked in a public forum by a man who claims to be a spiritual elder and over all others in the area of discernment.

This man railed against the elders he so carefully looked into the faces of - and ridiculed them for not having the guts to confront the so-called false prophet and his Wisdom Center teachings.

Yet at the same time, he states that he himself was near this alleged false prophet . . . but he didn't say whether or not he himself had the guts to, if nothing else, at lease express the same sentiments to this man personally as he did behind his back in a public forum. I could be wrong. I hope I am wrong. But unfortunately I've had too many experiences with the likes of him to know that he won't do it.

I'd do the same thing if my friend was attacked in a public open forum. There's nothing wrong with an open rebuke against someone who's making false charges against a friend, or any other person for that matter.
