I’m not sure everyone appreciates the difficulty of this post. Tim’s goal in this post is clearly to tell his readers not to go to those watchdog/discernment blogs. He shares from personal experience as one caught in their crosshairs and so he provides a unique perspective. Yet, how does he do this without seeming passive aggressive and going on the defensive?

I hope you appreciate the difficulty of Challies’ position and how well he states his point. He’s basically telling us “I’m not going to discernment blogs anymore, and I believe you should do as I do”. I agree.
