Maybe that's presumptuous, but I believe it.

Nigel Tomes gets great reviews on this board, and never seems to get any of the backlash. I am alone in complaining that his papers are less and less pertinent (at least to me) and have suggested in my comments that he tackle other issues, like deputy authority, that became fetters to hold members in fear in an abusive system.
Indiana, however, has tackled head on the rotten practices at LSM and its local affiliates. He has traveled in order to network and interview former members, many of them well-respected leaders in the movement at one time. He has done his best to portray and decipher the events of LC history relevant to all of us. He has "pressured" the leadership for decades to repent and come clean with respect to himself and others, exposing the hypocrisy which grips the system.
I am surrounded by other former members who "remember the good old days" and look to find something similar for their lives. Indiana is not alone. We all have our own journey. I cant agree with the comment that he only uses this forum as his soapbox. If that is true, then Tomes, Myer, and others are more to blame.
