Way back on September 25 of 2012, I started a series of posts called “Why Did You Resign (from Mormon Matters)?” where I started to explain why I left Mormon Matters and came to Millennial Star.
And then I was forced to stop blogging due to personal reasons. Recently I returned to blogging (at least temporarily) because I had recruited Meg Stout to Millennial Star to do her excellent posts on Joseph Smith and polygamy and wanted to be supportive of her.
But before I disappeared I had nearly finished part 4 of that series. (With at least one more part, possibly more, still planned.) So very soon I’ll be publishing part 4 which, as it turns out, is the single most important part of my explanation for why I left Mormon Matters.
And as with all of my opinions, I promise it will be colorful. But this one will be particularly divisive because I’m going challenge the entire paradigm of “dialogue” as currently implemented by Mormon Stories and Sunstone and similar groups. So get ready for a controversy and possibly a Bloggernacling. 😉
But since its been so long, here is your chance to review what I previously wrote:
Part 1: Introduction
Part 2: Was I DIsrupting Mormon Matter’s Real Purpose?
Part 3: The Question of Balance
