MikeWaters is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Mormon critic: Weisberg

A guy from the spectator called him an insect.

So I did a search. Does he look like an insect?

I don't know if he looks like an insect, but he does look like he smells something foul and is trying to be too polite to say something.

I was going to respond to Weaselberg on slate's website, but this guy basically plagiarized my mind. Nothing left to say.

What is the Spectator? If it's the grease spot left from the once reprehensible and then bankrupt American Spectator nothing more need be said. He refers to the "Bagel Times"? Is that the New York Times. If so, he's an anti-semite.

No. As you know, I'm asking whether it's HIS code for Jew.

One reason Waters is such an able foil to SeattleUte is he understands the enlightened side so well. Is he a closet apostate?

Does the fact that SeattleUte refers to himself as SeattleUte in the third person show that SeattleUte is but a personna and not one in which the man behind the Seattleute curtain is fully invested?
