People thought the same thing about FairMormon's response to the CES Letter 2 years ago until I did Debunking FairMormon's Debunking.
The people that you're referring to are not my target audience. They're the ones who want to hold on to belief and who have little to no doubts.
The target audience are the fence sitters. The ones who roll their eyes when they hear "doubt your doubts". The ones who read the essays and are WTF? The ones who want to know the details and who have accepted the possibility that the Church is not true.
The ones who take a glance at FairMormon's response and say "Church is true" would have dismissed the CES Letter anyway while proclaiming "I can't deny my spiritual experiences."
My response is going to destroy FairMormon's latest crayon drawing butthurt recovery attempt. I also have a few other things I'm going to be adding to the mix.
FairMormon is not going to be able to recover as a brand after this.
