Straying from the topic is a universal defect in the blog/comment world. My goal, and it is a goal I take seriously, is to stay on topic. I don’t wish to offend anyone. I am trying to be very careful and methodical in my discussion of doctrine and the Book of Mormon. I want to keep the topic limited to the scriptures/topics under scrutiny.
There are certainly worthwhile side issues. I just don’t think this is the appropriate blog for them.
