Dan I posted a comment on your article.  For the record I thought it was good but, as I posted in the comments,  I think you missed the attempt to play on the fears and biases of her readers and the political implications.

By people of her own faith would be best and the most effective, that would be best for both faiths.

What I found odd in this story is the few individuals who commented as follows, I am an active Mormon and I must apologise for the terrible way Dan Peterson responded to you.  Your blog was accurate and I see no need for such a vitriolic response.  Who are these whackos?  You have got to be a very twisted individual to write these type of things.  How is one so committed to lying that they sell their soul to achieve the goal of destroying another human?  There is a special place in hell for these type of people; I pity them, but I will not feel sorry to see them burn for their choices.
Storm Rider

When from Thy stern tutoring, I would quickly flee, turn me from my Tarshish to where is best for me. Help me in my Nineveh to serve with love and truth; not on a hillside posted, mid shade of gourd or booth. When my modest suffering seems so vexing, wrong, and sore, may I recall what freely flowed from each and every pore. Dear Lord of the Abba Cry, Help me in my duress to endure it well enough and to say, . . . 'Nevertheless.'” - Neal A. Maxwell

Common tactic for those supporting her errors to claim to be an active Mormon. You could not be an "active Mormon" and not know the errors that she wrote. Plus Dan has stackers who follow him to every site or blog upon which he posts...his sin is being too effective at what he does.

Wow her defenses include referencing CARM as an authority on accepting Mormons as traditional Christians.  Another HP super user keeps linking to UTLM.  All the time refusing to acknowledge LDS sources because they are "propaganda".

It is obvious she has no desire to get to know the Mormons, only to justify her own ignorance.

Sometimes you just gotta walk away from people like her and don't look back. Having a discussion simply doesn't work with these people.

It makes me amazed that people will still blatantly lie like that.
"It is extremely important for you to believe in yourselves, not only for what you are now, but for what you have the power to become. Trust in the Lord as He leads you along. He has things for you to do that you won't know about now, but that will unfold later. If you stay close to Him, you will have some great adventures. You will live in a time when instead of just talking about prophecies that will sometime be fulfilled, many of them will actually be fulfilled. The Lord will unfold your future bit by bit."- Elder Neal A. Maxwell
