Very true. Clearly, many of them have ratcheted-down their intensity since you-know-who left, but a few of them still lurk in the shadows, so to speak.

"Defending it"? Praxeas. Please. Just listen to how that sounds!
Why should they have to "defend" the apostolic message
on an apostolic forum?
I don't blame anyone at all who felt like leaving. Most of us come to an apostolic forum for edification and fellowship, not for continual head-butting, nor to "defend" the apostolic message from the attacks of ex-apostolics and anti-apostolics. That gets real old after a while.
