MM's personality is over the top, that's for sure. However, there's quite a distinction between having an annoying (or even offensive) preaching style and being doctrinally incorrect.
I followed MM on twitter for awhile, but he posted so much I finally "unfollowed." He's passionate and doesn't understand why everyone else isn't doing everything that he's doing. LOL!!!! My husband attended one of his boot camps a few years ago and found it life changing. I understand the frustration, too. When you're giving 150% of yourself to a cause, it can be hard to accept other people giving only 10%. (speaking of time and energy here; not money)
One thing I deeply respect: His ideas about churches getting out of their walls, getting their hands dirty and giving back to the community. For a lot of people who are accustomed to trying to win more tithes-payers, MM's methods are quite the culture shock, and I think it's a much needed jolt.
