I did not read but a few posts in the Pixler thread. Never even heard of him until then.
Now if I get this right all this is happening because Steve says he thinks the ultra cons should leave that Church?
What would you expect he would say?

Exactly. That is pretty much what I posted on the other thread about SP. Why is anybody shocked that an ultra con would want people to leave a church that is moving away from the long laundry list of standards / dress codes that ultra cons believe is an essential part of salvation?
Just like with 3 stepper salvation doctrine where a belief in it is mutually exclusive with accepting 1 steppers as being brothers and saved.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
