Well, whether its tit for tat, or a response to something of more substance, to be critical of the "attitude" and the approach of those involved with the conservative resurgence, if it was wrong, then it seems that responding in kind would be too. But that kind of hypocrisy was rampant in the SBC prior to the conservatives coming along. And if you think that sort of thing wasn't going on in the SBC prior to the conservative resurgence, you're naive. Moore's theology reflected that of the people in the pews who make up the SBC and all of its various parts, a fact that has been confirmed a thousand times, on every level of convention organization from the local church to the national convention. At any rate, whether moderates accept his apology, or remain critical and bitter, will make little difference. The SBC is well beyond the point of acknowledging, or responding to, the criticism of the few remaining moderates.
