I take issue with the word "insinuate". That's a word you use when you're attacking someone behind their back, gossiping about them, slyly or subtly trying to do some sort of behind-the-scenes stage setting so people don't notice. When you insinuate something, you're playing dirty politics, elevating rhetoric above fact.

What FAIR is doing is completely above board and transparent. FAIR has severe issues with many aspects of the DVD, including it's claims of being inspired truth, and the author throwing firesides in church facilities. So, the FAIR folks put all their gripes all together and sent them to the author, having first obtained his agreeement to respond by a certain time. The author did not respond, and FAIR published their gripes.

My guess is that the author simply realized that FAIR wasn't going to be fair with him, and chose to disengage.
Well again, he has not disengaged. He is engaging FAIR here. Yesterday (Wednesday 9/3), he stated "look for my complete responses to these several articles on my website at BookofMormonEvidence.org for a more ‘balanced’ understanding of the FAIR reviews in the next few days."

I look forward to reading his responses.
