Firstly, a warning. Please do not watch either video we’re linking to here, if you’re offended by strong language.

AVfM recently organized a gathering of MHRAs in North Carolina, mostly from the United States and Canada, some from elsewhere. Three days ago AVfM published a piece with a link to a two-minute-long video (recorded during the retreat) which some have found distasteful – among other criticisms – and have criticised AVfM for publishing it. The video is accessible via the second link in the piece.

AVfM have just published a video (43:25) of Paul Elam’s strong defence of the original video. It’s a robust, heartfelt, and impressive defence, and includes strong criticisms of the people Paul terms ‘coffee shop MHRAs’, who we would refer to as ‘keyboard warriors’.
