Why this section on answering critics?
Unfortunately, it is necessary for CARM and its staff to defend themselves against the false accusations often levied on the Internet. We expect this.
Some people suggest that we ignore them. Most of them we do. But, legally, when someone attacks and makes accusations we must respond...not to every single attack, but we must present a ready defense on a regular basis. This is in case we get sued we will be able to demonstrate a history of denying false charges.
Sometimes people want to challenge Matt Slick to debates and when he refuses, they sometimes accuse him of being chicken or "knowing" he is wrong, etc. Of course, these kinds of attacks are common and easily ignored. Oftentimes, CARM is misrepresented. Other times people choose to interpret a comment, doctrine, statement on CARM or in emails in the worst possible light. Accusations fly and sometimes it is necessary to bring the truth out.
Its unfortunate, but it is necessary.
