What I've noticed is that many of these -liberal- theologians had such a gentle, easy-going demeanor. This was generally the case in the 1970's when they were simply trying to introduce error into an otherwise biblically-based school or church. Now of course, with both aberrant theologians and politicians, the attacks are much more visceral and obvious. They're not gentle or -nice- anymore and certainly not willing to engage in actual discussion. They don't want to waste time with that anymore. They simply call out, denigrate, cast aspersions and call for censure against those with whom they disagree.
