I know im not going to win awards for this, and cue plenty of pro-MM flaming, but hear me out. I don't really want to get into a fight over this, because its been covered before, ad nauseam. Anyway, here goes. The first I really started getting into Moore was when I started reading SWM. I was reading it and I was gripped. Everything I read astonished me. But then only a very short way into the book, I thought. "Hmm. That contradicted what he said earlier", and then I started seeing all the tell-tale signs of liars: contradictions, no references, and points not tying into surrounding points properly. I was so confused, I started researching the points he said, to try and find out definitively, whats what, and found out myself, that at best, he took half truths and distorted them (for entertainment value I presume), and at worse, were down right lies. Then I watched BFC, and that was just as bad. Well, now i've seen enough to know he's really not to be trusted. Eventually I came along the following sites. I advise you to look at the sites below which help try and reveal the truth behind, the "truth", as it were. Have a quick read of the sites below, and then see if you still agree with him. If you do, great. I know I would of want someone to told me about these before I got so absorbed into him. But anyway, here's a few of sites, in no particular order:

http://www.hardylaw.net/Truth_About_Bowling.html
http://www.mooreexposed.com
http://www.moorelies.com
http://www.moorewatch.com

It may take a bit of reading to get through the subjective opinions through to the bare facts, but it could make you see a whole different side of Moore. There's plenty more, this is just what I could rememeber off the top of my head. Before you dismiss those sites without a read, rememeber this: The one thing everyone says about anti-Moore fans, is that "our minds are too closed to the awful truth", so while your mind is open, keep it open just a bit longer to to the possibility that Moore might not be telling the truth, with everything he says.
