Dehlin’s Methodology?

Yesterday on his Facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/johndehlin), John Dehlin posted the following:

Urgent: Need specific examples of LDS apologetic ad hominem attacks for a presentation I’m preparing. Please post them here if you can. Thanks in advance!

Frankly, this leaves me both puzzled and astonished.

1- If he doesn’t have enough examples of apologetic ad hominem from his own past study, why has he been so loudly and publicly proclaiming that LDS apologists consistently engage in serial ad hominem?  His claim couldn’t be mere but ideological posturing, could it?

2- If he doesn’t have examples, doesn’t proper scholarly methodology dictate that he actually read the Review himself to get a complete and nuanced understanding of what the Review is really all about?  Is it really adequate to ask a self-selected audience to send you pre-selected data?  Talk about confirmation bias!

3- So now, not only is Dehlin openly engaging in egregious cherry picking, he’s apparently even too lazy to pick his own cherries.

Which leads to the final question:

4- Why should anyone take Dehlin’s musings on this topic seriously?
