Shining a spotlight on this (and noticing which way the different HMs are reacting to Dave's ludicrous but ultimately potentially VERY toxic nonsense) is interesting ... and quite necessary and even important ... but 'melodramatic' ... I wouldn't have thought that was the most suitable description of many peoples' responses to this charlatan's cynical and fraudulent manipulation ...

Yes but I do feel you are guilty of exaggerating and sensationalising the amount of harm Dave can do and how much of a bastard you all consider him to be
He not really in a position to do a lot of harm, his Church and his beliefs get zero credibility from the vast majority. But even if some people do share Dave's beliefs then so what? I dont really feel it's my place to judge people and their beliefs no matter how much I disagree. If he wants to get drunk of the "Godka" with all his mates then he has every right to do so. He's not really doing anything different to any other preacher, or most other Christians for that matter; they all believe God can heal the sick, they all seek funding and support for their Church etc.
Anyway, I have no interest in playing moral Big Brother with myself. Dave might not have been to everyone's tastes but I enjoyed watching him and thought he was a good housemate, what he does outside of the house is his business and not mine, frankly I couldnt give a damn.
