It is sad. They do like to bully people. I found a blog entry from a mom who had some concerns about the Pearls although she was not against them by any means. This was in 2006 when people were boycotting HomeSchoolBlogger over the Pearls. Reading the comments is surreal. She asks questions and the Pearl followers keep accusing her of attacking a man of God and being divisive. Eventually, she became very anti-Pearl.
