Oh, I'd say that as long as a thread is at least tangentally related to Mormonism or has a strong potential to become so, then it's okay to post it here.
I feel sorry for people who, for whatever reason, embrace a "paradigm" (putting the word in scare quotes because I know it bugs the poop out of some people) that results in the inability to come to terms with one's real self, so in that way, I feel sorry for Haggard. What a miserable way to go through life.
However, I have zero sympathy for those same people when they openly preach against the "sin" in which they secretly are engaged. Sure, go ahead and preach against it, but be enough of a mensch to, at the same time, admit you struggle with that same issue.
Otherwise, when the truth comes out (which it usually does) you just end up looking like a hypocrite as well as a liar and deceiver.
