Greed, Jealousy, or Sex?

So again recently, the #FakeNews blog, Pulpit and Pen, published another article about Pastor Greg Locke.  Naturally, there were major inconsistencies with the truth. Naturally, the same exact pattern was followed as before.  But it made the Rifleman wonder... why? Why repeat and rehash the same trash?

Some possible explanations come to mind...

#Mancrush syndrome.
Is it possible that an admin (or admins?) of PP have a homosexual crush on Pastor Locke?
Perhaps. The soy-boy faces of a couple of the Gamma admins certainly would not rule out this possibility. It is the Rifleman's understanding that closet gays do sometimes pronounce their love of another man in this manner. 

Follow the money.
Generally speaking, this can be a good starting point for investigating motives. Indeed, this is the assertion of one response on the publication:
Somebody told you that somebody said that somebody else told them and that makes it a fact. [Admin name redacted] can't raise $250 dollar be on the ballot for SBC President, so he denounces and attacks them. Can't reach the people the way Greg Locke or Beth Moore so again he denounces. See the pattern?
This is not the first time PP has been accused of chasing dollars with their "polemics" reports.

Jealousy.
Perhaps PP is jealous of the platform.  Following are screenshots of the followers of Locke and PP - both from Facebook and Twitter.  PP's Twitter platform has only 26% of the following as does Locke. 

PP's Facebook platform has less than 15% of the following that Locke has:

Indeed, this explanation - jealousy - and possibly added to greed, as mentioned above, seems to explain things perfectly.  In fact, one can almost see the seething admins of PP building in their anger and jealousy in the week prior to the publication. Here are screenshots of it, please note how many interactions the respective pages had:

14,000 reactions on Locke's page from the shared YouTube video. Only 32 reactions on PP's page.  Hell, the Rifleman got 97 reactions on his last FB post... and only has 1500 or so friends there. 


Summary
It really leans toward jealousy and / or follow the money. Don't count out the #Mancrush angle. Regardless, it's always good to understand the likely motives of an author.

The Rifleman's motive for this one?
Simple.
Observation. 
The "Recce" in "Recce Rifleman" is short for reconnaisance.
