I think that's why its mention touches so many nerves. We realize that we were never told the whole story. We were never told about Joseph marrying other men's wives, we were never told that Joseph was accused by William Law of trying to seduce his wife, thus leading to his disaffilation and starting the Nauvoo Expositor.
It's much more messy than we were ever told.

Well, I remember that being part of the story I heard in my teen years. Are you talking about keeping Primary aged children in the dark? Which should we spring on them first, the TRUTH ABOUT SANTA CLAUS or the Mormon Expositor story?
