Maybe "savage his character" is too strong. But some people are downright disrespectful, saying thigs like "McConkie's doctrine." I've seen him put down as kind of a loose cannon. My only point is that it wasn't that long ago that apostles were considered pretty much infallible and this quality of fairly widespread criticism (by and large generated by what he said about the priesthood ban, so it's understandable) is new. Ironically, my true feelings are that I applaud those members who practice the faith but have made a consciencious decision that they think this was wrong from the start.
