Moreton has allied himself with [[Brian J. Morris]] and [[John N. Krieger]].
In a 2020 web debate he hypocritically accused all [[intactivists]] of spreading lies about [[circumcision]]. He mixes up and repeatedly spreads all kinds of [[arguments pro circumcision]] although they have been refuted and debunked.<ref>{{REFweb
