I was struck by a few other comments: Heal: The contraction [at the Maxwell Institute] began almost a decade ago under Noel Reynolds, who realized that it was no longer (and never really was) feasible to operate the Institute with strategic deficit year on year. Since that time we have been trying ...

Mike Parker notes that, even though he was unemployed, he was still throwing away money on a FARMS subscription: I've been a FARMS subscriber for at least 20 years. I've never been wealthy and hence have never been able to donate any amount of substance to FARMS/NAMI. I wished I could have (at least...

Thanks very much for the update, Tom, and for the link to that old Mormon Dialogue & Discussion thread--quite a blast from the past! I bet that Heal's appointment as Director is a huge blow to Dr. Peterson, since Heal was viewed as one of the key "traitors" who helped bring about the downfall of "cl...

The regular posters will need someone else to attack. Well, they still have the Maxwell and non-literal believers. Yes: this is the key point. Dr. Peterson used to crack jokes about how he couldn't resist the "message boards," and that he was like an alcoholic wandering past an open bar--he just co...

He declares that "Neville-Neville Land" is "sadly necessary" and "invaluabl...

With Mike "The Minstrel" Parker trying very hard to spin-doctor his way out of his culpability in the "perpetuation" of the Richard Nygren persona, I've noticed that Jonathan Neville has been quite insistent on pinning a significant amount of responsibility on Daniel C. Peterson for the shenanigans ...

Does anyone have a link to the Pynakker podcast where he addresses "Richard Nygren"? At about 1:42 Reel posts a clip. In it, Pynakker tells the story and says "so Richard don't misquote me." As in Richard Nygren. Parker responds by correcting the misquote. Got it. So, Parker was originally respondi...
