I don't know, Scratch. I really have a hard time believing that any of the bretheren are wasting a lot of time monitoring a message board. Many of them are older than the Internet era, and message boarding is just not a comfortable medium. What I do gain a sense of, is that the Bretheren are not th...

There have been a couple of intriguing new developments to the thread. In one, Prof. P claims that "very few" notable LDS scholars have anything to do with apologetics and/or the ironically named FAIR message board: What "high profile LDS scholars" even know that this message boa...

Ouch. This assessment from Tal Bachman is quite brutal. Then again, Prof. P. has long been asking for it, as he has been pretty relentless in referring to Bachman as "Tal Tales". The most devastating bit is indeed the quote from Peterson's own alma mater, UCLA: And lastly, this, from the c...

Yes, the one you're thinking of was definitely the one from which I mailed it. This is really befuddling me. I'll be sure to tell you the address to which I sent it ASAP. By the way, does anyone know the e-mail addresses of Rollo Tomasi and Who Knows? How about Mr. Scatch? I liked his posts and sev...
