Where have all the scholars on MAD gone???

Post by _Mary »

Okay, I may be on my own here, but I miss the posts of some of the more knowledgable and high profile posters like
Daniel C P, Bill Hamblin, David B, and yes Juliann, (who also has her own areas of expertise) amongst others.

Where have they gone. The board isn't the same without them......

I think you are being too kind with listing Juliann together with the others. What kind of study has she done?
I detest my loose style and my libertine sentiments. I thank God, who has removed from my eyes the veil...

---DCP is on hiatus. Our criticism of him eventually got to be more than he could bear, and so he announced that he would be taking a "leave of absence."
---Perhaps for similar reasons, Bill Hamblin has been a virtual non-presence on the fittingly named MADboard. I have seen him write only one post since the board made the change from FAIR to MAD. And that post was essentially a smooch-fest for a new book by DCP.
---David B. has been around. He was posting on this board using the nom de g. "Enuma Elish" for a while.
---juliann is not a scholar. She is a wannabe.

The other scholars, such as Kevin Graham, Paul O., Uncle Dale, Dan Vogel, and Brent Metcalfe have all migrated over here. MDB has become the "place to be."

I noticed that you forgot to mention William Schryver. As to where he is: who knows? He is rather like Carmen Sandiego, I guess.....

Hi Mr Scratch.

Yes, I noted a comment from Charity over there that suggested that many had been put off.

Maybe they just get sick of harping over the same subjects again and again and again.

I don't know!!

AArgh. I never put Will Schryver down as a scholar though, he/she always seemed too emotional?

No offence to Will though, but is he a real person?
I could never make head nor tail of it.

Dan C is Dan C, Juliann R is Juliann R, Bill is Bill, but I have no idea who Will Schryver is? (very confusing with all the Provis, etc stuff)

Edited to add that I just checked your most excellent blog, and am now aware that I am not the only one confused about who or what
Will Schryver is.

Will the real Will Schryver pleaaaaaaaaaaaase stand up!!!

(very confusing)

Yes, Will Schryver is a real person. I've met him.

Why all the mystery surrounding him?

Still waiting for Will to back this up...

Hello, Who Knows.

Can you elaborate. What are his areas of expertise?

Okay, I just did some googling on him and found that he is a resident of Utah.

Thanks. (He is a real person)

I don't know much about him. I think he does some movie/documentary type stuff - editing maybe. Not really sure. I don't think he has an 'area of expertise' related to apologetics. I think he just got really interested in all the Book of Abraham/KEP stuff. After all the hype died down, he vanished.

Thanks. I didn't ever look on Will as a high profile poster which is why I didn't include him in my original list.
