Why is it a low blow to call a lie a lie?
What would you call it? Virtually everything John Gee says on this subject is wrong. So what is his excuse if he is supposed to be a qualified Egyptologist?

How you can conclude this video is well produced, is in complete ignorance of the blatant lies it contains. What "being human" has to do with presenting false data makes your point rather clear, because you don't have one. Please explain one single fact in these videos that you found to be profound... just one.

Will Schryver recently informed me that he has been permanently banned from this board and he asked that I let people know this and to mention that he won't be returning to the boards and to give everyone his well wishes.
Thanks, -Wade Englund-
Not published by FAIR, permanently banned from the MADboard ... have we seen the last of him, do you think?
No wait, he is soon to be published isn't he ... somewhere ...
Zadok: I did not have a faith crisis. I discovered that the Church was having a truth crisis. Maksutov: That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.
If I know Schryver he will not take anything lying down. He thinks he has a whole arsenal of WMDs just waiting to be unleashed on the unsuspecting critic. He likely believes that his publication(s) will forever silence the critics on the KEP.
He's a quintessential apologist who thinks he's on a mission from God to straighten out the whole KEP mess to clear Joseph Smith and the church.
Unfortunately he's only undermined his own credibility with his incessant grandstanding. His research may be novel but his methodology is quite untested. His articles need to go through a thorough peer review before they should see the light of day. His articles already presage a high-handed polemical style with his threats to take on all others who have published in the field.
Kevin Graham easily pokes holes into Scrhyver's theories and Schryver responds with avoidance, ad hominem, and grandstanding. Schryver needs to realize that he has ratcheted up the hype on his stuff for so long now that once it does come out it will be put under a microscope by both critics and LDS scholars. It may not be a pretty sight.
But unfortunately, again, he's had the images long enough and studied hard enough to believe he now owns the KEP. With this authority he feels the need to correct the errors of all others, have the final word, and save the faith.
So, despite the fact he's been banned over there, make no mistake about it, he'll be back.

Well, there's always his Nomad sock puppet. And Wade might as well be his sock puppet too - he is as faithfully obedient as any sock puppet.
