Second, he's mentioned from time to time that he's been summoned to "meetings" with Patheos's admin team, the purpose of which was apparently to "rejuvenate" his posting. That, apparently, was the rationale behind several "changes" that were made to his posting style. Well, none of that has seemed to work: the entries are as moribund as ever, with the majority of them being cut-and-pastes from other authors' works, or else he's just posting abstracts from "Interpreter."
Posted today, a copy/paste job that he has posted at least 5 times now:

But the story I’m really after is this one:
Some years later, another Arabian aristocrat, encountering Antarah, mocked him as a person lacking a distinguished lineage. By this time, though, Antarah had achieved renown both as a warrior and as a poet. And his response to the man reproaching him is classic:
“You,” he told him, “represent the end of your noble line. I represent the beginning of mine.”

Born to a respected Arab leader and a slave girl, he himself was raised a slave. One day, though, his paternal tribe was under attack and was losing. He stood looking on, holding the reins of his father’s camel. Eventually, his father begged his help, but he coolly replied that a slave was good only for tending goats and running errands. “Alright!” his father cried. “You’re free! Now help us!” Whereupon ‘Antarah went out into the fray and, virtually singlehandedly, saved the day for his tribe.
But he nonetheless continued, for a long time, to be looked down upon by others for his low birth.
Finally, when one high-born Arab mocked him yet again as the son of a slave, he famously responded: “You represent the end of the honor of your line. I represent the beginning of the honor of mine.”

I wonder if they would be willing to do some Bayesian articles in Interpreter on the power of the Ph.d witnesses for Snuffer as they are on Martin Harris... Someone ought to ask them just to see if they make further biased asses of themselves. They will pull the old canard ad hoc excuse that the Lord works only with the simple and weak things of the earth, in which case, what are they being Ph.d holders, doing defending the Lord?! 
Shouldn't that be left to the 3rd and 4th grade educated of Utah?
