Poor Schryver. No one wants to read his crap anyway. His sorry contributions to a doomed subject are fit to be flushed down the toilet with the rest of Mormon nonsense and lies.

Schryver is a liar -- a man with no honor whatsoever. He is total scum. I wish the Mormon church had more like him and I hope he continues to make lots of noise and create attention. All this to make the church look even worse. I love it.

He did. There was an e-mail from William (posted via Nomad) calling them "traitors" and saying "if you lie down with dogs, you get up with fleas" (I'll look it up later). I don't recall him ever saying a word about Bradford at the time.

If and when Andrew's brief response to John Gee is published in Dialogue, William will be glad that his piece wasn't published. Andrew shows that our method of predicting scroll length, properly applied, produces the correct result when applied to Gee's "Toronto scroll". As far as I'm concerned, this is the final validation of our method and our result, and should settle the debate concerning scroll-length calculation for all open-minded readers.

Eventually, he'll get it right: women are ultimately responsible for his failures. I think he believes in Pandora.

I thought that's what I'd heard. I don't care to look it up at this point.

If Dr Bradford is so easily duped
had apparently been influenced by some to believe that the article was apologetic nonsense

and
he demanded that its publication be halted, and used a ridiculous smear piece prepared and/or promulgated by the same group of apostates

we won't have to wait long to see him replaced and/or disciplined, and NAMIRS returned to its proper state.

It's a wonder that he (Dr Bradford) ascended to such a position within BYU.

</sarcasm>

I like the picture that consig paints (instead of manning the battlements, Gerald Bradford stands idly by and twists the ends of his long and waxed mustachios), but it seems that some of Dr Bradford's critics see him playing a much more active role.

How ironic, what with him being an alpha male and all. One would think that his AUTHORITATIVE and MASCULINE apologetics would cause the fairer sex to gather under the umbrella of his man aura.
