Only he knows whether it is too big of a risk. I am interested to see what he says.

Thanks, -Wade Englund-
I suspect that's what the Hale Boppers thought too.

Mister Scratch wrote:Trevor, this is very interesting. It seems you have stumbled upon some arcane variation of the Wounded Nerd Theory. I wonder if you can elaborate on this a bit---i.e., which "mysteries" are you referring to, and how would you differentiate them from the "mainstream, Chapel Mormonism" mysteries you mention?
Why, thanks Scratch! I was beginning to think that my post had gone largely unnoticed. I am afraid that I introduced a little confusion by misplacing a prepositional phrase. I wasn't actually differentiating types of mysteries, although this might be a worthwhile thing to do, but speaking in terms of the "mysteries" Mormons are so often warned not to delve into. The student of the mysteries really wants to do this badly, thinks he or she can handle it, and looks to Mopologetics as a legitimate venue for doing just that.
Ah, okay. But I am still a trifle bit confused. What "mysteries" do you have in mind? LGT? Lamanite DNA? "Some things that are true aren't very useful"? Also, which apologist(s) are you thinking of who might fit the bill?
Do you think it would be entertaining, enlightening, and/or helpful to categorize all the known apologists into their various likely motivators, as you outlined in your opening post?
Yes, I think that would be enormously entertaining, enlightening, and/or helpful. I have already done a bit of that. E.g., Pahoran and Will Schryver are clearly hostile Righteous Warrior types.

It might be entertaining, but I doubt it would be accurate. I mean... look: Lamanite called me a juliann. We know that can't be right!

PS Welcome to the board Kish, you are a breath of fresh air unlike the Dr.
If you model your posts on those of Pokatator -- study the one above, very carefully -- you will shortly be contributing substance, evidence, analysis, and fresh air by the bucketload, just as Pokatator does, with each post a unique and original gem, just like his.
