Will Schryver's Benefactor

[_Nomad]

Hi Kevin,

For the record, the Phelps letter was brought to my attention by Don Bradley. (I'm pretty sure I credited Don in a footnote in my JWHA article. Citing the person who brought a source to your attention isn't considered obligatory in scholarly circles, but for the really new and special ones it's generally considered the polite thing to do.) I don't really care about the fact that Will didn't cite me in his presentation. In fact, I think I prefer it that way.

Peace,

-Chris

Why do you think Will should have cited you? How did you contribute to his paper?

When will the madness end? For the love of Pete, let this die, people.

I'm just curious why Christopher (and others, it seems) think he should have been cited in the Schryver paper? People are also saying (at MDD) that Will somehow stole the knowledge of the Phelps letter from either Chris or Don Bradley. Why do people say these things if there is no evidence to support the charges?

I frankly don't give a crap.

Did you read my post? Because I actually said the opposite of that.

I frankly don't give a s***.

I'm sure you don't. Why would you?

But that doesn't address the question about why OTHER people seem to want to continue piling on Schryver with more allegations when it looks like he will never be back to dispute anything they say. It's like they just aren't content with what they've done already, but want to keep beating the guy up forever. I don't get it.

why was this thread bumped up after 2 months of dormancy? Why can't people just get over this whole Schryver affair? He hasn't posted here for a while, it seems people should be happy about that. Its weird to me that the people who seem to hate him the most wish he would come back, at least talk about him enough to suggest to me they want him back.

I know I know...no one hates him--"I actually like him"...whatever.

+1.

I'm glad to hear that you don't think you ought to have been cited for something in the paper. But there are lots of your friends who seem to believe otherwise. Kevin Graham even has said that Schryver "plagiarized" both you and Samuel Brown.
