I'm at the part with the text messages from Parker to Bill.

This is just too good. Mormon apologists will never learn how to lie without getting egg all over their face. They think they’re so smart with their wordplay and games and it backfires every single time.

How sad. The whole thing, a classic secret combination. Nelson et al should shut them down.

The replay of Parker, who must have spent 1,000 hours trolling Neville as Peter Pan, calling folks on this board “obsessive.” LOL

Parker in the Pawn shop, Reel has a case for a restraining order. Just saying. Maybe he should do that.

Parker, as Peter Pan, responding directly via NNL to an online callout specifically aimed at Richard Nygren. Oops!!

What a tangled web we weave. Those guys are all such immature children.

This behavior has been woven into the culture of Mopologetics practically from the beginning. I would even argue that this sort of thing is the *core* of what they do. The gestures at “scholarship” is just window dressing and it serves as a cover for what they’re really all about.

Good succinct points and review. I cannot for the life of me imagine how embarrassing this has to be to all of them. Yet we know they do not have enough self esteem to actually stop behaving in embarrassing ways.

Yeah, I hear you. It’s a predictable outcome for any organization where you have only incentives for one type of outcome, and no penalty for methods and means. Enron is a classic example and I think the analogy is surprisingly apt for this instance.

The rest of the team should be super pissed at Boylan. If he'd not mentioned race Nygren would have eventually been just been another burner persona on the discarded sock puppet pile.

One good thing for Boylan, perhaps, is that, compared to Prof P, Smoot, and Parker, I believe he used to be relatively unknown.

Not so now.

I haven’t read through the thread to see if this has already been said. You’d think whomever came up with the name Richard Nygren as a black man from B’ham Alabama would have chosen a more traditional name such as Johnson, Jackson, maybe even Nygrenson. But no, it seems a Swedish name was assigned to this alleged black dude from The Magic City. For what it’s worth that was my first 🚩 when this topic surfaced.

And due to the uniqueness of the name, an internet search for Richard Nygren will always lead people here. Nygren is forever linked to Robert Boylan, Mike Parker, Spencer Krauss, Daniel Peterson, and Stephen Smoot.

Another indelible black eye for Mormon apologetics.
