I"ve already confessed that I did it from the grassy knoll, with a rope, in the drawing room. One more detail: At the beginning of the meeting in which we planned the whole smear-campaign, our coven sacrificed a small child.

I hope this is enough.

Coupled with the evidence of my sordid misdeeds already chronicled here at painful and epic length -- a man told me that Mike Quinn was gay; several years later, another man told me that yet another man had mentioned to him that Mike Quinn was gay; and, as if that's not damning enough, perhaps three or four other people, over the course of a number of years, mentioned in my presence that Mike Quinn was gay -- this final confession ought to cement my reputation for evil in the minds of all decent people.

I feel so much cleaner now.

I am also guilty of having been told that Mike Quinn is gay.

On the other hand, Scratch's analyisis of what went down online seems a fair topic but the person that claimed there was a transcript should be the main one answering for that.


No one asked him why these people lied on the ZLMB thread. I simply asked what his opinion was of the obvious deception that took place by a number of people who generally make it a point of defending him and aligning themselves with him. Seems like a fair question. I'm new here, but we can ask for opinions I gather. The point of this thread, as far as I can tell, was to point out the concerted effort of many apologists to deceive.

I never knew of Mike Quinn or his being gay before I read this thread. I am so thankful that now I know.

"Moving beyond apologist persuasion, LDS polemicists furiously (and often fraudulently) attack any non-traditional view of Mormonism. They don't mince words -- they mince the truth."

This was unnecessary.

Your reputation for evil was cemented in my mind ages ago.

Of course, confession is apparently good for the "soul" so maybe Danny does feel better after this. Assuming, of course, he has a soul.

Look what you did, Dan! You smeared Quinn's reputation with barrelomonkeys. Way to go, smart guy.

Okay, you usually just piss me off, but that was funny! :D

Although finding out someone is gay is not a smear in my book.

Here's one:

Is a transcript really a transcript if the transcript consists of a few notes about something compiled after the fact and not really recorded during the proceeding themselves?

Or maybe a better question:

If a transcript is written after the fact in a forest of apologists but no critic's there to read it, does it really exists at all?
