I now don't think that Dr. VelhoBurrinho will respond. I assume that he now knows that his typical slash and run will get him booted. And he must also sense that there is nothing in what Rob Joseph has published that he can fault, including his essays on portions of the Maori historical narrative, that Dr. VelhoBurrinho insists that I invented, and have tried to thrust upon the poor helpless Maori Saints. He had to hear Rob claim that the Maori initiation in a whare wananga was remarkably like being Endowment in a Latter-day Saint Temple.
I would like to know exactly why he hates me. But I may end up not knowing the answer.
I still have to smile about those curious run-on sentences that he fashions.

It has now been four hours and no response from Dr. VelhoBurrinho. Why he is trying to figure out if he is going to respond, or how he might do so, I must point out that if Dr. VelhoBurrinho had been following recent gossip about me on the Shades board, he would have known that there is a book that should be in print in a month. And if he had bothered to even glance at the Contents, he would have noticed that it contains an essay on one of the key elements of the Maori Latter-day Saint historical narrative. It is the longest essay in that book.
So the speculation by Dr. VelhoBurrinho that Dr. Joseph would not approve of my own efforts to set out and defend the key elements of the Maori Latter-day Saint historical narrative from the criticisms of Marjorie Newton and others, is simply ludicrous.

I am now wondering if EV is Dr. VelhoBurrinho.

Dr. VelhoBurrinho: While you are thinking about how to answer this crucial question, if you intend to do so, please keep in mind that you have prevented others (and perhaps also yourself) from access to your posting history. I have printed all the relevant items that you have posted. I mention this to caution you that you cannot dig your way out of holes you have dug for yourself in exchanges we have had on Dan's blog.
I also agree with Dan about reading run-on sentences.

I think that VB does not think that my essays and reviews on the faith of Maori Latter-day Saints were peer reviewed.

Dr. VelhoBurrinho: I have made no "ourbursts" anywhere about what you call "cultural appropriation of native peoples." That has been your game beginning with your first remark about me over four months ago. This is not the place, nor the time, to describe my remarks as a "diatribe." I strongly urge you to address those two issues, and cease the florid language and insults. Or you will be given the boot.

Dr. VelhoBurrinho: I insist that you cease speculating, or I will ask Dan to block you from posting on his blog. One more such outburst and you're gone.
Are you now ready to admit that you are flatly wrong about my having invented the Maori Latter-day Saint historical narrative being something I fashioned and projected on Maori Latter-day Saints?
