Bridgett Meyers: The Un-anti-Mormon

An interesting post from the past, under the title, "Meet Kevin Graham," by California Kid:
Just wanted to let everyone know that Bridget Jack Meyers of ClobberBlog wrote up a great introduction to the life of one of our own, the inestimable Kevin Graham. Kevin is also scheduled to write some posts there on the Book of Abraham at some point in the near future.
Clicking on the link provided to Myers blog, we see:
NOT FOUND.
I wonder what happened to her essay on the charming Mr. Graham, introducing him to us as the officer and gentleman that he is?
I wonder, could it be that, given that Graham is among the most extreme, partisan, hostile, narcissistic, and intellectually unstable critics among apostate LDS online today, Jack decided, per her pose as a disinterested, moderate voice of scholarly criticism, that being associated with the ex-Mormon version of Keith Olbermann might not be such a good idea?
Can the essay still be read somewhere?

Uh Droopy my friend, isn't this a bit like the pot and kettle thing? I mean really man, you think you are not extreme, hostile and partisan as well?
Well you are.
But I think neither of you are necessarily narcissistic or intellectually unstable. Not you, not Kevin.

In Droopy's world, he is God's gift to the written word, so of course he doesn't see himself as any such thing. He'd probably see himself more as a William F Buckley Jr. but replacing the Catholic part with Mormon, and take away the British accent.

Well you are.
No. I respond, periodically and over time, with assertiveness and passion when I am attacked and baited. The vast majority of my ten year posting history has been civil and idea based. Graham, on the other hand, has no posting history demonstrating civility or intellectual collegiality with his peers. None. Graham's core personality is as far from mine as Godzilla's from Bambi's
But I think neither of you are necessarily narcissistic or intellectually unstable. Not you, not Kevin.
Graham is so absorbed in his own narcissism, self importance, and intellectual snobbery (heaven knows how anyone with Kevin's clear lack of substantive education across a plethora of subjects can attain such dizzying heights of self regard in this sense) that "unstable" is the best that can be said. I notice, Jason, that the only people you ever attack for being aggressive or for pushing back when they're pushed, are the apologists. The critics, no matter how frenzied and ignorant they are, get a pass from you.
But such are the fruits of apostasy, it seems.

Droopy is an amazing word salad shooter. I just feel bad for his poor, abused thesaurus. Not to mention those poor, abused adjectives. He writes like a high school senior desperately attempting to sound literate. Possibly after having read Atlas Shrugged.

Yet again, I will have to ask all those with roughly seventh to eighth grade reading comprehension and vocabulary levels, such as Toronto, stak, and Buffalo, to avoid my posts and save themselves the development of personal insecurity issues.
Thanks.

It's hilarious and sad that Droopy thinks his fourth grade reading level compositions are at all improved through thesaurus abuse.

Leave poor Droopy alone. He does the best he can.
