I have been researching the "Emma Smith was a champion ****" quote. As is rather well known, I denied writing that for many months prior to the MDB mob producing "evidence" of it in the form of a link to the post where those words appear. Faced with the reality of that post, I apologized for having written it. Since that time I became persuaded that my post was very likely modified by one of the moderators at MDB.

However, try as I might, I cannot assemble sufficient evidence to support my belief that that particular post was tampered with. Therefore I must simply revert to my earlier apology for having said it in the first place (assuming that I did, in fact, say it). I consent that it is possible I wrote it, because I'm not a big fan of Emma Smith, and the discussion in which this post appeared was particularly heated. So, again, I apologize to the long-deceased Emma Smith for calling her a ****. If I did it, I was out of line and it was not warranted.

As for using the dreaded "b" word in reference to harmony and beastie ... well, I'm sorry to disappoint those anxious to condemn me, but I don't feel bad about it. They are, as I said at the time, two extraordinarily deceitful women.

As to the claim made by harmony that I called her the infamous "c" word in a post she claims to have subsequently deleted (she is a moderator at MDB), that is an absolute lie. She knows it. Her suborned witnesses know it. They are shameless liars. I have never used that word in my life, whether in private or in public.

I also did not make the post under the moniker "WilliamSchryver" (no space between the names), although I commend whoever did it for mimicking my writing style quite well. Even if I had written it, it is hardly evidence supporting the allegation of misogyny. I am not a misogynist, any more than are Dan Peterson and Bill Hamblin, both of whom have had that allegation made of them in recent weeks.

However, "MsJack" IS a deceitful propagandist, as has become abundantly apparent to a great many people over the course of the past several months. If nothing else good has come of the events of the past year, at least the real Bridget Jeffries has been unmasked in the eyes of many people who had previously believed her to be an objective observer of Mormonism.

I again reiterate the demonstrable fact that, out of over 10,000 posts in over six years of message board posting, the MDB mob was only able to dig up this mere handful of allegedly offensive things I have ever written. Less than .1% of my total posting history! All things considered, I think that's a pretty damn good record. Would that we all bridled our tongues so well ...
