Fake Dr. Shades asks the wrong question. The right question is whether he, and Doctor Scratch, who boasts about being the fake B. H. Roberts Chair of Mopologetic Studies at a fake university, equal or superior to ordinary faithful Latter-day Saints? Or is someone like Dr LOD (a.k.a. Dr. Velho Burrinho) even competent, or honest, or an academic/scholar?
I don’t believe I ever called myself a academic. I turned down a MD/PhD spot at Dartmouth medical school, so maybe he is on to something. Actually a PhD after a MD degree is only nominally useful and not required for academic medicine.

At least in the type of scholarship, Mopologetics that he has dedicated his life to by our interaction one should question his competence, as well as honesty. This is due to the the overall levels of intellectual dishonesty that one is required to participate in to be a Mopologist.

As a relative novice dealing with that field I was able to play his own game and dismantle one component of his carefully crafted narrative about himself. So far he has not offered a mature response, on level with being a university professor.

I would expect such a response, to be contained in a well structured review of Colvins book, and published in their “peer reviewed” journal.

I’ll donate $500 to their foundation if Midgley can produce such a review, by the end of 2020.

Nothing but crickets so far from Dr. Midgley. Quite shameful, and quite cowardly on his part.

If the Midge would agree to have Dr. Moore review the paper and determine if such was mature and not childish retaliation a la Metcalfe is buthead, I'll donate $500.00 to the interpreter foundation too. That makes $1,000.00. Midge, what say ye??????

I would even include that Professor Midgley can have co-authors for assistance and collaboration with this project, as long as they are listed in the byline.

So I clicked on the link that Gad posted, which I almost never look in there. Anyone notice that the topic almost immediately shifts from the blog entry to MDB? Do the smart guys over there realize how much effort they are investing in advertising this board? :lol:
