The theory the "skin of blackness" with which the Lamanites were cursed ("that they might not be enticing unto my people") was a reference to animals skins that they wore is . . . not a good theory.
Mopologist Stephen Smoot took several classes from DCP while a student at BYU. Stephen must feel a sense of shame, jealousy and sadness every time DCP reminds us that Dan McClellan was his best student.
Careful readers will note I never said Dan claimed McClellan was his best student. I simply made the assertion all by myself, as Mr. Dud.“DCP” wrote: Over at the Peterson Obsession Board, denigrating and mocking Stephen Smoot (presumably because he threatens their position) is a popular occasional pastime, as is, much less frequently, lionizing Dan McClellan (because they esteem him, whether correctly or not, as a potent weapon against Latter-day Saint apologetics and Latter-day Saint beliefs). Recently “Dumb-Dud” and my Mini-Stalker have teamed up there to use me in this game, and I think that I need to contradict their abuse of me (and of Brothers Smoot and McClellan) now, before it settles into the record as being true:
Supposedly, I have somewhere pronounced Dan McClellan the best student that I ever had. But Steve Smoot, they say, also took several classes from me while he was a student at BYU, and so, therefore, my identification of Dan McClellan as my all-time best student must surely fill Brother Smoot with shame and jealousy and sadness.
However, I don’t believe that Steve Smoot ever took a class from me at BYU. (He can correct me on that if I’m wrong.) And I have never said that Dan McClellan was the best student that I ever had at BYU. I’ve never even said that about anybody privately. Nor would I ever say it publicly — not least for the very reason that I wouldn’t want to cause other good students to feel relatively devalued. I’ve said, yes, that Dan was a very good student. But I haven’t crowned a “best student ever,” not even in my own mind. There are several past students who, if I ever cared to do so, would definitely be in the competition.
Mr. Dud does do right.
They broke character recently and basically admitted that they do read this forum. There’s no other way they would understand Dan’s contextless and intentionally vague posts.Marcus wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 10:29 pmI was looking up a gemli comment and ended up seeing the SEN blog entry under discussion.

After reading here I get it, and, as usual, the blogger has got it quite backwards.
Does he have so few regular readers that by now all of them know to come here for information to explain his nonsensical entries? Who exactly does he write for?
And last question, does he realize how much more traffic he is creating for this forum with his obsessive commenting on us?
Lol, got it, thank you. And I agree, his regulars have to tolerate a lot of repeats!drumdude wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2024 10:43 pmThey broke character recently and basically admitted that they do read this forum.

Like, who can keep up with all his euphemisms and nicknames, and inside jokes that he thinks are still funny after 1,000 times?
