Good for you, LOaP! You certainly have one thing right. You are no star witness. Your incessant, petty references to Scratch by the female pronoun, as though this were some kind of insult, show exactly what kind of ignorant, minor-league twerp you are. You could say you saw Daniel walk on water, and the only thing it would prove is the profound depth of your sycophancy.
I do nothing different from what routinely appears in the pages of
FARMS Review. Nor do I do anything much different than DCP's "RfM sig-line archive." The difference is that my commentary is limited strictly to Mopologetics, and to what is accessible online. Never have I, for example, contacted somebody's family, as DCP has done. Nor have I ever posted private information, as juliann and Pahoran did on their "Mr. Itchy" blog. Furthermore, I've never ripped into somebody's professional credibility, as have DCP, and Bill Hamblin, and many others who sought to destroy Quinn's career as a historian (and arguably succeeded, at least in certain circles). As I pointed out to Bob on a separate thread, I have never ever criticized DCP's professor-of-Middle-Eastern-studies work. I've never engaged in the sort of real-life gossip akin to what Gee and The Good Professor were doing to Prof. Robert Ritner.
Am I sometimes kind of a bastard, and do I sometimes question the character of Mopologists? Yes, that's no doubt true. But nowhere have I ever meddled in people's in real life worlds in the way that these Church defenders have.
