I understand ... you're too busy going after guys like GoodK.

Nor should you be.

What, no "love."?

I only wish there were more hours in the day for trashing major Japanese cities, destroying families, exterminating endangered species, defacing natural landmarks, polluting rivers, and the like.
So much to do, so little time.

When I was very small, several centuries before the invention of videotape, I once watched the original Godzilla movie nine times in a single week. I can still hum the theme song.
It was via Godzilla that I came to admire the great Japanese actor Raymond Burr.
I've tried to model my life on that lizard.

Interesting that Raymond Burr (whom I as a young journalist once interviewed one-on-one very briefly) before his death seemed to have undertaken a systematic reprise of his former roles, including the one in Godzilla. I think he got so wrapped up in the new Perry Mason series that he never got around to revisiting Ironside. I know he talked about doing a sequel to Rear Window, but he never got to that one either.

Don't despair, you've already accomplished quite a lot of damage. Well done.

Lessee.
According to Scartchite demonology, I've destroyed GoodK's idyllic family life, terminated Mike Quinn's academic career, demolished Tokyo, and grievously slandered Robert Ritner.
I know, however, that those aren't the only high points of my vicious and unscrupulous career as seen from Scartchworld, and I'd like to make a complete list of my towering criminal achievements in Scartchite myth. Would you care to list them in concise bullet-point form?
I'd appreciate it, and I'm sure that others here will also profit from the review.
Thanks in advance.

You contributed to the greater estrangement between he and his father.

You have helped get him blacklisted in the Mormon studies community.

I have no evidence of that.

True enough.

This is enough for now. You've made monumental success already by recognizing at least some of your wrongs. Congrats!

So he's said.
Do you have any independent corroboration of that? Do you know anything about the overall relationship between father and son, and about its history?
Rollo Tomasi wrote:... terminated Mike Quinn's academic career ....

No I haven't. That's simply absurd, and wholly false.
Rollo Tomasi wrote:... demolished Tokyo ....

You have no actual evidence for any of these claims.
When has that ever given you or Master Scartch even the slightest pause?
Rollo Tomasi wrote:... and grievously slandered Robert Ritner.

No. Completely false.
But, ironically, you've slandered, and continue to slander, me.
By name. Publicly. And anonymously. (Speaking of "well done.")

I think my best was the destruction of Tokyo. And it's much better documented than any of my other mythical exploits. There's actual film of it.
